I didn’t get out of the shop until almost four, so please forgive me for not having the strength to unpack my computer and camera to post a proper introduction to my new tow system. 🙂

The tow setup was done by the fine folks at Horizon Lussier in Marieville. I am thrilled with the level of care and attention they provided to make sure I was properly set up. They were extremely communicative and took the time to read all the information provided by Ready Brake.

Without going into too much pictureless detail, I can see a few advantages to my new setup, notably that I don’t have to open the hood to make the electrical connection and that I don’t have to get into the RV and move ahead a little to tug on the bar to get it to engage.

I’ve decided to start dropping the toad more often to get fuel with just the motorhome and I think the new setup will lighten my workload a little.

I was told that I should, in theory, start and run the engine on the toad before towing, something I never did with my Accent, but will be doing now.

For the drive back to my mother’s, I did both highway and town driving, merged lanes, went up and down a hill, and stopped a little suddenly. I can definitely feel the truck behind me, especially when I stop after going downhill, but Miranda seems to be handling the extra weight just fine.

I’m going to wait till I speak with my insurance company before sharing how much it cost get me set up properly and legally. Let’s just say my estimates were much more accurate than theirs.

I feel very comfortable heading out tomorrow!
