    Jeep Wrangler JKU tow Vehicle

    We have a 2011 Grand Cherokee 3.6. No problems here. I am not a heavy foot driver, starting, stopping or driving and after 17,000 miles of towing our 560 we have an over all mpg average of 19 mpg. My only complaint about the Grand Cherokee is the sloped forward back end, makes it hard to get...

    Storage Underfloor Storage - 560 Model

    No room for chairs. They are all the same size. Tire size. They do add a lot of storage though.

    Couch / Bunk Beds 560 Couch

    We went to buy the 550 and ordered a 560. So glad we did. We don't sit on it that much but that extra room is so nice to have.

    Locks for trailer hitch

    Re: Locks for trailer hitch - Trimax wheel locks Not much is going to stop a thief if they really want something. But most thieves are opportunistic and if they have to work at something too hard,they may just look else where.

    portable toilet

    Jenn, I don't know about the 550,have never seen the size of the storage hole. But it fits in our 560 with room to put 10-12 of the chemical bags around it. It is not an item we use on a regular basis so with it under there is is completely out of the way until we need it. We try not to put...

    -4 here last night -15 to -20 wind chill. Calling for -0 wind chills all day today. I went out to do some work in our woods yesterday after a while I realized I couldn't feel my left hand.

    Uff Da-2

    Jenn, We didn't go down to far. But stayed at Lake D'Arbonne St. Pk. Just over the Arkansas border. Very nice park and WiFi throughout if you need it. We were told all Louisiana's parks are online. We are going to Texas in a few months and then to Florida so we will check out a lot more of...

    Uff Da-2

    Jean, Glad it all worked out so well for you to sell one and find another so fast. No you better plan a trip south some time this winter. We tried to find 70 degrees last March and had to go all the way to Louisiana do so. Maybe this winter we won't have to go so far before we find it. I'm...

    How many nights a year do you spend in the trailer

    Becky and I did 102 our first year and with what we have planned for 2014 it probably will be close to that again. Everyone is different, just depends on how much each person can get out.

    102 nights our first year

    Thank you Kathy. It was sure hard to winterize it the other day. Hopefully it will be a short winter because it comes out of storage in March for a trip to Texas and across to Florida and points unknown. Another 100 nights in 2014? Hope so. I sleep better in our 560 than I do in our home...
