Did you call some RV dealers? I think some of them may rent tow dollys. Or RV rental places, they might have them as well.

I thought you can sell alcohol in a dry county as long as it’s a private club. I knew of a dry county in North Carolina and there were clubs and you had to get a $10 a year membership.

Thank you Gary, yes it was certainly an eye opener. I think I’m going to get the fronts replaced. I think it just sat too long in the hot sun.

Ford dealer did a diagnostic check on it today. Said that the vibration is within normal limits. Nothing they could do, he said I could try new tires but doubts it would improve much.

Vibration in the steering wheel

Does anyone else have vibration in the steering wheel?

I’ve had it at 3 different tire stores and they all balanced the tires. So it’s clearly not a balancing issue.

What’s the curb weight of your Edge? You might be ok with a regular tow dolly, or if you can flat tow I would go with that option. I’ve heard the flat tow is an easy hookup compared to a tow dolly.

Should we buy?

We are looking at purchasing a 2017 or 2018 Thor ACE 30.2. We wanted to know if you like or dislike yours. It would be our first Class A. We currently have a Class B. Thank you.
