We have found it a problem with our 40 footer in the older National Parks around Mt Rainier and some places in Montana. We decided to handle that issue by purchasing a Chrysler Town & Country van with a transmission pump and equipped it with a attachable van tent from Amazon, an full size Arrow Bed mattress and a 5 gallon pail potty. It's kinda fun to get back to basics once in a while. FWIW

Kent,

We are at that decision point now; transmission pump or tow dolly.

We have a 2007 T&C (also a 2000 T&C, but the A/C needs expensive work, so will probably sell it as a fishing/hunting vehicle or a workingman's vehicle). When I looked into it earlier, it was about a coach buck for the pump and another buck to have it installed. And then we have to purchase and install a brake system.

Since you use one, what has to be done to prepare it for a trip? Any other requirements during or after the trip?

Thanks,

Trent
