Well, I'm sure John has driven an M35-A2 Oshkosh down
places
that
wern't considered a road before.

Pulling a truck and a camper or boat should be a breeze.

Depends on the driver and the circumstances. I've seen large
travel
trailers and large boats literally virtually jackknife on the
road
in
front of us when the driver swerved for one reason or
another.
In
my
opinion, too many trailer towers drive too damned fast for
conditions
and their abilities. 60-65 mph should be the legal limit when
you
are
towing a trailer and there should be a mandatory road safety
course
plus
a notation on your license before you can tow anything bigger
than
the
smallest trailer.

In Illinois the max speed for anything pulling a trailer is 60
mph. I
will agree that there are alot of simpletons out there who go
too
fast
on the interstates and demand too much out of their towing
vehicle.

I blame that alot on the pick up builders advertizing outragous
pulling capacities with minimal safety equipment like...
brakes.
especially on the trailer.

In Virginia the trailers must be safety inspected annually.
Anything
over
about
3000lbs (lnot sure of the number), must have trailer brakes.
These
are
checked
annually.

All decisions are the result of binary thinking.

Sucks to be in Virginny.... Up here, if the trailer originally
didn't
come with brakes, it don't need them.

Sucks to be you. If you are in BC and the trailer is some weight
you
must
have brakes, and if it is dual axle all 4 wheels require brakes. I
did
not
see any exemption for shoddy built trailers.

My trailer was built in 1977 by a Company in Woodstock, Ontario. It
did NOT come with brakes, therefore, I do NOT have to install them.
Stay the **** in BC....you know **** about Ontario Laws.

Read the laws, or have someone read them to you, if you have reading
comprehension
problems.

of this years crop.
