No More!
Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 9:19 pmNo more crawling over the passenger seat to get in my big truck after work.
No more waiting 30 minutes for the person parked next to me to get off work so I can open a door to get into my big truck.
No more parking at the end of the row at the grocery store so I can load my groceries through the passenger door.
After exhaustive research over the last few months and asking a few friends (thanks Sharon!) I found a smaller vehicle to park in my teeny parking spot at work that will also easily tow my little trailer.
Its a 2012 Jeep Liberty with factory tow package which includes integrated sway control among other things. It actually has a higher tow rating than my big truck and only weighs about 400 lbs less. The place I bought it is owned by the same people that own the rv dealer I work with so they let me "test-tow" my trailer all over the sales lot with this Jeep before I bought it (all the trailers were out at the fairgrounds for the big rv show so there was lots of room to pull it around.) It did a great job! I didn't take it on the open road because I didn't have a brake controller but I am confident that it will do fine!
Anyway, just had to share the new addition to my family.

P.S. Stay tuned for a modification I did to my trailer to make camping easier (thanks Mitch!)...
