[A/S] Airstream wannabe question



Cathy - Please give some serious thought to the suggestions shared on this
List - that you should use a larger tow vehicle for your Bambi. All the
various measures need to be taken into consideration, and allow a margin for
error and the manuufacturer's overstatement. Yes, there are cost savings to
be had with smaller tow vehicles and some folks dislike using larger
vehicles for every day driving. But as Hunter said, RV's do flip over, large
trucks cause 'drafts' as they pass you that are DANGEROUS and accidents are
not always your fault. But the result is always ugly. Larger tow vehicles
can & do make a huge difference in your comfort level when towing. Arriving
at your vacation destination all stressed out, with your hands in a
semi-permanently closed, white kuckle grip isn't my idea of relaxation.
You're getting some excellent, experienced advise on this subject. Good luck
on your fix-up project. Please let us know how it goes.
