Tongue weight is 108 lbs with the car as far forward as I can get it. Some say the tongue weight should be 10 to 15 % of total. Others say 5 to 10 %. Let's hear your opinions on the subject. === Towing a 7200 lb boat and trailer with my pickup truck, I found that 700 or 800 lb tongue weight was about right. I also increased pressure on the rear truck tires about 5 lbs to stiffen up the side walls. If you're towing with your big RV, that should be more stable than a pickup truck. What I did when setting up was to take it out on the highway and slowly increase speed. With an RV you might want to have someone following unless you have a good rear facing camera. I'd also recommend carrying one or two spare trailer tires. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com I'm going to try towing with the car first. I do have one spare. Don't worry about spares. If a trailer tire blows, just hop in the golf cart and get to the nearest gas station! :) |
