Goodbye Jeep
When we bought our new C, I sought out a Jeep Wrangler for a toad. Found a nice clean 2000 Wrangler, and I personally set it up with Invisibrake and a Curt tow bar to the steel front bumper. All worked great, and was a great vehicle to drive at our campsite / final destination.
However, with being laid off a big chunk of this year, and a daughter starting college, etc etc, I opted to sell the Wrangler and thankfully found an RV'er who needed it. All worked out great.
We owed nothing on the Wrangler, but it freed up a huge chunk of $$$ for other things. We take 1, maybe 2, big trips a year for a total of 2 or 3 weeks a year. Otherwise, we camp local and don't need the toad. So, our new plan is wife drives behind. And, one less vehicle to insure, etc. I didn't drive the Jeep other than when we camped, on a bit trip that is.
So, in about 5 years or so, I'll seek out another dinghy as my wife and I plan to do a lot more camping as we near retirement age.
