Chuck,
Thanks for the reply. I have not yet looked at Dodge but I did get their 2002 towing booklet for salesman training. Your comments (from an actual equipment user) are valued more than the advise of young and possible inexperienced sales people. I cannot financially afford to make a bad decision. I am already looking at trucks as an alternative. The SUV does have appeal to me but carrying an Onan that could start an A/C package is an idea I am entertaining as well. Somewhat disabled, I can no longer tolerate extreme heat as I did in the engine rooms of the submarine and aircraft carrier so it would be a great relief to start up an A/C package at least for a limited time. It would also be more convenient than getting in the vehicle and running the A/C especially after I push myself to the point of collapse when chasing trout or back country hiking.
Again, thanks Chuck for the valued response.
I am very happy that I found this forum. It is a wonderful asset. I already wonder what I internet service is available to the RV. I have seen advertising for RV Parks that claim " modem friendly" but do not yet know the implications.
