Re: [VAL] Newbie asking about tow vehicles



Not as old as either of you gentlemen, but I agree with Jim that if you 
are comfortable with towing the 7,000 lb machinery flat bed you can tow 
the Airstream with a 4100 lb dry weight and about a 5000 to 5500 lb wet 
weight.  I think that the V6 is a little underpowered, but then again as 
Stroker McGurk said, some is good, more is better and too much is just 
right.
