You could be right steve but I'll never haul 6k on a trailer behind it again.
Jeeper or just unlucky? Nah! But I'd rather not say in public.[/QUOTE]
Just whisper that way only I can read it. :lol:

The 760 you can get with a back up camera which would help us. Decisions decisions...

Got it yesterday! A gift from dear son!
It's a Crazy Great GPS and HD dash cam all in one. Also warns if you are following too close, wandering tween the lines, etc

Suddenly, there was a hail storm with stones the size of beef fillets, and one the size of Sena, and "CRASH" one that looked like Curious George.
And just in the nick of time, Ed simply.....

Not that I would ever trade Smarty off. She's ours for life. Just curious. Talk about cherry -- my 2012 has only 13,500 miles on the odometer. Another 20K on the tires, but those don't count against us. And her tiny little shoes are cheap to replace.

We kept the base plate.... They were not interested in it.
Larry was goona take it off, since he put it on, but they ended up taking it off for us...
Which was what we wanted, since we will be putting it on AuJeep....
Or lol, he will be... I can wipe his brow and hand him tools....
And Mel, when we drive like that, to wherever, we usually overnight in a parking lot or truck stop.. No hooking up or unhooking..
And maybe it is longer than 2 days... I am not good with numbers,

The back is improving... the rain has stopped and the wind calmed down.
We head for Sioux Falls tomorrow. Gonna stay at Yogis for week - while we get an idea on how long the car will be in the shop. The shop says they have room for and do occasionally do work on RVs. So we shall see what they say about Bonita. We'll play it by ear.

Barb, when I sold my 2007 Saturn I listed it in the iRV2 classified and it sold the next day. Having the tow package on the car can help someone with an RV, if even for a temporary time while until they decide on a different or newer vehicle. As far as the dealers go, any accessories added do not necessarily mean an increase in book price. Only through a private buyer would you gain an advantage. Most dealers will take off the base plate. If they are in a community of lots of RV, it may be possible to sell it as it but in most cases it comes off.

Hmmm might have to stop and get some... that looks less expensive than Tinkyada which is my go to brand... ( I'd like to learn to make my own, but most recipes call for strange stuff I've never played with like xanthen gum, etc.)
