( Sticking my nose into other people's business).......

Ok.... I may be a tad slow....... What's a "toterhome / garage" ?

Is it like a Renegade truck/ home / long trailer ?

(repeat - a tad slow?)

I chose a (well) used V10 Excursion 4x4 with a towing package, a weight distribution tow hitch .and an electric brake controller. My triple axle Manning trailer has a Hydrastar (Electric over hydraulic) system.

Had a 2wd, got stuck once, sold the truck and bought a 4wd. I don't want to rely on anybody.

Old farmer told me once about trucks....."don't send a boy to do a man's job"
