I'd really like to see one. It looks like a good idea for people with smaller tow vehicles.

One more thought for you, have you considered who would handle the dump station?(probably loaded with diseases) I can't imagine how you would get your wife to do that, I know my wife would stop camping if I told her she had to do that. Anyway, I hope you find a way, alot of great times to be had. Best of luck.

Spoke with the wife about the dump station she had 2 answers if she has to do it she will she also has a roll of 50 dollar bills she can pass out for help ... but really after things she has done for me in the bad times I don't think it would bother her to much neither would finding a knowlagable guy around the camp sight and pass out a 50 its how I have had alot of things done for me in the past 3 years during periods of time when i was unable to do things (witch isn't always I worked and was in remission for 1.5 of those 3 years and I will tell you my wife. Would say hey can I toss you a 50 to do this and the guys says uhhh yeah sure then he sees me in the car asks why I didn't just do it she would say I had leukimea and couldent at thay time a good 85% of the people would offer the cash back I will always make them take it as. Long as they don't argue to much some folks have a friend or family meber who passed and really don't want to be paid ect.... but there are still great people out there who will help us out all the time GOD is great and I live in new england where the unfreindly folks are supposed to be so I should be fine I paid it fowared for many years I would like to think and I sometimes get it back

Sounds like you have a real fine lady looking after you, good for you. If you make it to Michigan I'll do it for free or maybe a good beer.

I tow a 3O ft R-Vision BH TT(dry weight 4600lbs) with my 2005 4x4 Liberty diesel. I have towed my TT from Charlotte NC to St. Louis MO to Flagstaff AZ to Dallas TX then back to Charlotte with my family of 5 in the Jeep (5,000+ miles). Over the past two years we have towed the TT over 10,000 miles with the Jeep and never a problem. I would recommend using a good sway control setup. I tried a friction sway control at first but the long trailer and short wheel base this setup still allowed too much sway and jerked the Jeep around on highways. I switched to a Hensley Arrow setup and have no issues towing the long trailer with the Jeep Liberty.
