    Model A camper

    This was in Hemmings. Looks like quite a load for an A.

    I guess it depends on some of the modifications like on this thread

        Look up a Modern, small, "AIRSTREAM" Trailer, that would be PERFECT for a Model A.

        We traveled Route 66, many times in a similar one. Inside was wall to wall mattresses, 3 spare tires/wheels.
        At night, Chief arranged the 3 wheels outside, like a Teepee, covered it with a tarp & Bulger was on WATCHDOG DUTY. On the door wuz a sign, ".45 INSIDE"

      Just how did you determine his tongue load is to heavy?
