Full time with two vehicles?
My wife and I are still a few years away from RVing full time but I was wondering if anybody travels with two vehicles? I have a Jeep problem. I've had Jeeps for years. Currently have a 2015 Jeep W...

Thanks for all of the replies! We do a lot of off roading in the Jeep. We go to Colorado and Utah several times a year. There is no way a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck would make it down the trails we hit. If we were full timing, we'd probably be off roading on a regular basis. I like the Razors personally and could live with that. My wife loves the Jeep though. Especially when the weather is lousy outside. Believe me, I'm fully aware of how useless my Jeep is for pretty much everything else. I've been looking at a lot of RVs lately. There are some really nice Class A motorhomes out there that would have no issue pulling the Jeep. They're super expensive though and still not as roomy as a 5er that's 1/8 the price! Every time I look at a 5er, I think about my Jeep problem. Are there 5ers out there that I could flat tow my Jeep behind? Is that even legal? Would be a LOT of weight. My Jeep is pushing 5,000 pounds with all of the armor on it.
Anyways, don't get me wrong. I get truck fever all the time. I used to have a 2002 F-250 with the 7.3L Powerstroke. I loved that truck.
Not many 5ers have a hitch that could pull 5k (never seen flat towing but might be an issue since he back will swing to the side in a turn significantly). Those are likely your more expensive 5ers and you likely need to upgrade that 200 F250 to a newer 1 ton dually...if not more...so the cost difference gets cut down quite a bit (probably still a little cheaper but not by nearly as much).
