We haven't been at it long either and started off towing with a dolly. I towed my 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan and never knew it was back there. My only problem, and I have never figured out why, when I unloaded the van to use it when we got to our destination or returned home, the power steering pump would make a noise for about 50 to 100 miles. Normally it was about to straighten out when I loaded it back up to bring it home. I've had it checked out and no one has been able to tell me why it did what it did. I towed it with the wheels locked by the key, I even tried towing it with the wheels unlocked trying to figure it out.
I tow a Jeep Liberty and have been for a couple of years. I enjoy flat towing much more than using a dolly but you have to do what's best for you.
I'm starting to explore upgrading the Liberty to something more comfortable for me to drive. Ethel loves it but I don't enjoy driving it to far. If someone needs a 2006 Liberty 4wh drive set up to tow with about 48,000 miles on it, let me know. It's nothing fancy. It has cloth seats, A/C, CD, P/W & locks, and all the other normal factory stuff. I'm a fanatic about maintenance and it's sitting on low mileage 30" tires. It's about a medium blue in color. I live in South Louisiana.
Good luck to you!
I may have interest in your Jeep Liberty. What did you do for braking on the car, since brakes are required in most states and it reduces the stress on the RV brakes. We will be travelling from Indianapolis, IN to Austin, TX in late December. Not sure about your timing though.
