[A/S] Vintage towing... advise needed.






A question for folks that tow with Vintage vehicles. I am wondering 
what setup you use for towing your rig? We have a '58 ford wagon 
pulling a '67 GlobeTrotter (20 foot, single axle), and every time we 
have tried to tow it, it feels light in the nose, and difficult to 
controll. I recently read a great article from andy at Inland RV, and 
now i think my issue may have been that the airbags i installed in the 
back were too stiff, but i had issues even before i installed them. 
anyway, i was wondering how yours handled, and what sort of hitch and 
set-up you used, and any experince you could share would be greatly 
appreciated. alos, I'm wondering if you tow with full water tanks, and 
how do you load your trailer (nose heavy, tail heavy, balanced...what 
speed do you tow at on the highway? mine seems totally unstable 
starting at about 60.

Thanks for any knowledge you can share.

Thanks!!!
