[Rhodes22-list] Changes in weight distribution (towing/backing up)

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

First, define short (in feet) and incline in degrees. Do you have a four  
wheel drive? Tongue weight is down force on the hitch ball. Lateral 
measurements  might increase, but I don't see a problem. The secret would be to not 
lose  momentum on the slope. Once moving, don't stop until you have cleared 
the  incline or reached your parking position.

Hello,

I'm towing my '84 R22 with a Jeep Liberty CRD  (diesel).

Should I be concerned about change in weight distribution  when trying to
back up my new-to-me R22 when the driveway has a short  incline?

My concern is while backing up the driveway, the 2900 lb boat  will increase
tongue weight to a point that will make me loose control of  the situation.

Thanks in advance!
