Best Tow Vehicle (that I can afford)?
Hello Everyone, We are brand new to RVing and need some advice. We are planning to get a small travel trailer to haul to dog shows. While I understand that diesels are best for towing, we really ca...

Thank you, Rockhill Manor, Ugh, and Brian. Yeah, I had thought about a MH, of all different varieties, in fact. I started thinking about trailers because the cost of a MH seemed prohibitive -- at first.
I also had read that some people felt it was better to have a separate tow vehicle, in case anything happened with the motor. However, I had not considered all the juggling I would have to do at dog shows, or the dilemma of not being able to leave the dogs in the tow vehicle to grab a bite to eat while on the road. We do conformation (our dogs are anything but obedient, LOL, jk), so I can see how that might present a problem when arriving at shows.
I really appreciate that food for thought because this is all stuff I hadn't thought about till now -- obviously. ;) I also appreciate the info about the 20 year loan and the tax write-off. I didn't realize that, and as much as we are at dog shows during show season, it actually would be like having a second home. Hmmm. I have a lot to think about now.
I really appreciate all of the great information I am getting here. As I told Tom, I am sure I'll be back with lots of questions before I make my final decision. It's so nice to have the input of people with a lot of experience in this realm. Thanks again! I'll keep you all posted.
