I have several newer coach owner friends who are "over the moon" happy with their "Stacker".
It's a "game-changer" for a number of reasons:
1. Safety and security (locked and hidden)
2. Capacity to haul extra gear and tools
3. ZERO wear & tear on "towed vehicle"
4. Less concerns about compatibility
5. Ease of carrying multiple/different vehicles
6. Able to carry other types; e.g. ATC, UTV, Motorcycle, Buggy, Golf Cart, etc.
7. ABLE TO BACK UP
8. "True" hauling experience with smoother lines, airflow, and tongue-weight (if this makes sense)
9. Reduce stress of "breakaways" from failed baseplate issues
10. NO speical procedures to enter "Neutral Tow" mode; less chance of operator-error issues
There are TWO BIG downsides:
1. PLACE TO STORE IT...whether at home or in a park
2. Time to "disconnect" is prolonged since you have to offload the vehicle, then disocnnect the trailer IF required to store off-site
As for "brands", this is a bit harder and should be based on your needs. For a triple-axle Stacker, most guys want an ATC...I guess. The other thing is, do you want a $20k custom wrap, or a $60k custom paint job?
I know of one friend who just got a fantastic deal on a used Renegade and had it wrapped to match his coach and he's 1000% never going back to a standard TOAD. If he had his choice, it would be an In Tech.
