Thank you for the replies. I have towed for many years with the 20' enclosed trailer with our desert toys in it, but those toys do not weigh as much as the SUV.
Now for the back story on this. We were not supposed to start this journey for 3 years. My wife was going to retire in oct. and I was going to still work as retirement scares me a little. I am worried about boredom. The owner of the company I worked for and I did not see eye to eye on some things, so we decided to part ways. Wasn't anything bad, but just some things that were making me an unhappy person. My wife and I have saved our penny's over the years and are lucky enough to be able to retire young. We leased the SUV in May when we did not know we would be doing this sooner. The SUV wasn't a retirement splurge. My wife wanted it and her lease was up on her Lexus.
So back to the current issues. We bought our C new in 06 and love it. If we like full timing after a year we will upgrade to a Class A. We may sell the SUV and get a 4 door jeep wrangle to tow.(we have had this set up in the past)I am sure I will take a little bit of a hit on the SUV, but that is life.
Now my next problem is storage. Today I am going to pull everything out of the motor home and start seeing how creative I can get over the next couple of months. I am going to be changing the cab over bed into an entertainment center, so I will be looking to add cabinets/drawer ect...
Again thank you for the replies. Now if you have any suggestions on putting 10 lbs of c.r.a.p in a 5 lb bag and stay within the weight limit then please let me know. LOL
