Dr. Gerald and  anyone else
Maybe I am wrong to feel somewhat responsible but  this has been 
bothering me all afternoon.
My 1964   30' Soverign is for sale.....I am the original owner   and 
today a young woman came to look at it and  made me an offer.    She 
wants to use it for her home on wheels and since she is in the musical 
field  does a lot of moving about for their
jobs and  would prefer to live in the A/S  instead of  motels.
I am afraid that she does not understand  what is needed for a tow 
vehicle  and I am   not sure how  to go about giving her the info about 
a tow vehicle....she mentioned somethiing about getting a older pick up 
truck from a relative but what I need to know
to pass on the info is:    the tongue weight  of my trailer      What 
kind of a tow vehicle is needed to tow it

I have been towing it with a 1 ton Ford  Econline van with an extended 
body   with a Reese hitch with both  equalizer bars and
sway bars        I would feel guilty if  she had an accident by towing 
with too light a truck  

I have pampered this trailer for 39 years and always  kept all 
maintenance up to snuff......always keeping it ready to take off with a 
couple of hours notice so I hope whoever  owns it next  keeps it  for 
many years of happy trailering.    I wish my health had not gone down 
hill and  that I could continue.   I will appreciate any finfo forarded
