Decisions, decisions: To TOAD or not to TOAD...

A TOAD, to an RV'er, is the vehicle, or trailer, you TOW.  A TOAD to a motor home owner is a second drive-able vehicle. We are beginning to consider whether, when the time comes to hit the road, we'll want to start with a TOAD, or try NO TOAD-ing it for a bit to see if we can do well without the expense of a second vehicle, and the hassle of towing an extra 15 or so feet behind our rear bumper (makes 50' total, the length of some tractor trailers and most buses).

Then there's the type of TOAD. Jeep Wranglers are fun but gas hogs and not great for 2 extra persons and a load of beach toys.  The cars that don't know whether they are an SUV or a tiny Van, like the Chevy Cruze, Toyota RAV, and Honda CVR are pretty cool BUT beware!  You don't want to have to haul a trailer for your TOAD if you can help it!  Many cars aren't able to be towed 'all wheels down' and require either a dolly trailer for the front wheels or a full trailer for the whole vehicle, which ends up placing one TOAD above another, which is, in our estimation, NOT an ideal situation!

So we do research, explore ideas, and continue our work to honor God through Hope Church and sell Mona's store.

Still resting in the hands of the Master!
