Forgive me if this has been answered. We just bought a new 24 foot Solera diesel . What do you suggest we purchase as a toad? We have had several trailers but this is our first motorhome. Thanks for helping me out ..

The main reason we got a Class C is to tow our Suzuki Sidekick off roader. Just about any plans we make are for exploring off road. So, we got the 25ft Four Winds Chateau to tow the Suzuki or our Kawasaki Teryx UTV. Works out great since the shorter MH can go to just about any campground and be within length limits.

No toad for 9 yrs running. I always reserve a rental vehicle ahead at our destination and pick it up on arrival. Works for us. But good luck with your search.

I stumbled accross this web page while looking for answers to what can and can't be toad. I think it is very helpful.

I just checked the floorplan and specs of the Jamboree 23B. It's only 2.5 inches shorter (on a Ford chassis) than our Itasca Spirit 24V.

That 23B has great freshwater and greywater capacities. I wonder where a lounge chair opposite the dinette went? (We have a lounge chair opposite our dinette.)


We passed on a newer 23B amd went with an older one as it had a couch across from the dinette. We also found it in a 4WD but decided to go with the 2WD. Just could not find the lay out in a newer one we liked.

Our motorhome is one inch longer than the 8 foot bed, duel cab dulley pickup we drive often no point in pulling with them. Just park in 4 spaces at the malls.

We have towed trailers for years but are new to motorhomes. We have a 32 foot Leprechaun and bought a new Chevy Sonic. I wanted something that tows 4 down and is an automatic. We towed it on a 3000 mile trip this summer and it tracked and pulled perfectly. I installed a bypass switch so I didn't have to pull a fuse and that was money well spent.

Try no toad for a while. Rent a car at destination when and if you really need one. RV's are not allowed to park on streets in crowded cities like Boston. RV's are too tall for most parking structures. Some RV parks have city and shuttle bus service available and tour buses near tourist areas. We avoid driving in big cities where practical. When we camp at remote sites, we try to have everything we need so we don't usually need to run into town. Social group RV'ers usually need to tow and share rides with others riding around and seeing sites.

1st generation Jeep Liberty 2002-2007 4x4 with automatic trans weighs less than 4100 pounds. We own a 2006 4x4 auto and it tows well. Roadmaster sells a good tow bar bracket kit, fairly easy to install yourself if you are a fair shade tree mechanic. $400 for kit #521423-1. Installation instructions HERE.

The 2014 Chevy Spark with a 1.2L engine seems interesting with a curb weight of 2270-manual 2370-automatic but not sure if either version is towable.
Only the manual Spark is flat towable. The manual Toyota Echos (2000-2005) can be basic toad transportation and weigh slightly over a ton.
