By looking at the tracks, looks to me like you just completely forgot the trailer was back there. Thats ok, though, we've all done that before lol. My last incident was with an empty jet ski trailer.... it was in bad shape when I got done with it... lots of welding repairs were needed lol.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. The tracks don't lie. Blamed it on the snow, ice, too sunny, whatever...but, I was preoccupied with adjusting the radio to hear Rush Limbaugh and sipping on a beer (on my property). I mean what could go wrong when it's in compound low and crawling back in reverse? Kick myself for doing that. Dang, sorry that you weren't so lucky.

Another photo towing at Ocotillo Wells California. Notice the Rec Tec pellet smoker. I ran it off the twin EU2200I Honda generators in the back of the Power Wagon. I smoked some beef and pork that trip. Delicious

Hard to tell in that pic, but is there something weird going on with your hitch setup?!

That trailer could certainly use a much bigger drop hitch.

 

[Grand Mesa]

Yes, I have it hooked up to a much too shallow 6" drop. I just purchased a Curt 34" extender for carrying two 10 foot long kayaks on the trailer and just mounted it up to see if it actually would work. Haven't taken it out on the road. Got some 8" to 11" drops available to fix the bad trailer rake.
Also, some taller ST205 90 15 (7.00-15) tires will be replacing the 215 75R15 ones on it which would give it more height.

Granted you loose some off-road flex, the AEV kit tows beautifully.

Curious what you're getting for MPG with this setup. I stopped on a road trip through West Virginia last weekend and asked a guy who had a new F-250 and smaller camper what he was getting and he said 8 MPG. Was really shocked with it being diesel and what not.

 

[rgrbobbyedwards]

ALWAYS use a weight distribution hitch with a travel trailer.

I tow a travel trailer with my power wagon. It is 28’ long and 7000 pounds empty. With my weight distribution hitch setup, the truck would sit perfectly level with the trailer. Of course, it really boils down to tongue weight...

Of course, I had to level the truck for when not towing, so I then had to install bags to keep it level when I am towing lol.

Do you have any suggestions on which hitch to go with?

 

[olyelr]

I can really only comment on the equalizer hitch, as that is the only one I have ever used. Works great, as it has the weight distribution and sway control all in one package. Only downside of it that I have came across is it can be a little noisy (popping and clanking on turns).
