toad

Hello all, I have a 2019 Forester 3271S. I wired my wrangler up as a toad and when I connected it...nothing. I checked the round 7-pin at the back of the RV and nothing. It just occurred to me the Jack's were down and the slide was out when I was testing it. Does that matter, or should it work...

I had flat towed a 2006 Miata (2500 lbs) for a short time and then switched to flat towing a 2013 Lincoln MKZ (3900 lbs) for another couple of years. I am now considering a GMC Canyon Crew Cab at 4600 lbs. I realize the truck is rated at 10,000 lbs towing. But I do recall my horror when I...

Have had this a long time bought it for our 2005 legendary lime mustang when it was new. Car gone but the frogs [emoji196] live on. Some kooshes I bought at VA beach. Safe travels!!

Seen a lot of different vehicles as toads... this is a first. ��

We have a new Isata 5 30 FW on order and am wondering what are typical toads for actual owners. I would like to use my current full size GMC pickup but wonder if a Canyon sized truck would be better. Thoughts? Thanks

We have a 2018 Georgetown 5 31L5. When we hook up the toad, 2013 Honda CRV, the running/tail lights come on, is this normal or did RV place rewire the RV plug incorrectly when they replaced the RV plug? Did not notice this before the plug was replaced, does’t mean that they weren’t on.

Bought a 2018 Forester MBS last year with intentions of not towing anything and just using rental cars. We have decided that is such a pain so we just sold our heavy Buick and are now looking for a towable. We can tow 4,000 lbs. but I would like to keep it closer to 3,000. Any suggestions from...

As I understand it, backing up a toad is ill-advised - primarily because the toad's front wheels want to swivel in ways that can overstress the drawbar. If my understanding is correct then how does one deal with the inevitable need to advance to the rear? If my understanding is wrong, then...

We have a class C and a Jeep that we tow behind. I just noticed today when hooking up the vehicle that the lights (brakes and turn signals) on the tow vehicle do not work if the headlights are on in the RV. If the headlights are off on the RV, everything (turn signals and brakes) works fine...

What’s the best way to keep car charged while being towed (blue ox brake system)

I now have a toad someplace in the ceiling. Any idea how to get him out of the ceiling? Hard to pin point his exact location from his noise. He may be inside the bathroom wall.

OK, a new problem has arisen. All brake lights on my Toad, 2006 jeep liberty 4x4, work with the jeep key turned on. But none work with key turned off. Toad brakes work when RV brakes applied but no dash indicator light to tell me they're working, and no brake lights on toad unless key is turned...

I have searched and cannot find any mention of campers driving motorhomes without a toad. I am talking about 26' and larger "A" and "C". We are considering purchasing a 32' motorhome but don't want to toe our Prius on a toe dolly and have seen many motorhomes without a toad. Now my questions...

I'm using a Brake Buddy on my Sonic, so the ignition is in the on position while I tow. On a long trips, I often don't unhook and drive the car if we're just stopping overnight, but pull the BB back from the pedal and idle the engine 15-20 minutes. I find that after 2 days without driving...

Our first big trip (3700mi total) and I've noticed about 2000mi in that there is some uneven treadwear on the two front tires of my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. We've got a dead flat tow bar connection from the 2018 Sunseeker 3050S. The steering wheel does not lock. The tires are the BF Goodrich...

Hi all - First post here. I recently lost my wife to breast cancer. We'd RV'd in a 34' class A towing a Jeep Wrangler for 9 years. I want to continue to travel, but the Class A seems too much for me now. Considering going to a lightweight TT with GVWR of 7500# and dry weight of 5400#. Was...

I'm new to towing. I have a Blue Ox baseplate and electrical connections with a charge line to car battery. I checked and have 12 volts at battery from this line. Is this enough to maintain battery or do I need to run car every nite? Randomly, battery is dead and I have to jump. Other times it's...

Ordered everything to make my 2013 explorer towable. got the Roadmaster baseplate, light kit with diodes and umbilical cord. Picked up the tow bar (Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000) and brake system (VIP Tow><Brake) a few years ago. found it on craigslist for $300. used once for 1k miles and never...

I have a 2017 Georgetown 351DS and towing a 2010 chevy malibu with a blue ox Alpha tow bar. If I get the 8" dual hitch drop the tow bar will have about 3/4 of an in downward angle. If I get the 6" dual hitch drop I'll have about 1 an 3/4" incline on the tow bar. I can get a 7" drop but then...

Have a Coachmen Concord with Ford V10 and trying to decide on flat tow vehicle. Would like SUV or similar type for extra storage. Would appreciate suggestions. Thanks

Just installed a baseplate on our new Toad and trying to sort out lights. Previous Toad I used a homemade light bar on a bike rack. May do the same but was curious what others have done. New lots of diode based wiring. Do they work? Easy to install? Saw one switch based system (CoolTech LLC)...

Looking for input from those who have Jeep toads.. particularly lifted Jeeps with oversize tires. This is our first four down toad, as we have dolly towed an Accord before. The Jeep Cherokee we bought is a hillybilly deluxe.. it has a cheap lift and oversize tires that rub some. It has the...

Well I hope the old Proverb is wrong...Since we are taking a season off of the RV thing we decided to get the "toad" first. We will be looking for the Horse next spring. A dealer near me just got a 34KD in and I think we will go look at it, just to walk in the floor plan and check it out. I...

I tow a Toyota Corolla behind my Coachmen Prism and have a question for those with more years of experience than I have... Is there a good technique for unhooking the toad in a campsite that's not particularly level? I haven't found a way to do it because the pressure on the pins that connect...

So we just got a new Jeep and put an aftermarket bumper on that we could hook our tow bar directly up to, without having to add a base plate. My question is, is the angle of the tow bar,from the motor home to the Jeep front bumper okay ?? Or, is it excessive ?? Thanks
