Thanks, Great to hear from someone with experience in all. Tow the car 4-down or with a dolly? Preferences?

The preference is 4 down but it's contingent on your car. A lot of cars can't be towed 4 down and some even require a trailer. We had a previous Civic that had to be on a dolly and while it did work, it was a hassle. Not only getting it on the dolly (especially in the rain) but having to store the dolly, move it around at a campsite etc. Our CRV tows 4 down. I can hook it up in 5 minutes and it tracks with the MH when turning. 4 down is just so much easier. The only real downside to towing 4 down (aside from finding a car that works) is installing the baseplates. Jeeps - for example - are pretty easy, our CRV was pretty invasive and required removing the whole front bumper and drilling into the frame. I did it DIY and took about 6 hours. A shop would have been pretty expensive. Like all things RV-ing, everything is a concession.

Thinking a Jeep would be fun anyway. Maybe even a manual 🙂
