Towing Vehicle Advice

Looking to purchase a 19 or 22 ft Bambi but need to acquire an appropriate towing vehicle first. Any suggestions as to what I will need such as number of cylinders (8 vs 6), horsepower, transmission gear ratios, or any other towing requirements? A little new to this trailer hauling business as you might be able to detect. Thanks in advance.

What year bambi? Old bambis are light and you could get away pulling it with small trucks like a S10. Harder to find and pertty pricey if in any kind of shape. A newer bambi might actaully be a bit cheaper.

Also Bambi's are short and did not come in 22ft lengths.

www.vintageairstream.com has a phot archives of the various years.

Is a complete list of weights to expect 1954 -2002.

Might also dig in the towing section of this forum. Tow vehcile questions are pretty regular and a lot of information is available in there.

Good luck on your search.
