Good Lord! WIth a tonner, you won't even notice it's there, with or without
an equalizer. I've got a '75 26' argosy, and towed it home with a station
wagon and an equilizer. Towed better than a 16' sob I have. Very stable, no
fishtailing. Make sure you maintain the recommended tounge weight, and you
should have no problem. My 26 weighs about 4,000 dry--yours would be less.

> Hi folks,

> 1. It's a 1973 24 foot argosy in original condition; except that the
> carpet has been recently replaced.

> 2. To pull it we have a 1996 1 ton, 2 wheel drive, standard cab, diesel
> Dodge dually with a tow package
>
> 3.We do not have an equalizer hitch.
>
> Our biggest questions/fears are:
> Do we need an equalizer hitch since the Dodge doesn't seem to squat at
> all when we attach the Agrees?
> What is the dry hitch weight of the Agrees?
> What is the dry total weight of the Agrees?
> Is the Agrees forgiving, or is it prone to fishtailing?
> None of the above questions were addressed in the original owners manual
> that came with the unit.
> We haven't taken it out on the freeway yet; just around the
> neighborhood, but we're hoping to head south from Salt Lake City in the
> next couple of days to escape the cold, and would really appreciate any
> info that any of you might share with us.
