New tow vehicle - Chevy Suburban

   I got the "head" of my WDH switched over to the new drop shank this weekend, so I finally got the chance to take it for a 15 minute test-tow this afternoon.  Even though I didn't use the spring bars (with nothing loaded in the TV or pod it was already level), all I can say is "wow".  Hardly knew it was behind me.  Can't wait to get out there on a real trip.

Didn't get a full-rig picture even though I could have - the pod is still dirty from winter storage so it wasn't the right time.

	Like I said in another post.....when it comes to TVs and pulling a camper.....like money in the bank, wine and, women - more is better! HP + Torque = a good thing! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.

	Finally, a picture. Less cropped and higher quality than the one in my signature...

	On the way to the campground this evening I tried without the spring bars in the WDH, so the tongue looks a little low in the pic. Even with the solid suspension it porpoised more than I wanted and was a bit hard on some bumps, so I'm going to try with the spring bars on the way home.
