We are looking at upgrading our current van. Can anybody explain what are the major factors that make a van 'tow well'? Is it the tow ball weight or something else or a number of things. The weight we are looking at is between 2.5t and 3t. Larry

I have just purchase some weight distributing bars. (17.5' Jayco and Mitsubishi Triton.) They were fitted by a dealership and do make the van and ute very level.
