Trailer vs. Towbar
#1

    There was a question on another thread about trailers so I thought I'd start a new thread since there seems to be varied needs and opinions among other MH owners.
I pulled my Jeep 4 down for years with my 35' Newell. As I moved up to the 45' MH I decided to forgo the tow bar and set up a car trailer. I found a really nice used Imperial 18' car hauler that needed some sprucing up and set it up to tow with the Newell.

Some trailers can be a hassle to set up ramps etc. but the Imperial has ramps that slide right out the back on rollers . It is very user-friendly. There have been times when it would not fit into a camping space. I unhook it in the campground staging area and re hook the trailer to the jeep. I can then take the trailer to a guest parking lot and leave it there during our stay.
We just returned from a 3 day trip to small town antique stores etc. There were several times when I had to back up to turn around or get into a tight spot with my rig. I feel that the maneuverability offered by having my car on a trailer is worth the other hassles.
I'm curious as to other thoughts!
