WooHoo!!! New TV!!!
Well, not strictly "new", but new to me, a 1999 Burb! 70K miles, 5.7L, 3.73 gears, and loaded. I'm bringing it home tonight!
No, Liz hasn't seen it yet...

Congratulations on the new tow vehicle. It should handle both of your 'streams just fine.

I had a 97, same setup. Loved it, for the most part. It will do a fine job shlepping your trailers through the landscape.

That's great news Bob.  Pictures are pretty much mandatory, but you know that  .
I like the body style a lot. You will have fun with it and it will sure make towing your trailers a breeze.

Very pretty. Gosh, big enough that if showing up at home with it was not what you expected you could sleep in it - if you didn't have the keys to either of the trailers that is  .
Yep, the color of the Argy is going to have to compliment the Burb.

Hi -- Just curious... What is the size trailer you're planning to tow? I'm thinking of doing the same thing. I have the 'burb and now am looking for a trailer.
Thanks

We have 2, a Basecamp (towed OK with the van), and a 1972 20' Argosy (the van didn't like it on hills).
(edit)
Almost forgot... when Liz got home from rehearsal at about 10 last night, I tossed her the keys... SHE LOVES IT!!!

If you have 99 burb with under 100k then congratulations. I just traveled today with one of my reps that has a 99 with 350k and I was comfortable all day. Good luck.
