Need advice please
(Preview)
I have a Sunliner Switch motorhome and want to tow a small car behind. I was thinking of an A frame either Ready Brute or Hitch n' Go. Has anyone had experience with either of these. If so can you advise pros and cons. No technical talk though as I am a solo 68yr old female and new to this wonderful life style....

Throttle Controllers
(Preview)
See the Windbooster throttle controllers advertised at a pretty good price, while they are supposed to improve various throttle functions nothing is cheap if its not needed or of dubious use towing a caravan. Are these a worthwhile addition to your tug for caravan towing?
