On Wednesday, November 17 we took our little Ford Ranger over to the Hitch Shop in Olympia and had a Stowmaster 5000 by Roadmaster installed on the front so it can be towed behind our motorhome. Their price was $500 less than we were quoted at Camping World. We did have to wait about 10 days for them to order and receive the hitch but we're retired, right? We have more time than money. After we were hitched up, we drove back to Shelton and Phil discovered how effortless it was to pull the truck behind the Pace Arrow. The good news is he couldn't tell it was back there and the bad news is he couldn't tell it was back there. We discussed the possibility of having an aftermarket back-up camera installed because it's a bit disconcerting to not be able to see your toad. We bought a stick-on, wide angle lens for the back window of the motorhome that will have to be our eyes until we get a camera.

Great that you have your toad hooked up now and ready to roll. I agree that you need a back-up camera - - think about how many times George has backed into something! Having the camera also will give you some reassurance that the toad is still back there. Roger says pulling our toad (2003 Honda CRV) is just like having nothing behind us....and the gas mileage never seemed to be any different pulling the toad.
