Fun idea! That really is my tow combo in the picture when we were in Nevada. The mountain’s are snow covered piles of gravel at our township garage at night. The gif? IDK [emoji23]

For what it is worth that appears to be a European-spec airstream which has a much lighter tongue weight than a US-spec model. Note the little wheel that you manually crank down in the front for pushing the trailer around vs a standard fixed position electric jack that the US models come with.

The euro models built exclusively for export put significantly less stress on the tow vehicle receiver due to light tongue weight. Also note that there is no sway control / as that is not standard practice in Europe.

tow combo.

the suburban is a '77 and the airstream is a '59. Suburban's done, but the airstream needs not only an overhaul but alterations to live in the uk.

Mine before the start of the remodel. 2015 F150 5.0 with 4.11 gears towing 1977 31' Excella 500.



Cheapy Harbor Freight hitch just to get me to the farm. Probably will replace with something nicer once the rebuild is done.

It won't be the main tow vehicle obviously, just for shorter trips.
