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

[Harbrlife]

Rummy,
15% grade/slope it appears.
First 30 feet is the steepest, rise is 4.5 feet. The driveway then levels out to less than 8% ending at 1-2%.
Appreciate the feedback,
Bob

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!
