^^^ Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome!

Sorry for the slow response this time -- We've been working on the Toad/Dinghy all weekend, and made some great progress. See photo below (bumper is approved for flat towing by manufacturer). Don't have the braking system set up yet, so we did not take it on the open road. But we did a quick low-speed test in a parking lot and all seemed to work well using a Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain tow bar. Next on the Toad to-do list is installing the Ready Brake system and brake lighting wiring.

Welcome and congratulations from a fellow Texan (Corpus Christi ) and also new to the world of Foretravel.
Nice coach. Seems you have done some stuff with it. Mine has had a lot done by the po, but still needs a bit more. Very complicated bit of machinery, but seems worth it.

Your coach looks pretty nice too! I like the stainless bumper and clean white sides.

We like the Corpus Christi area, and plan to head down there in September or October once the Texas heat wears off a bit - keep in touch!
