Adventure Buddies

We decided it would be best to tow a vehicle because we knew we wanted to park the RV and we wanted to be able to have the freedom to leave and go on adventures each day.

This was an easy decision for us because we knew that in order to leave the RV campgrounds, we had to had a vehicle.

We decided to use the tow dolly in the above picture. We even went as far as going to the Honda dealership where we purchased our van to see if it was okay to tow.

We were able to get the van hooked up and set out for our great adventure. When we pulled on the interstate, we immediately noticed that the back van tire that was on the tow dolly was smoking. When we quickly pulled over to check to see what was going on, we immediately noticed that the tire had been shredded because the tow dolly was too narrow for the van. Each time we turned hard with the RV, the tow dolly would cause the wheel base to rub up against the metal piece. Needless to say, we decided that it wasn’t the smartest idea.

What was sad was that we ended up taking the RV and tow dolly with the van hooked to it on a week trip prior to the one we were embarking on and we didn’t have this problem at all. How frustrating!

I wouldn’t recommend using a tow dolly unless you have a much lighter vehicle to pull.

We were super thankful to be able to have a vehicle even though we spent so much trouble with this trip. We were thankful to come and go as we pleased and didn’t have to call a taxi when we wanted to leave.
