Howdy Campers!
So I have a mini van that I want to tow behind the precept. I am very familiar with towing a minivan as I helped my friend set it up for his RV. We installed the base plate, got the wiring done and then installed the brake buddy.
Although I like this Toad setup (i.e. fast and easy to setup), I think it adds a lot of wear and tear on the mini van. We had to 'cycle' the vehicle every 100 miles and I think the vehicle transmission was going through a lot.
I have also towed (the same mini van) with a tow dolly. Although it was a 20 min & 2 person job to put it on the tow dolly and then take it off, I do not think that it added as much to the wear and tear on the car as the toad configuration.
What are your thoughts on it? I have a 2007 Honda Odyssey that I do not want to give up, but would love to tow it behind my vehicle every now and then.
Cheers!
