We did three things this year that make life a lot easier for me when it comes to towing. All three come together in one neat package.
1. Bought the Jeep Grand Cherokee so it can be flat towed and sold our Master Tow tow dolly.
2. Had the RoadMaster InvsiBrake installed in the Jeep as part of the tow package. I do not have to remove or setup a braking system whenever we tow. I can have the Jeep hooked up in under three minutes and disconnected in under 2.
3. Traded the Challenger in on the Accolade which is a Super C on a Freightliner chassis. Use the truck lanes for fueling and with 100 gallons I estimate fueling every other day.
Three individual actions that weren't planned to work together but come together in a nice cohesive package.
My wallet could not afford a stupid mistake like the damage done from backing a TOAD but it could afford the three changes we made this year.
Happy towing and I am in the never, never, never camp. I inadvertently, in a moment of stupidity, caused an issue with my tow dolly backing about one or two feet. When I heard the metal strain I knew I made a mistake. Luckily pulling forward and a couple of tight turns got the rotating table to re-seat on the dolly. Now you know the reason why I am in the never, never, never group.
But like I always say, you can do whatever your wallet can afford. Remember the red necks famous last words "Hold my beer, watch this".
Safe travels and happy towing.
