Towing a Jeep
I am currently a TT owner and have noticed a lot of MHs towing Jeeps. I am considering a MH purchase and am trying to find out what the advantage is to having a Jeep as your toad. DW is all for owning...

We tow an 02 Wrangler. I've owned several Jeeps over time. As for towing them, it was easy to:
1. install the wiring myself to save money
2. install the tow hooks myself to save money
3. buy a good used Towmaster tow bar from Craig's List
4. tow back there, it's very light, the MH doesn't know it's there
5. park at the camp ground, short, and hard to get stuck
6. go see a lot of off-road country in it
7. take the rear seat out, have lots of storage
8. mount a bike rack on
9. do a lot of your own maintenance on
10. hook up, the bumper is at a decent height, no bending over
11. get in and out of, not some low slung car for old knees
12. see out of - it has good straight windows all around for back up
13. use the manual transfer case for towing
