Best type of vehicle to tow behind a motorhome
Looking for suggestions on the best type of vehicles to tow behind a motorhome. All experience shared is appreciated.

I tow a Manx dune buggy, it is only about 1,500 pounds, no top, and great in good weather, sand, and small streams! Wonderful for Quartzsite, you can hardly know it is behind the motorhome, no braking system needed.
For rainy weather, and to hold a family of 5, the 2007 Ford Edge is great, A/C, heater, and such. It is 4,200 pounds, and heavier than most want to tow. I also looked at the 7 passenger Ford Taurus X, only made for 2008, it looks like a extended Edge, with the same transmission, front WD or awd.
I also had a then new 1999 Honda CRV, and it towed great too. Seats where a little to thin in 99, but much better in later years.
I installed brake control on the Edge and Honda CRV.
Good luck!
