I think too, than you Rideair :)

Do you think a 80's Jeep Cherokee XJ type with the 4.0L is a good idea? Because I know it can tow around 7200lbs... But it's a light vehicle... No?

Cheap vintage vehicle for an AS 31'

Good morning Everybody,


For a future project, I wonder which good vintage vehicle, more than 30 years old, for towing a 31' Airstream.


Not a 34' triple axle because it's too long for me......
