[FC] Towing a car

[Bruce Gwyther]

Tom's receiver hitch is very nice and works very well. See his link.
      A note to keith about towing a boat;  When backing down ramp to unload
boat the engine may be under water. Just install a trailer ball on the
front. then when you get to the boat ramp switch the boat trailer to the
front and drive it into the water. Much easer to steer and handle anyway.
Might get your feet wet being the FC cab is so far forward but at least you
won't drown out your motor. I have one of my motor homes set up this way and
I love it. The 'Brier should the boat fine!!
