toad

Those of us who have a toad/dinghy vehicle behind our motorhomes should have a brake notification light or indicator of some type, as part of our supplemental braking system. The brake notification light tells you when the brakes in your toad are activated. Many braking systems have a...

A few months back, was towing our HHR with 3010DS and passed across a bad spot on US20. The road seemed to have sunk a bit in one short stretch and we felt the coach "waller" as we when thru it, but then felt a tremendous shaking of the coach and looked in rear camera and the Toad was...

Am I missing something? I have a brake controller from when I towed a trailer to carry my Ford Explorer (all wheels up). I have sold that vehicle and now have a Jeep Cherokee that I can flat tow (all wheels down). The tow bars seem straight forward but the braking systems are not so clear. My...

I have a 2021 Isata 3 24 FW and just purchased a used toad (2015 Fiat 500 Abarth) and when I got it all hooked up I found that I have no power at the 7 pin plug on my RV. All of the exterior and interior coach lights are working on the RV and all the fuses seem good. I used a tester to check it...

I know this has been discussed many times, but I just wanted a fresh poll. I have an M2-106 coming soon, and a jeep grand Cherokee toad. Both Camping World and my local Dynamax dealer have said they recommend the Demco Duo electronic vs the Demco Air Force One air brakes. Camping World said...

I'm having problems getting my electrical connection between the motorhome and towed vehicle (Jeep Wrangler) to work properly. The MH is a 2007 Dynamax Dynaquest 340XL, with a standard 7 pin blade connector socket at the rear. My TOAD is a Jeep Wrangler JK, using an OEM wire harness that is...

I have a 2019 coachman Leprechaun 319 MB. I recently towed my 2011 mini Cooper on a two wheel dolly, when I got to my site 300 miles away I could not get the mini off of the tow dolly because the ABS brakes had locked up. had to reset the codes just to get it off the dolly any ideas would be...

So I am going to sell my 2013 Honda crv that I have been flat towing and replace with a 4x4 Ranger for the added pick up bed space. I have been using Blue Ox equipment and will keep what I have except of course for the new baseplate that will be needed. The owners manual states that the Ranger...

Hi all, So I've set my TOAD up with a Roadmaster Even Brake and of course it uses the Toad battery to run it's compressor and ancillary parts. I haven't done anything to charge the battery in the TOAD. In your real world experience, will it be necessary or does a brake system use a negligible...

I have ordered a 3011dsf and will be towing a 2014 ford focus, will I need a receiver with a drop or rise for the toad? Wondering if any of you needed to change the receiver height. The toad has a blue ox 10k tow bar and patriot braking system. Can't wait till the new rig is ready, probably end...

We have a Sunseeker 2350 Class C and are in the process of installing a Roadmaster All Terrain tow bar and base plate on our Nissan Versa. On a Class C, it doesn't seem that there's any simple way to add an extra rock guard underneath and I don't want to attach to the bumper. This leaves three...

Is there a site to sell a TOAD and equipment?

First let me say that I have a toad battery trickle charge line from the motorhome. So it's a rainy, cloudy, gloomy day here in East Texas and I was wanting to know if you travel with the toad parking lights on. Many times I turn on the parking lights in the E-450 just so I can see the dash...

We are getting a Class C and will be using our 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee as a toad. The dealer has installed the tow package on the Jeep and the brake controller is ready to go. My question is, do you have issues with keeping the toad battery charged? I assume I can tow all day and still have...

I have a 2014 Georgetown XL, and just bought a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sport to use as a toad. The Jeep has a curb weight of 3850 lbs, so it is not exactly a heavy load. I am looking at kits to attach everything - tow bar, mounting bracketry, cables, wiring, braking system, etc. There are two that...

Thinking about the Brute Elite Tow Bar for my SD 35, Ford F 550. Any experience, good or bad. Also trying to figure out the best way to attach to my Jeep for towing. Appreciate your help! Newbie.

Okay it looks like a TOAD may be in my future. I’ve read all the forums on this site and others about TOADS. I think I’ve narrowed my selection down to a Chevy Spark (Manual) But can be persuaded if the right vehicle fits the mold. My requirements I am 6’4” so headroom is a must, I want to...

Google maps says its 2 hours faster but 30 miles longer to take I90 through ND and Bozeman Montana to West Entrance vs taking I80 (or state 20) though IA and NE and coming around from the South side of park. In the RV especially driving West Bound and up hill into the wind i assume I'll be...

We like the Toyota Corollas, but are getting conflicting information on flat towing one. Specifically looking at a 2020 Corolla XSE. Does anyone have personal knowledge of their ability to be flat towed? Thanks in advance.

I’m trying to find out what folks are towing with their 351DS. THANKS

I have just picked up 2008 Dynaquest 260 ST with the 250 hp / 660 fpt Mercedes motor. Any input on how it will tow a Wrangler? Thru the Rockies? I'm downsizing from a 28' 5er with 2016 RAM 2500 Cummings and don't expect the same towing power with the 260 but wondering if it will be enough? I...

I am considering setting up my 2019 Forest River Forester with a tow kit to flat tow my 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. My Class C RV has a towing capacity of 7500 lbs and my Trailhawk weighs 4028 lbs. Anybody have any thoughts on this. I believe I should be ok to proceed with this. The Trailhawk...

We have a Sprinter and want to tow a 4,200 lb. Jeep. Any positive or negative experiences with NSA Ready Brute tow bars or the Ready Brake which is a mechanical surge brake system operating the brakes on the towed vehicle?

Long time Rver, new to dinghy towing this year. Only towed 4 times this fall. Developed a procedure check list for my toad. Once, I almost forgot to install the hitch pin so I used my label maker to attach a reminder right on the tow bar. Good thing I double checked my work. Plastic 1/2"...

I just bought a new Ford Range that I intend to use as a TOAD with my Thor Chateau 29G . I went to a couple of local RV and trailer dealers to get ideas and pricing. Beforehand, I figured I would use either a Blue Ox or Roadmaster base plate and tow bar and a built-in brake system like the...
