  1. Actually elk you bring up a subject I know nothing about. Would it be a mistake to buy a dolly or something that I would drive my 2 front tires of the Cherokee onto and tow it that way. Someone had told me that was not a good way to go...
  2. Yes you are right about that. The guy trying to sell the car was very excited about how great it towed....lol....
  3. Also I am not placing blame on anyone but myself but in all of the magazines that have a “2018 Tow Guide” the Jeep Cherokee is still included on the list. Maybe it should include an asterisk that includes this info so other people don’t drop 50-60 thousand dollars on something they can’t flat tow. Hopefully the harness will come out March 1 and it will also address the “death wobble” I have been reading about.
  4. Thanks Herman. I agree about the Cherokee situation. I got a little overwhelmed with the purchase of the motor home itself and did not do the proper vetting of the tow vehicle. I should have known better as the dealer was pushing it as the only vehicle he had on the lot that was 4 wheels down towable. It’s been 4 months now and we have only been “around the corner” as my wife has to follow me in the Jeep. Not what we had in mind when we decided to get the Class A.... It is beyond irritating...
  5. Again thx...you guys have been fantastic and it is greatly appreciated...
  6. I am new to Class A but went down and bought a 2018 Cherokee Trailhawk in Oct of 2017 because we were told this was a great vehicle to flat tow. As witnessed by these posts, have not been able to tow once. This has been upsetting. We have been told the harness will now be released March 1.... I was not aware I have to charge my battery. I also am not exactly the most mechanical person alive. Is there a charger you can buy? If you only go 200-300 miles a day would it be necessary? Also because of the harness issue we do not have a towing mechanism yet. We need something simple. Most people have said to go with BlueOx but then I was reading somewhere else about a RoadMaster. Does anyone have thoughts of which one would be best for a rookie? Thanks in advance!
  7. Thanks, yes I have heard to stay away from GW. Haven’t figured out how I will reach down to pay someone .75 for a toll yet either. So want to stay away from that also if possible! Anyhow, thanks again!
  8. Thank you all for your thoughts! Yes this will be a spring trip. Being the first trip, it is a little intimidating but I know you are right. Once we get cooking, all will be good! I really appreciate all of the great info.....thx...
  9. Hi, we are brand new to having a motorcoach. We currently have a Class A 37' gas Bounder. We want to go visit the grandkids and this would be our first long trip. We don't have any time restrictions. I was thinking of catching I-26 out of Charleston, up to I-77 to I-81, then taking I-84 into Hartford. This is mainly because I don't want to deal with the bridges and congestion of I-95 up in the NE, until I am more comfortable driving this thing! Anyhow, it looks like I-81 follows the Appalachians up. Does anyone have an idea if this route would work for my rookie voyage? Thanks in advance....
