[VAL] wrong tow vehicle?



http://cms.firehouse.com/content/article/article.jsp?sectionId=45&id=36694

This is pretty much self-explanatory about *why* you need a substantial tow
vehicle for a "substantial" travel trailer.  In one picture of the slide-show
you can see lots of "junk" filling up the front seats and windshield of this
Ford Expedition.  Have to wonder if he hit his brakes and all that junk came
flying forward or not.  Either way that is a lot of stuff to hit you in the
back in an accident.  Maybe it caused the accident?

Some people have asked about a "safe" tow vehicle in the past so this is a
lesson in pictures about why you need a substantial tow vehicle rated for the
job at hand.
