City instead of Deadwood so "Mini" won't see the hills, however,
"Sweet Pea" the Bug will.

it this way, if we had a 21 or 22 footer the strain would be about the

Dick.

Your theory sounds right to me. Install a trans
cooler before you leave and don't let the trans
kick in and out of OD. Shift down for hills and
run it in 3rd (not over 55 mph).

Keep us posted. I'm thinking about towing a Festiva
(1800 lbs) soon.
