Page 5: Safe Towing Guidelines
1. SAFE TOWING GUIDELINES All of the employees at BUSHTEC wish to thank you for your purchase of the finest touring cargo trailer made in the world. Please take a few moments to review the contents of your owner’s manual to insure thousands of trouble-free miles of use. -
Page 6: Loading & Tongue Weights
2. LOADING AND TONGUE WEIGHTS Tongue weight is a much-discussed aspect of trailer use. Too much is bad, not enough is bad, so how do you determine the happy medium? Point in fact dictates that a trailer will wander if tongue weight is not sufficient to give the trailer “direction”. Without “direction”, all trailers will wander behind the tow vehicle and cause handling problems. -
