OK Boys, You think you have problems. I have the same problem with a manuel ION. I am alone and IF the car is straight and IF it is on level ground, unhooking is a piece of cake. BUT, one time I fogot to put the car in gear and proceded to remove the pins, not realizing that I was on the slightest hill. WELL, with the pins out, the car decided to roll toward the RV. So, I just sat on the bumper of the RV and put my feet on the car to stop it. Since I unhook the car along the golf course, I had to wait for the next foursome to come along then very humbly begged one of the "boys" to save me. I am sure that "the little woman" was the topic of conversation at the 19th hole. And I am sure that none of "the boys" would have ever been in that situation. Especially if they had their "little woman" to help them out. If only the car had rolled in the opposite direction, I could have caught up with it and avoided the humiliation. PS, I have a special screwdriver to tap the pins out if need be. And I learned that from my husband.

Hi Newbee, Actually, I am a newbee also. Just joined last month and decided to log on today. I also had a question regarding the Banks Power Pack System. Only my question was about the proper gear to tow in. A little about me. My husband installed the Banks on our 1998 Bounder and he loved it. We traveled to the Maritimes and across the Rockies and never had a problem with power. There were times when we were able to pass deisel rigs on inclines. Well, he passed away in 2002 without showing me how to use the gearing. Sometimes when I am towing, I feel like I am in the wrong gear. So I was going to see if anyone knew the correct gear to tow in. I am not a mechanic obviously, but remembering what my husband said about the Banks, I would recommend it to anyone. He was a very smart man when it came to mechanics. I hope you get an answer to your question. And if you do, maybe you could pass some info on to me. Good luck.
