We work as a team :) Tnx for providing the links . Its always interesting to read the experiences of others in our field. That’s how we learn. At least me it is :)
Yes, whatever your comfortable doing. No mechanical problems in ten years of me towing it.
The rv dealer wired my plug setup but i did ask my GM dealer before having it done. Explained as , people were misplacing the fuse or forgetting it , Its just an alternate method to use.
Warranty , a valid point. Tnx for bringing it up, i forgot to mention that. Its something to think about especislly if you have no relation to your dealer.
In my case, the new car warranty would not be affected but that would depend on your relationship with your dealer.
My rv dealer hardwired my harness to my car. We figured it was one less thing to try not to forget. :B. I just coil it up and tie it securely with velcro straps. The engine hood closes just fine with the harness coiled and stored as well as when being used to tow.
At the end of the day , i prefer to leave the toad home. At 24’ , i can drive and park my rv at most places without incident. Its my DW that feels the need to have the extra 4 tires. The older i get, the less i want to do, to set up and break down is getting old. If we really have a special need for a car , i have an account with Enterprise. They deliver cars to my campsite. Its infrequent and you have to rent often to exceed the cost of a new tow setup. I keep telling myself KISS !
