[A/S] Newbie Towing Questions
Hello,
I'm new to RVing and would greatly appreciate the opinions of the
seasoned travelers in this discussion list.
I just bought a 2003 Safari 25 C 6-sleeper and am planning to tow it
with a 1998 Ford E 150 Club Wagon -- 4.6L V8 engine --3.55 axle ratio-
-GCWR 11,500--Max. Trailer Weight 4,700.
The Airstream dealer will install the hitch--Multi fit Receiver,
Equalizer bars, Sway Control, Electric brakes, Adjustable mount and
ball, Bergman plug.
Here are my questions:
Is the Ford van an adequate towing vehicle for the Safari?
Will the towing package installed by the dealer be sufficient?
Is there anything I should be aware of before my first road trip with
this combination?
Thanks so much for your help.
Millie
