Towing Question

[mikedom1107]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, glad I found so many experts 'cause I need some advice. I'm going to be getting a medium-sized travel trailer or fifth wheel to live in (20-25 ft.) as I drive accross the country; it'll be just myself. I'm looking at suitable tow vehicles for this purpose; I'm drawn to early 70s Chevy pickups because they have simple, reliable engines, they're less expensive thn buying a new (or newer) pickup, and I find a lot of them in really good shape.

Can anyone offer some advice on the suitability of using 70s-era Chevy to haul a medium length trailer across the country? What kinds of things should I be aware of?

Thanks in advance for yur replies!
