Pulling a "Toad" on a Trailer?
Has anyone tried pulling their "Toad" vehicle on a trailer? I'm talking about a Class A Gasser with the Triton V-10... The reason that I ask is that I have a Subaru Outback.. All Wheel Drive mean...

Thanks for all of the insights!
This is an expensive hobby, no matter how you go about it... Buy a trailer, simple but expensive and where do you put the trailer when you unhook -- but saves your vehicle and you can use just about any vehicle. Tow 4 down -- quick drop and hook, wear on the vehicle, buying and mounting the baseplate, finding a braking system...

I really like the trailer idea... but finding a place to put it after you unload it seems like a major hassle. My father has a PT Cruiser he is getting rid of soon. That would make a pretty cheap Toad. Though I feel like I will spend more on the braking system and baseplates than the car is worth.... I like the invisabrake.. but can't see spending that much for a car that might only last a few more years.
The ReadyBrake seems like the most efficient option.. good looking towbar with the integrated surge brake for $1325 + baseplate.
I think if I had a heavier vehicle that I might look more at "active" brake systems, but a PT Cruiser is all plastic.
And the search continues...
