My sister tows a 27' ultra-lite SOB with her Hemi Durango with an Equal-izer hitch. I was surprised by the tow capacity of the Durango (beats my 1/2 ton truck with a 6.0 litre) . I have also followed her for several 1,000 miles through mountains and windy flats (Georgia to Ohio). I never noted any loss of control, near misses, and quite honestly she didn't sway much if any at all. She is a safe driver...keeps the speed in control and drives responibly.
I don't totally understand when Airstream owners talk about how nice the Airstream is too haul. They cite aerodynamics, alignment and balance only to go on and say you need a 3/4 ton or 1 ton dually to haul a trailer under 30 foot.
I also agree with other people that most MOHOs (Airstreams not included) are not very well designed and I don't trust them. Given some of the wrecks I have seen I can't believe my parents used to let us get up and go to the bathroom and walk around in these rolling death traps.
If I were you I would find the size Airstream you are comfortable hauling within the towing specs permitted, then I would listen to Andy and hitch up the right way. IMHO Airstreams are the best hauling trailers on the road and I think that translates into safer operation.
