Re: Motorhomes as tow vehicles

["ahrides" <ahrides@gateway.net>]

YES!

I have friends who tow this way.  One night I followed them home from a
ride.  One of their trailer bearings went dry, overheated and began throwing
sparks onto the road.  They were completely unaware of the problem.  I hate
to think of what might have happened had I not been behind them.  When they
stopped a fire broke out in that wheel!  Horse drinking water put out the
fire, horses were unloaded, etc. and all ended well.

I also heard of a blowout being undetected.

Without a camera system to observe the trailer, I do not think this is safe.
