I'm getting (hopefully) a tent trailer (roughly 1600lbs) this weekend. I plan on pulling it with my 1997 Pontiac Transport (that's the new model, not the long nose). The base rating for the van is 2000lbs, and 3500lbs with the towing package (which I don't have). To the best of my knowledge the towing package is only an air-suspension and tranny cooler. I could be wrong.
Now to what I need. First, I wanna change the brake pads, but this POS has ABS so I've no idea of the procedure. And I can't find a Chilton manual for this model.
Second, since I'm well under the 2000lbs base rating, should I go for the tranny cooler anyways?
Third, I'll take any and all advice anyone can give me on towing a trailer, maintaining a tent trailer, living in a tent trailer, and how the frig do you fold it up wet and still use it the next night?
Am I making a big mistake here?
