Re: [DML] towing a delorean

[jtrealty@xxxx]

You are absolutly correct about tongue weight. When I first trailered 
my "D" in an enclosed trailer I had a lot of trouble with sway even 
with a hitch with sway control. I tried moving it into different 
positions foward and back but I couldn't move it foward enough. When I 
realized that most of the weight is in the back I backed it into the 
trailer and have been doing so ever since. The only drawback is that 
it isn't the easist car to back up especially into a trailer! Now I 
know why they backed it into Doc's trailer in the movie!
