Don't have power for a battery minder where the car is. Both ways work fine. jimRe: what am I not thinking of???Break-away switch? Most important part of any setup. jimRe: MASSACHUSETTS to Myrtle Beach SCDo yourself a favor and go out to 81. The tolls you don't pay will just about pay for your extra fuel, not to mention how much more enjoyable the trip. Been both ways. Lost a windshield thru Phila and put up with the traffic and such. Went out to 81 and down.....haven't seen 95 since. Much better way to go. jimRe: Ford Focus Titanium Hatchback standard motor.Towed my 2013 Titanium HB with Select Shift since new. Make sure you wait for the 'Transmission Ready' display. May take a few seconds as you are waiting to move two gear shafts. I, as many others, put a short cable from the Neg batt to a switch with stock cable to other side. Good small toad. For aux brakes I use a jump and carry to power them. Just started to pull my '17 Edge last week. jimRe: Estes Park / Yellowstone / Grand Teton TripWhat a great trip to take. Be ready for short overnight freeze warnings anytime after labor day. Not to worry, just be aware....enjoy. jimRe: Flat towing a 2017 Ford Fusion 2.7L, AWD w/auto trans.And then it says 2.7L awd can be.......Re: 2017 Ford Edge 4-downThanks guys... Great info on trans..thanks Bryan. Checked before purchase for 6F50. If I have learned anything over the years, it's that this year and last year may not be the same. Some times very little change. Assume nothing. Was going to use my mag lights, but looks like I shot myself in the foot. All that glass on top makes mags not work. Looks like I'll go the Hopkins kit. Todd, I use a 'jump 'N carry' 660(?) to power my RVIbrake2. Two days min, and has come in handy in camp. jim2017 Ford Edge 4-downNew toad time. V6, AWD, PB start. Battery Grd must be removed this model year. I am wondering about transmission software updates. My Focus shows 'Transmission Ready' during the set up process. New one not so. Also any info on lights, battery grd removal etc.? All info welcome. Thanx jimRe: Shore chargingDo you unplug it while you're camping ? Check batts and make your own schedule. Does your start battery also charge? if not , you may want to add a trik-l-start. jimRe: Freshwater tank during long storageTreat the water and change around 3 months. FEMA says it should be good for at least 6 months. If you happen to be on well water like we are, it's great to have 50 -80 gallons around during events like "Sandy" etc. Can't understand people who would rather drink water from a plastic bottle that may have sat in the store for over 6 months and will not drink treated water from an plastic RV tank. jim
