My wife and I are both RN’s and do travel nursing….living in our motor home…we would like to have 2 cars but can only towe one…..and don’t want to drive one car and the Motor Home…..I have seen a tandom tow before….truck tosing 5th wheel with boat or trayler behind the boat….is it legal to tow 2 cars behind a motor home…..or does anyone have any other suggestions….thanks…Carl
Nope, in most states it’s not legal and most MH’s have a tow-rate restriction of about 4500 lbs anyway (‘cept for maybe 2 micro’s on a trailer, but what do you do with the trailer?) You might be better off to consider a “scooter-type of vehicle”, Id make my car a truck anyway and then put the scooter in the bed. While it’s NOT a car, it’s definitely not a motorcycle either (death trap – Sorry Harley fans). And when you think about it, I bet a major part of your “other” car duties would probably be errand running that a scooter in-town would be just fine for. I played with one with baskets on the sides that handled everything I needed, for over a year in Hawaii (home of the International Bad Driver Association) , and I have to tell you, off the freeways there really was no problem (However, I wouldn’t go near one even with an UZI! – High speed is not an option) They can be parked anywhere, they’re fun and extremely ecoand they get a zillion miles per gallon. Tnink about your real usage and then go ride one if you think it might work out. I know you’ll be surprized
Dear On the Road:
I have a class B Roadtrek (‘94). The seats convert to a Queen size bed. However, when I do this conversion, it looks like I need to support the two long cushions over the aisle by using a support (In this this, a sheet of cut plywood). The instructions are not clear how to do the conversion. Can you help?
