I borrowed my wifes stepfather's RV...
It's a 1994 Fleetwood Tioga Montara 29Z. Ford chassis with a 460.
We're planning a trip from Maryland to South Carolina next month and would like to tow the minivan down with us so we have transportation when we get there. We have 2 year old twins and it would just be a lot easier if we had our van with the car seats, etc...
I have a 16' two axle open car trailer I use to haul a race car. But the weight of the trailer+van will exceed the towing limit of the RV by about 2000 lbs.
I don't really want to install all the stuff needed for a 4-wheels down tow on the van just for this one trip.
The next option was a tow dolly, but the more I look into one of those, the more hassle they seem to be. Renting, breakage, etc...
Plus I think the tow dolly+van will exceed the towing limit of 3500 lbs on this RV.
Should I give this all up and rent a car down there? Or can I make this work???
Thanks.
