Re: towing jeep

You won't be able to just pull off the road into a McDonald's, park in the city, etc. A better solution might be to pull a small trailer like a Casita behind the Jeep. You would have the same RV conveniences at much less cost. Good luck. It really depends on your camping style and what you want to do for activities. Sometimes I tow my Jeep, sometimes my motorcycle, sometimes I just hang my bicycle and sometimes I just take the Class B. And you'd have the same problems getting into and out of McDonald's if you were towing a trailer, even a small one, behind a small vehicle like a Jeep. BTW, even the smallest Casita is near the max towing capacity of the Jeep Wrangler and that's dry weight. You'd most likely be overloaded when you put your things on board. And the Wrangler can be very squirrely when you're towing things close to its limits. Have you ever towed with a Jeep Wrangler? I have a 17' Casita that I tow with a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and don't have any issues. Tows fine, even at 65- 70 mph on the interstate. Just my .02.306Views0likes0CommentsRe: Your Rig

The guy permantly mounted the fiver on the rear of that tractor. Looks like he extended the wheel base and secured the fiver on there. There is tandem axles in the rear but only single wheels per axle, not duals as most tractors have. It was really strange looking. This picture was taken in Marksville, LA at the Paragon Casino about a month after Hurricane Katrina and Rita.655Views0likes0Comments- 610Views0likes0Comments
