I will be full-timing in a little over 7 months. I have not yet purchased my RV although I am leaning toward a small Class A gas rig (Winnebago Vista 26P or comparable). I own a 2011 Crown Vic and would like to tow it behind the motorhome on my travels. I've done some initial research but being a single woman, I don't believe (nor completely understand) everything I am reading. Here's what I've learned and/or am planning for:
Looks like the rig's towing capacity is sufficient for the car (capacity 5000 lbs, car weighs in at just over 4100). I plan to install a Remco drive shaft disconnect system in the car so that I can tow 4 down. I also plan to install a brake assist system. I've read that a transmission cooler on the rig is a good idea when towing (especially if any climbing is to be done). I've heard mixed reviews on the Banks systems...some saying it is imperative for extra power on gas rigs; others saying it is a waste of money. And finally, I'd like some advice on what type of tow bar set-up would be best.
Thoughts/opinions on any of this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Moved to Dinghy Towing forum from Towing.

Personally I would get another "toad". The Crown Vic would be more trouble than it is worth for full timing in my opinion. A Honda CRV/Chevy Equinox type toad is cheaper to outfit and easier to tow. Not trying to be negative, just my opinion. Good Luck!
