[A/S] Small Tow Vehicle




In response to your question, we have a 1963 Bambi
which we have towed with the V8 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 and
now tow with a 2003 Ford Ranger Pickup.  We've NEVER
had a problem.  Now, we've never been through the
Rocky's but found it fine pulling through the hills of
Missouri and on the flats of Illinois and Texas.

We've just purchased a 1971 Ambassador which we've
been advised should use a F2500 truck or equivalent. 
NOT the F150.  For now, we are using it as a weekender
at our lake property, but once we get the proper
vehicle we'll be out on the road.

Haven't decided what we are doing with the Bambi which
is undergoing interior updated as the original config
was removed by a previous owner.

I agree with the previous folks who believe you should
stay with small campers with smaller tow vehicles. 
Safety must come first.

Kind regards,
