I've towed an '89 and now a '98 Cherokee for a total of about 50,000 miles. It doesn't run down the battery if you turn the ignition key just until it unlocks the steering column. I'm using a Ready Brute surge brake. It's probably the least expensive and least invasive braking system avaliable. For a tow bar, I have a Roadmaster 5000. I added a track bar to the rear end of the motor home and that does a lot to minimize the car pushing the motor home around. If you take a trip to Colorado, you'll be climbing some of the passes in first gear. If you're driving up Tioga Pass from the east, it's worth unhooking the toad and driving both rigs to the summit. Folks who say "can't even tell it's back there", are flatlanders.
Thanks for the information..
As far as climbing grades, we got a few good passes in the cascades over here in the pacific NW. I'll just take my time and use the slow lane haha...
Edit: I see you are from Seattle so you are well aware :)
