I always enjoy these threads as some will always say "I will bet .... The real question is are you willing to bet your life, your families lives and others if you lose the bet? Just saying.

I towed my 31'er without WD for about twelve to fifteen thousand miles with my heavily sprung 1/2 ton 4WD.

WD was not an issue really, sway was not an issue at sixty mph or below.

There is really not much of anything in life that isn't a "bet". Practically every action is about managing risks.

I towed my 25'er with my F250 4X4 for about 300 miles. It dropped my rear end less than an inch. No problems but I took it easy. Still planning to get a WD.

Sounds good! It's always a relief when we read a post like this after reading some of the more riskier suggestions.

Once home with the Propride on site you can probably get your money back selling the Reese on Kijiji etc.

Good luck with the new to you, Airstream.

Yes, we are driving up this Thursday. Going to take it easy on the ride back, and perhaps stay over night somewhere.

We've got a nice covered unit lined up until we can store her at our current house. I need to sell two more cars to make room.

My original plan was to buy our truck this month, and the AS in Oct. But jumped on deals in both cases. Very excited.
