    Tow dolly

    Years ago we had a tow dolly and I recall reading somewhere or seeing a Youtube video that after securely strapping the wheels down to stop at around 50 miles to double check the tightness. I found it was not uncommon an adjustment was needed, then was good for the remainder of the trip, though...

I ask because there will be times when we will drive the motorhome without our cara and we always drive with our lights on...

    Post a joke

    A man was at a diner eating his pie when 3- rough looking biker dudes walked in. The first crushed his cigarette in the man’s pie laughed and sat down. The second spit in the nan’s glass of milk, laughed and sat down. The third turned the man’s plate over, laughed and sat with the other two...

    Toad vehicle recommendations Please...

    Others with more experience than myself will chime in. But a manual transmission vehicle is the most likely, but check the manufacturers to be sure. If you are in the market for a used and older vehicle, there are some that can be flat towed with auto transmission. This link may also be of...
