Best Tow Vehicle (that I can afford)?

You would eventually, most likely, end up getting a toad to tow behind the MH. It's inevitable once you take the plunge to a MH. And like I said before, once you cross over to the dark side of having and parking in the RV lot, you will find you can get a ride with anyone that has a toad to go for whatever you need or they will bring it back for you. That's how we roll.:C

That's cool, I love that. At least a few of our kennel club members are always at every show we go to and they are totally like that, so I hear ya.

For me one of the BIG BIG pluses of towing a toad is if you break down is insurance, there is no panic mode of OMG what do I do with the dogs?

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that.

I have no problem with used MH's. Going in debt for a zoomie new MH to impress shouldn't be in the same sentence when you show which is a very expensive hobby in itself.:W

I totally agree. I've looked at quite a few nice, used MH's. In fact, some of the mid-90's ones seem pretty darned nice to me. Although I'm not sure we could get financed for anything older than 2005, which is fine, too. I figure the RV's that get traded in were probably kept in good condition. I'll have to look into it more and see what we qualify for. Right now, I'm having fun watching all the video tours of RV's for sale online. It seems to me Oregon has the best prices and I don't mind the drive. In fact, it would be fun to test drive it on the way home for our first little road trip. Not sure how soon this will be happening, as the holidays are sneaking up on us and my schoolwork is piling up to the ceiling, but I'd like to do this sooner than later with El Nino and Christmal coming soon, LOL. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for all of the great info! :)
