Pennsylvania will give you a ticket if they find you hauling that load on a short wheel-base, light duty pickup! Thats if they get to you before you get pushed off a high steep hill, by the load on the back! Its like sending a boy out to do a man's job! I'd sure hate to look in my rear-view mirror and see that load pushing you faster and faster down hill, behind me! Pure Folly! The load equalizing hitch must be installed for towing travel trailers, tent trailers if they are the bigger ones, and/or "luggage " trailers, especially the large ones. Somebody in this section has informed you correctly about load equalizing hitches. Any camper sales place will give the in fo, or you can stop at a dealer, and ask. Google "Camping World" and pick their brains. They have all the info. but, let me say this: The anti-sway device you buy ahould be much bigger than the little sliding type that you just tighten it up with a little "L" shaped handle! They are ok for a small tent trailer, but not for the heavy stuff you want to haul! Have you seen the occasional half-ton pickup, bent up in the middle, after the load shifted, or the trailer jack-knifed, or was hit from behind? Not pretty! Go for a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup, or something with a heavy frame! I towed an eighteen foot travel trailer for around eight years and never had any trouble with sway, load, or anything else. I used our '78 Ford 3/4 ton pickup, with the 800x16.5 wheels and tires. Electric brake on the trailer, with the hand controller. Eight-hole wheels, heavy duty tires. A cap on the back, and a load of camping gear in it. A Reese load equalizing hitch with the Reese anti-sway equipment. The anti-sway deal cost a bundle, but we were safe as we could be!

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
