Nice IH.

Not a lot of distance between the coach and the car - seems you'd have to be careful with turns...

As a tow dolly user, I find this especially interesting.  Will be looking into it closely.  THANKS for posting!

One observation right off the bat.  I towed a lot of trailers in the oilfield with ring and pintle hookups.  Pulling a trailer (with relatively low tongue weight), that type of hitch really bangs around back there.  They were very noisy, and transmitted a lot of shock to the tow truck.  However, with the weight of the car resting on the hitch, it might not move around as much.  Something to check on...

Agree with you. Probably not a problem with the IH, but think tongue weight would be a problem on a lot of coaches.
