Dave, would you mind sharing that scenic route so the rest of us can avoid towing it?
As for all the problems, wow, you hit the mother lode! You know, Dave, some of us spread these problems out over a period of years. But you're doing it all at once! I would think you're nearing the start of years of trouble free traveling, seeing as you've already had all the problems up front.
Maybe one little tip.... when towing, set the "avoids" on that gps to include avoiding dirt roads and u-turns!
