Towing a car behind your camper
What is your experience towing a car or truck behind your camper. It is worth the hassle and expense? Do you find it better than unloading your camper and driving the truck? Pro's and Con's ?

I tow a Jeep Wrangler behind our Chevy/Lance. At times I will off load the TC and use the Chevy but many of the back roads in Colorado we enjoy, the truck is just too large. I haul a Lance 845, use a Ready Brake Aux system with a Towmaster Falcon II tow bar. The combination of the tow bar and the Ready Brake length, works just fine for me. I have a 18 and a 36 (I think) inch extensions but don't use them.
It really just depends on where we are going as to towing a toad or not. We just got back from a two week trip, leaf peeping into northern Virginia, West Virginia, southern Ohio, down through Kentucky, Tennessee, both Carolinas and home without the Jeep. We kept the TC on the truck the entire trip and didn't have any problems going where ever we wanted to go.
The previous summer we towed the Jeep from Florida to Mt. Rushmore, Devils Tower, Montana to Yellowstone MP, then south to Colorado for most of the summer, then to Utah, Arizona and New Mexico before heading back to Florida. Here is the TC and tow stopped by Yellowstone Lake. Without an extension, I have plenty of room between the two vehicles.
