Thanks Rasp,
I fixed it. My bad. Need to pay more attention when highlighting instead of using the tags.

...well I went in and fixed Auntie M's link and then scolle ddown and saw the RASP had beat me to it...thanks..
...Basically and at a minimum the tongue should be equal to half the width of your tow vehicle plus a couple of inches...this will keep you from jackknifing the T V into the camper body...

My 4Runner is 5'4" wide and my tongue is 36" long. Just like madjack said. About half plus a couple of inches. Works for me.
