We recently switched TV's. We went from a more than adequate 2000 Lincoln Navigator with a self-leveling rear-end (air bags) which towed our 1575 easily straight and true to a more than adequate new-to-us 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab LTZ (V8, 5.3L, factory tow package, integrated brake controller, ...). *Here is the thread on our TV switch - http://lanceowners.hoop.la/top...ed-to-a-new-to-us-tv While the truck is much more than adequate to handle our small, skinny, & light 1575...

Fully loaded rig very curvy & hilly tow test with stop-and-go traffic as well as up to 65 mph sections - Success! The 3 wedges on the fronts & 2 wedges on the rears is the perfect combo. for our set-up. Drove from Santa Rosa, CA to Bodega Dunes cg in Bodega Bay, CA with absolutely no issues. No sway (although we didn't have any to begin with), sponginess, or porpoising. The TV & TT travel as a single unit in braking, stopping, accelerating, cruising, over bumps & pot holes,...

We'll be hanging out in that area of AZ for the first 2 weeks of January. Anyone else be around then? Our schedule has us heading wayyy east on Hwy 10 about the same time you guys are showing up. Jim

Where are you going to be hanging out in AZ? What is your southbound route from Oregon?

I've had one of these on the trailer for years and finally had to put it to use this past summer. We had a blow out on hwy 84 and had to pull over on the side of the freeway. The shoulder was sloped at a pretty good angle and the semis whizzing by at 80 mph shook the trailer every time they passed by. If all I had to depend on was some sort of bottle jack, I'm pretty sure it would have become dislodged when one of those trucks whizzed by. The Trailer Aid is an invaluable tool for...
