So, the past few days my wife and I took the 3051S on a shakedown trip with our new TOAD. We've been on 2 weekend camping trips with the RV, but we just finished getting everything for the TOAD.
So, we went to a super deluxe RV resort in Kerrville, TX about 65 miles from home and stayed one night in a pull thru. Next day, we drove about 30 miles to a quaint little German town, Fredricksburg, TX, for the day/night and took the TOAD into town and such.
Then today hooked everything up and drove home stopping for Gas (twice) just to test that operation out, too We were only going to stop once but the first place we stopped at was having pump problems.
That was the goal of this trip - testing the common scenarios for a big trip we have coming up.
All went very well, and we really enjoyed our little trip. It reminded us to get out and about close to home more.
The TOAD is a 2013 Fiat 500 POP (2,200 lbs light!) with a BlueOx Baseplate, BlueOx Alpha Towbar, Brake Buddy Aux Braking System. It tows great. I doubt we need the Aux Brake System but my wife said "
it's the law so we need it."
Here's the RV & TOAD
