I can't even imagine how a 1/2 ton truck could pull a Montana, even the smallest one.

Also, be aware of "tail swing", when you are driving forward and turn right, the trailer tail also swings right.

This is an EXCELLENT point. I just about biffed the rear of our trailer last trip out turning it our pull thru site. I was worried about the front of the truck, and totally forgot about the rear of trailer!! Just about hit a parked car, that was on edge of the road, probably even in the road slightly...[/QUOTE]
I disagree about tail swing to the right on a right turn. The only way for a right tail swing is to move the hitch to the left. The fulcrum point is the wheels and the front/back always move in opposite directions.
There IS a big swing the opposite way of the turn tho. i.e. left swing on a right turn.
