Well, not sure about a fully equipped 31' -- our rover is only rated up =
to 5000#, but suppose it could be done. Definately would invest in a =
decent hitch setup and an accessory transmission cooling system! Ours =
is a '64 22' safari (!) and is like a family member to us. They are =
the Leica of trailers I think. The black finish ones are really rare, =
though. Kpeters

Every time I talk to my wife about replacing her 16 year old 190D =
with an SUV, her only question is whether or not it'll tow an Airstream. =
We had a 31 footer for 17 years and I've been waiting for a long time =
for GM to modernize the drive train of the Suburban so I'd have a decent =
tow vehicle for a new Airstream....still waiting!

BTW, I've done a little investigating since this thing started and =
I'll concede that the current V8 engine in Land Rovers is light years =
more advanced than the original Buick engine. Maybe BMW has had some =
influence on these beauties after all:-)

Ok, to get us back on track, here's a pic of our Rover and Rig =
