Could you set up the Jeep to tow the Navion :@
I've always found it strange that someone in a 24' or 25' motor home would need a toad. :h
The toad gets us places the RV could only wish to go. Even a 25 foot RV has limitations. For instance, last weekend we were scurrying around the a beach on the Washington coast doing the Earth Day beach clean up thing. The RV would be sunk to its axles if we took it out where we were.
I totally agree. We use our Jeep for backcountry access and to get to the really great "off the beaten path" roads, many of them impassable with our View due to clearance (low tree limbs) or mediocre roads full of large rock's, potholes, deep ruts, etc. One of our most memorable back country drives was from Gunnison to Aspen over Taylor Pass in Colorado. The "road is an old mining trail that literally is driving up a creek in one section. Absolutely spectacular scenery.. And where my son caught his first fish.
The other "bucket list" road is over 12.000 ft. elevation Imogene Pass between Telluride & Ouray via the stunning Yankee Boy Basin also in Colorado. Probably the most scenic drive in all 50 states and NO WAY to do thin in our View.
Once you get a Jeep and start exploring, you'll open up another 30% of destinations, many just a few miles off the paved roads. Nothing like having the top down on our Wrangler at the beach or in the mountains. The view from out Jeep trumps the view from our View hands down.
