Towing and Hitch weights

Being a notorious thread drifter, I thought I would share this with those interested. I looked up the 12 page instructions for use for the Sherline scale. I read it all the way through. Although I have towed trailers for well over 50 years, I learned new stuff today and had many other towing tidbits bought back to the front of my feeble brain. This instruction sheet is the best written info on towing I've seen and probably answers about 50 questions I've seen on towing since I began watching the forum. Do what you want, I would reccomend taking the time required to read and digest the info, even if you don't have a scale and already know your tow information. This has been a public service announcement. There will be a ten point shotgun on Friday, bring a blue book.
