RV transition (5er to Motorhome)

I just noticed that you said you were picking up a Ford Escape to use as your Toad. If you are planning on towing this 4 down, it will not be covered under warranty. I believe it was beginning with the 2011 or 2012 models, even though the owners manual says they can, they sent out a sheet of paper to add to the owners manual that it can not be towed 4 down. We purchased one a couple years ago and then they unwound the deal because they told us we could and then the factory said no and they wouldn't warrant it. The Escape's transmission was not changed during that year, they just changed the rules as they had problems with transmissions not standing up to the towing and were replacing transmissions. There is a number of threads on the Escape and the issues. Not trying to throw a wrench in your deal, but just letting you know.
