My Family Jeep

I have been researching what we need to do to get the Jeep ready and how to tow it behind the RV. I was not expecting the horror stories I have come across! I’ve been reading about burnt out gearboxes, shredded tires and dead batteries just to name a few. I could care less about the battery, cheap and easy to fix or replace but the other issues are huge and costly mistakes.

We have decided that we’re going to make a checklist that we both have to check before we get ready to roll. This way the blame can not lie with just one of us as we both will have checked off the checklist and will share the blame. We are also considering just getting a trailer and saving the tires on the Jeep. We still have a couple of months to make up our minds. Does anyone have any experience or expertise they can share with us on this? This just gives me yet another thing to obsess over in the coming months.

Our family Jeep is about to get a new traveling companion, our family RV. The RV is a 32′ 1999 Georgie Boy. Since we’re not sure how we’re going to like the RV we’re starting with an affordable smaller one to ease us in. We are looking into what we need to do to tow the Jeep behind the RV and getting everything planned and set into action to pick her up in New York in May. Our good friends in Harrison that we prefer to call family are also purchasing their first RV and we will be going together to pick them up.

We are planning after the current contract to take some time off and go exploring the US with the kids. The RV will serve as a home to four and our office so we’re looking into options on setting up our mobile office. We are excited about the RV, the opportunity it gives us to travel and spend time with the kids and of course that our Jeep is the perfect car to tow. We have been looking at where we want to take the Jeep to find some real off roading, exciting times are ahead!
