Been there, done that..

3 years ago I towed a friends '61 Single Cab (for sale now) from Chicago to
St. Louis behind my '82 Westy.  It made it, the Westy survived but I won't
do it again.  Coming home up I-39 we caught a major storm just north of
LaSalle.  The cross wind just about flipped the entire rig.  We survived it
all but the engine in the Westy was toast a few short months later.  I
can't prove that towing the Single Cab for 700 miles caused it, but the
stress couldn't have helped.
