2. 7 6 Sway Control Device Tf f Flying Cloud 7 1 Towing Tow Vehicle When buying a new vehicle to tow your trailer we suggest including towing options offered by most tow vehicle manufacturers These include such things as a heavy duty alternator and radiator heavy duty springs and shock absorbers transmission cooler heavy duty fan and flasher unit etc for the make of the vehicle Springs that are too stiff can hinder the action of the weight equalizing hitch and prevent the transfer of weight to the front of the vehicle NOTE Only use springs heavy enough to support your loaded vehicle not including trailer Having a too harsh spring rate on your tow vehicle will only shorten the life of the tow vehicle and trailer and Will cause your trips to be less enjoyable Transmissions may be manual or automatic but an automatic transmission may prolong your tow vehicle s life and generally does a better job of controlling engine loads than does the average driver using a manual shift Having adequate power is very important when considering the purchase of a new vehicle or the trailer towing capability of your present one Auto dealers are provided with guidelines to use when helping a customer decide on a tow vehicle Guidelines are not determined solely by the power output of the engine The gear ratio of the differential is also a very important part of the guidelin

12. Equalizing Hitch Load Distribution When a trailer is properly hitched up to a tow vehicle with a load equalizing hitch approximately 1 3 of the trailer s tongue weight will be on the trailer s axles and 2 3 will be transferred to the tow vehicle One third of this weight transfer will be carried by the front wheels and 1 3 by the rear wheels of the tow vehicle See illustration Thus the tire load of each wheel on the tow vehicle will be increased by 1 6 of the trailer s tongue weight The tire air pressure of the tow vehicle should be increased to compensate for this additional weight Refer to the vehicle s owner s manual for this information Flying Cloud The tongue weight should be approximately 10 to 15 of the trailer s total weight but must not exceed 1 000 Ib Under no condition should it exceed the hitch rating Your hitch installer should provide your hitch rating information Towing Tips and Information We want every Airstream owner to be a safe and courteous driver A few hours of towing practice in a large empty parking lot will make pulling your trailer over the road much easier Mark off two corners of the parking lot for left and right turns These corners may also be used to practice backing and parking Tracking Observation Observe that the tracks made by the trailer wheels are distinctly different from those made by the tow vehicle Studying this will make it easier for you to correct mistakes Ge
