toad

Followed a Jayco class c towing a dark colored suv thru downtown at 6:30 am. The suv had none of its lights on, only lighting was a pair of trailer size lights stuck up on top of the suv. These were only working whenever the setup hit a large bump in the road. You could not see the suv unless...

Just got back from first trip with 2018 Colorado as toad vehicle. Sure like it better than my previous Toyota on a tow dolly. Everything went extremely well, except when putting transfer case back into 2hi. The shift back is very loud and very physically jarring/jerky. Anybody else have this...

I have a Chev Spark and GM just changed the flat tow requirements; so I now need to get 12 volts to the car from the coach. Essentially my question is what is the best way to do that? I am wondering if the tow wiring has continuous 12 Volt source I can tap into? Thanks

In another post, http://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f112/installing-a-steering-stabilizer-and-trim-unit-170436.html#post1928383 I explain how I installed a steering stabilizer on my Berk with a Freightliner chassis. In that post, I promised to discuss steering caster (or castor) and how it...

I'm having problems with tire squeal only on freeway clover leafs. It tracks fine around corners and on the highway, but will not on mountain cut backs and the clover leafs. The alignment has been checked, a better tire with stiffer sidewalls have been put on, the blue ox tow bar is level, per...

I have a 2016 2401r Forester and am going to tow a 2014 Ford Fiesta. What do I need? Is it okay to buy used? How much can I do myself as I am trying to save money but don't have a lot in the way of tools?

I gave a class C MH person a jump because their Toad battery was dead and the DIC stated "power steering issue "! This was a Chevy Equanox, will the wheels Not Turn with a Dead Battery? :confused:Youroo! !

Hi all I have a 24st citation. My previous rv was an 06 navion. I had a toad with it and I am going to pull it with this rv. Honda CRV. I ordered a new blue ox tow bar and realize there is already an electrical connection. Yeah!! The blue ox people said yes it (2015 citation) is already ready...

I have not found anybody else having this problem, but here goes: I am pulling my wife's 2016 Ford Edge behind our 2017 FR3. Brakelights and blinkers work ok but the car's taillights don't while plugged in. All lights on the RV work fine and everything works on the car while not plugged in...

I'm setting up a 2004 Jeep Wrangler to tow behind my Isata 3. I have the tow bar, braking system (Blue Ox Patriot), break away system and lights figured out. I'd like to add a wire to charge the Jeeps battery while underway. Is it that simple just to run a wire from the 12 volt aux contact on...

My wife just bought me (us Incase she reads this thread), a new Colorado 4wd to be used as our toad. I was using a dolly and a corolla previously. Any advice/information/suggestions/likes/dislikes on base plates, tow bars, breaking systems and what ever else I need to know would be greatly...

So I have each of these that I need to plug in to a 12 volt cigar plug. At least three of them at any given time. I have only one cigar plug in my 351ds in center of dash. How do you all have these mounted and where and how do you power them all? I was planning on adding extra "outlets" to plug...

I have a 2004 Jeep TJ I'm setting up to tow behind my Isata 3. I have the tow bar and brake system for it, but still need to come up with a light setup for the tail lights. What works best for you?

We are ready to go on our first trip this weekend with our Toad (2018 Chevy Colorado Zr2). The handling on our 2018 Forester 2421ms (27 foot) has improved tremendously after adding Front and Rear Hellwig sway bars, Bilstein Shocks and safe-T-plus steering stabilizer. Also had Front alignment...

We have lost juice to the brake, L signal and R signal pins. MH lights, no issue but these pins are dead. COINCIDENTALLY (?), the Kwikee steps died at the same time. We have checked ALL the fuses under the dash & in the engine compartment all are OK. Have looked at the build sheets and F...

Our Solera info states that it is rated to tow 3500 lbs. We want to tow wheels down. Any suggestions on a vehicle that would meet these criteria would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Bobjeanmax

We have a Coachmen Freelander Class C motor home and will be towing a Honda Civic on a dolly. Does anyone have a checklist for connecting and disconnecting? Don't want to miss any important steps and I find that checklists are the best easy to avoid that.

I just got done installing TIREMINDER sensors on our JEEP WRANGLER, got them all set up and someone here on site asked me a question that got me thinking... Does everyone leave the transmitter/sensors on the TOAD vehicle all the time, or do you label them and remove if you aren't going to be...

This is my first motorhome and my first towed. Just got a tow bar and now looking for brake controler for Buick Enclave. I definitely want a portable unit but can't decide between Blue Ox patriot, the patriot II or the roadmaster even brake. Does anyone have any advice, experience or pros and...

Experience with Smart Car behind Forester MB 3500 Sprinter chassis?

I saw this and thought it was to cute not to share

My Sonic has 11,000 on the odometer plus I've towed another 17,000 for a total of 28,000 miles on the tires. The Sonic tires are OEM Hankook's, treads and shape are good and they are under 'warranty' to 50,000. I usually run tires up to the warranty mileage unless they start acting up or go...

Does anyone else remember a post about a mod to the coach (the oil breather valve, I believe) to reduce or eliminate oil on the front of the Toad? I've searched this forum every which way I can think of and can't find.

Hey ya'll... As you know, conventional wisdom says don't flat tow a vehicle with an automatic transmission. Right? Well, last week I spoke with a man who was flat towing a 2017 Honda CRV. It had an automatic. Hmmm. He said that there are some vehicles which can be towed straight from the...
