Some folks are suggesting a trailer.
Here's the downside to that equation.
Trailer is added weight to the coach. Your coach may or may not be able to handle the extra weight.
Jeeps are heavy. Mine is around 4500 lbs. Add a trailer to that. Your getting close to 7000 lbs.
Cost and storage of a trailer at home. I don't have the space personally.
Storage of a trailer while at your campsite. Most parks won't let you keep it at your site.
Cost of owning a trailer. Registration, TIRES, routine maintenance, etc.
I say tow your jeep as you have been.
These are just my observations and opinions and I am not discrediting anyone who chooses to do the opposite of me. Just consider all your options first.
