Pump vs disconnect

Thanks for the backup, BUMPY. Wife and I KNEW a motorhome was in our future quite a few months before we bought one. (I mean, is the purchase of a motorhome an "impulse buy"?) At the same time, we asked the question "tow or rent?" We decided on "tow". Our car, at that time was old and not on any list to "toad", so we went out for a "toad" 4-down vehicle. Used or new...didn't matter. So, in 2000, we ended up with a 1996 Ford Contour 5 spd stick. That was our first "toad" and was just fine. In the years since, after RESEARCHING a vehicle that would double as a dailey driver AND "toad", the Contour is gone and we now tow a 2007 Chevy HHR automatic...and a 2011 Ford Ranger auto,4WD.
The HHR...pull a fuse and off y'go. The Ranger, a bit more involved, but "toads" just fine. So far, both have gone coast to coast and back no problems.
