Hey everyone I'm new to the motorhome life with a new to me 1999 Holiday Rambler Vacationer. The family and I are planning a shakedown cruise at the end of the month to Missouri, NC and then back to Florida. I had planned on using out 2011 Dodge Nitro 4x4 as our toad but all forums I have visited say no no no. The owners manual even says no to any form of towing. I was a mechanic for 20 years and think it can be towed. As long as the drive shaft is removed the rear wheels should spin freely so a tow dolly should work. Thoughts?

    I would look for a good used vehicle that can be towed 4 wheels down as it would be so much easier to deal with while travelling. Removing and replacing a drive shaft would be tedious as most people unhook and drive their toads often. The dolly is just another thing to deal with as well.
    Just my thoughts. Safe travels
