Safe-T-Plus

[Gary Miller]

David,

Are you pulling a toad? If so, is it tracking well and aligned?

It seems to me my toad helps stabilize my coach in the gusty
conditions. Having 5,000 pounds on the rear, tracking straight
along in relatively clean air seems to keep the wagging to a
minimum. It even seems to dampen the occasional momentary lapses by
the distracted driver...
