Went to Tom Johnson

Camping Center Marion today. First time since the Camping World buy out. It was very nice. Of course it was already nice, but they did make some huge changes to the show room, like there is no show room any more. It is now an accessory store. Laid ou...

Ford Van baseplate

I tried google for a baseplate but only 02-03 my comes up. I am buying a 2014 E250 and having it converted to 4wd so i can flat tow it. Do i have to have a baseplate built for it ? Or does one already exist. Thanks, Nick

What would you do, stay put or pull over?

I have always wondered what other people would do in this situation, or at least what the majority would do. I'll tell you up front that I would have pulled over. Here's the situation. We were returning from a short trip. The road is two lane with...

Must Motor home lights be on to tow a Jeep Cherokee?

We just purchased a 2015 Jeep Cherokee, Latitude. We took it in to have a new set of base plates installed, and to have it wired for towing behind our Winnie. The latter is, of course, already wired, and we are using our same Roadmaster Sterling tow ...
