Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

I cannot personally assist you with your issue, as I don't tow anything of significance, but other members of this Forum much more knowledgeable than me in this area will chime in.

I like your approach better. Time to upgrade to a pusher diesel MH.
