:D

My 6,000lbs 1110 Travelall on 119" WB was sometimes tolerable and 
sometimes downright life threatening with my 6-7k in tow.

My 6,000lbs 200 Travelette on 166" WB tows the 6-7k so well I have to 
check my mirrors to make sure the Scout is still on the trailer, and 
that the trailer is still attached.

Aside from the WB, the Travelall's curb weight probably exceeds the 
6,000lbs GVWR before I even hook the empty trailer up, while the 
Travelette's 6k curb weight still leaves another 3,000lbs of payload 
before hitting the 9,000GVWR.
