i'm looking for a toad that can be hauled four wheels on the ground.
all i know now is that my toyota tacoma needs the driveshaft dropped. seems like a nuisance. thinking of getting a new used reliable vehicle that we can tow 4 wheels on the ground. preferabley a pick-up, or something where i can store fishing poles and carry two small dogs and maybe hold my bicycle when we move place to place. what is the tow weight? or how much does the rv weigh? is that what i should be concerned about? your advice, words of wisdom, and any other comments greatly appreciated! -------------------- [i]Teresa and Keith
Full-timing while remodeling restaurants around SW USA Old Rexhall we love, but looking for our new Mobile Palace We have a BIG pick-up which tows a rented auto transport to carry my Toy Pup. This information was effective until 2010, when Teresa went her own way. Don't know if Keith still owns the RV or not. Teresa ended up moving to the Rio Grande Valley in a mobile home park. THIS is the place to come from October thru April. Many RV parks, and there are so many activities all the parks offer! I can dance from 9 am to 10 pm every night, go to bingo, play shuffleboard, do crafts, play instruments in jam sessions, golf, go to the nearby town of Nuevo Progreso for cheap dental and medical and items and dancing and delicious food and no rip-offs and no gun battles by the drug cartels. weather here is amazing! Roses grow better here than in Portland, Oregon, the town of the Rose Parade. Cheap living here. many rv parks to choose from. nice people. park rent is from 250 month to 1000 month, depending on your desires. this area is a party town for active senior citizens. lotsa hospitals around here, too, to cater to the Winter Texans. Put in Rio Grande Valley in a google search, and see what happens. I suggest Weslaco, Donna, or Mercedes. The other towns are too big with crazy traffic, and not near Nuevo Progreso. Any questions, please respond to zingy4444@yahoo.com. A fan of RVing and fun retirement! |

Just for information, we just obtained an estimate from Camping World for equipment, labor for installation and the price was $4000 plus. -------------------- Butch & Kathy

That $4,000 is very high in my opinion. We used Towing Word and they put in a very good system including a Tow Bar, rewired the coach as the previous owner ripped out everything when removing his town bar, the great Toad Stop Breakng system, brackets, a sensor light on the coach dash, plus incidentals for $3,100. I figured at the time that this was about $700 more than getting one of the cheaper systems that sits in front of the drivers seats and attaches to the brake petal. Try and indepandant or call Blue Ox and get a dealer near you. Where do you reside?
