Transmission lines keep "blowing"

I sometimes think to myself that ya'll are crazy for flat towing vehicles that require extra parts to do it safely.

Yeah, I've thought that sometimes, too.

Of course, using this logic, of worrying about any 'extra parts' needed to go camping...Given the zillions of other 'extra parts' on an RV that you don't have on a regular vehicle...You could pretty quickly talk yourself right out of owning an RV at all, and just stay in hotels (or tent camp, haha). :)

Then, when you come BACK down to reality, and realize your choices are $1000 for a lube pump to allow an existing (paid for) vehicle you already own to be flat towed, or spend 20 times that or go in debt for a new vehicle that is flat towable without modification.....Suddenly that lube pump, driveshaft disconnect or whatever seems like a very good alternative.

If nothing else, it provides a solution you can use until you'd be purchasing a new vehicle, anyway, at which time you can get one that doesnt require such.

Its just unfortunate, that in a few rare cases like mine and BJean's here, that poor or incorrect installation issues muck things up..
