hattie Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Presently, till it can be sold, I have a Bus Type M/H. No problem pulling a Toad.. But we love setting up in a Campground, and not having to unhook each time we sightsee. Will the V6 Toyota satisfactorly tow a lightweight Suzki Sammy, a GEO or possibly a Glass VW Dunebuggy 4 down? A Sammy would be preferred as it has windows and a top. We are getting on in years, but might consider a MotorCycle on a Trailer..

WME Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Towing is NOT recomended... But with frame reinforcing and such like you could propably pull a 1000lb trailer including motorcycle with trailer brakes. Just a pull along and about 400lb total is it. A Car NOT, not even a little one, unless you could find an Isetta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have heard people say that they have towed a trailer with vehicles on them. Mostly light weight sprint cars and the like. The drive train and braking system are just about at their maximum with the full load of the coach and contents. Adding another couple thousand pounds pulled behind is something that you may not want to do unless you do a lot of mods such as maybe a light weight aluminum V-8 engine and appropriate trans, some over sized custom made 4 wheel disc brakes, etc. The main reason for owning one of these mini motor homes is so that you do NOT have to tug along another vehicle. A little advance planing (i.e. do your grocery shopping before you get to your camp site) and you will not have a need for a tag along. The short (17 & 18 foot) coaches are not much larger than some new SUVs and can fit in a shopping center parking lot space. I took my 17' diesel to down town Boston and was able to parallel park it in a normal space on the street (to the amazement of a small crowd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufbooth Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I like your Boston parking story, I did the same thing last year in Flagstaff AZ, I parallel parked my 21 footer in the down town area between two cars. Dennis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaya5150 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I thought about trying to pull a rail but once you look at the rear of a RV the frame is not that sturdy. I think its a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
