RV'ing in New Zealand
My wife and I leave in 2 weeks for New Zealand where we will be renting a 24' 4-berth diesel campervan (motorhome). We plan on spending a month on each island. Other than driving on the left, are there important things we need to know about Rv'ing in NZ, what tools to bring, about holiday parks, purchasing groceries, frequency of gas stations, etc.?

I've towed my FWD 2012 Prius on a Roadmaster tow dolly with no problems at all. Although the tow dolly complicates things around a campsite, and storing it in the winter, it is easy to drive the car up onto the dolly, put the vehicle in park, no emergency brake, and strap the front wheels in and go. It's best to check the straps every stop and tighten if necessary. The tow dolly has electric brakes, so no external braking system is necessary, just an electronic brake controller in the RV to adjust the braking sensitivity and response.453Views0likes0CommentsDinghy towing a Subaru
I have been towing a 2012 FWD Prius on a tow dolly behind my Class C and am looking to tow a car 4 wheels down with the expiration of my Prius lease. I am considering buying a 2015 or 2016 Subaru Forester with manual transmission and wondered if anyone has experienced any problems flat-towing a Forester. Has it been difficult attaching a baseplate and braking system to the Forester?2KViews0likes7Comments
