I am just getting oriented on this message board, seems like a ton of good stuff. I have a 1986 Itasca 33 ft. class A. I have been full timing without a toad for a while now, but am thinking about getting one. I already own a '92 explorer 4x4, manual trans. and will tow it IF I CAN AFFORD the towing accessories. What system would you recomend to a budget minded guy like myself? I am just looking to get by with a safe reliable system, no bells and whistles. I am a good mechanic and would install it myself. I have looked at the break buddy and us gear's system and both seem a little rich for my blood. Also, does anyone know how much the early model Explorers weigh, and/or a good place to find out older model vehicle weights? Any recomendations for tow bars, etc would also help but I understand that we are talking about breaks here. Thanks.
