Hi everyone, hoping I can get some advice here.
I don't plan on living in a van , car, rv full time.. but I am seriously consider modifying my Crown Vic so it can pull a Cargo Trailer (modified to a semi stealth camper).
Crown Vic: 8 cylinder , 4.6 liter with 220k miles but the engine runs strong and the frame is in good shape /clean underneath.
Research I've done basically implies that Ford is full of ...brown goo... with their 1500 lb tow rating, especially if you beef up the rear end with better shocks and springs... I already have installed a class 3 curtis hitch, and noticed the car bottoms out too much as it's low to the ground. So my hope is that having a mechanic raise the back end with better springs will resolve that problem and also enable me to tow a cargo trailer camper. In terms of which one, I'm thinking like a Haulmark 6x12 or perhaps a little smaller (opened to suggestions?)
The curtis hitch I bought and installed from Autozone is a class 3 and supposedly designed for specifically my car.
I don't plan on ever loading up the trailer with heavy stuff, other then my basic turtle shell/ stealth camping design... a couple beds, sink, cabinets for stuff etc.
Very interested in hearing what the general consensus is. Am I insane?
