I was very surprised with the posts mentioning 65mph. Really? You’d tow a trailer at that speed? I guess you’ll be passing me as I’ll be pulling my mid 70s 27’ trailer in the right hand lane at 55...

I had a residential type switch added in my ‘75. It was installed to disconnect the univolt, probably because of the noise it made while connected.
