Our '69 caddy did a wonderful job towing the 22 footer. And it was a
very pleasant ride. We had a professionally installed hitch and didn't
use the anti-sway bars. You could easily do 70 mph on the flats with
it. Unfortunately, that eventually ruined the drive shaft, which
managed to twist in two on one trip.
