I got married after I bought my 2001 Destiny, and we've decided to sell it and get a slightly larger unit. It has the full Destiny package, and I've added a...
Just a quick note to verify a discussion of a week or so ago regarding troubleshooting a Dometic Refrigerator that lead to a bad connection on the Iota 12 volt...
I finally broke down and had my Subaru (manual transmission) set up for towing at Camping World. They had a sale I couldn't resist! Anyway, the technician...
I want to share some generator info that may save you all some time, trouble, and expense. We have been warned to "exercise" our generator once a month by...
My Glacier had the 4 bar flat plug installed, but I also needed the extra wires for electric brakes. If you remove that diamond plate and follow the 4-bar...
Great idea! Just remember that when you go to start your generator, you can move the start switch to the OFF position and hold it for 30 secs or so to get...
We needed to tow a light wieght utility trailer on a road trip (4000 miles). I had heard there should be a flat-4 connection for lights already on my 2003...
Anyone know where you can get the white plastic exterior trim that goes in the track around the generator door on a 1999 model. Thanks Jeff 99 Premier...
If it is that soft vinyl trim that fits into the track on the metal, it is a standard trim item that should be available at most trim shops - in a variety of...
Lenny and I recently enjoyed a trip out west where we went off-road with a friend who has a 4wd truck. We realized that we might like one day to tow a small...
Funny you should ask - I just returned from my first weekend trip towing my 4wd Subaru Forester - I got the whole RoadMaster Setup on sale at Camping World the...
FYI any 4 wheel drive vehicle, automatic or standard shift, with a separate transfer case, can be towed safely by simply shifting the transfer case into...
Dave, thanks for your response re the Forrester. I had seen your post a while back about getting your Subaru ready to be towed so I knew someone out there had...
Thanks so much, Lutz, for the towing primer. One piece of info is especially valuable - a friend with whom we often rv travel has an older Jeep that sits...
OK - gear needed First is the towbar itself - Lutz is right, if you have a rear entry Chinook, you probably want the kind that folds over to the towed vehicle...
Loretta, From my standpoint, the main argument for a toad is to be able to get around in places the R/V won't/can't go. Since you have a Concourse, these are...
Loretta, Dave has given you great advice! We tow a Honda Pilot, not because we chose it for being a Toad but because there are times we just want to have a car...
I use a roadmaster system and the Stay and Play Brake system($750 + installation). The Stay and Play can stay in the car on the floor in the back seat out of...
FYI I tow a Jeep Wrangler with an automatic. Just completed a 3800 mile trip through the West with no problems. As I stated last time I flat tow (that is all 4...
Loretta to answer your question specifically, yes. Once you are set up to tow a Jeep for example you can use the same equipment (Towbar, safety cables/chains,...
Loretta...what a wonderful response you received from your fellow chinookers...i am new to the group and i have had all the same to say as Lutz...i am a ...
Better yet buy a 4WD factory built Chinook Concourse. I can't remember the model name but they built a 4WD Baja model that retailed for about $40k more. Yes...
Lutz. can you post the photo of the trailer hitch modification you did? I thought I remembered seeing the photos once but I can't find them. Thanks Jeff 99...
I tow.because it's the cheapest insurance I can buy and a good ride home if in trouble, or a quick way to get to the store... :-) George H. Poulsen ...
I surely appreciate all the input you guys have given regarding towing. Lenny and I are still sorting thru it all. You have assured that we will make an...
George, please clarify about the "insurance" - do you mean that figuratively or literally? Is the insurance rate cheaper on a vehicle that is towed? I'm just...
You have a good point here... But my comment is meant figuratively....insurance against being left alone somewhere without wheels...ability to make a run to...
Sorry I don't have any pictures of my towing setup to post. However, next time I am hitched up I'll shoot some and post them for you. Lutz ... From:...
In the Motorhome November 2007 magazine there is an article on the Chinook. Last page.....Looking Back by Bruce Hampson. It is a look back at the beginning...
