I for one dont see much of a problem, considering you still have a hitch that is rated probably twice as much as the rodeo weighs that is mounted to a substantial frame. Sure it might be a single point, but that weight is then transfered to both sides of the frame. Which is about what a normal, cant think of what its called right now, car towing hitch would do. Consider this on the oppositte end, the vehicle that is doing the towing, will have the same stresses applied to it. Well, the stresses wont be the same considering the frame strength and thickness may be different, but the forces will be the same. The only problem I can see is stability. If you do that, you should probably have a rigid mount that would go right in the receiver, and have the ball coupler on the other end. Im not too sure how well it would do around corners, but assuming you have mostly straight roads, I think it would work rather well. But I guess any time you flat tow something, its not too easy around corners. But like I said, the forces acting on the frame will be basically the same as if you were to flat tow it using the tow bar, now I think of the word <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />. But this is just what I think and can figure. I may be wrong, and will apreciate any correction to further enhance my knowledge on all things auto.
