We saved $10K by driving for a couple of hours today.

We test drove three tow vehicle candidates this morning: an ‘01 Chevy Crew Cab 2500 Truck, an ‘02 1500 Chevy Suburban, and an ‘03 Ford V10 Excursion.

This week we did find time to do another round of vehicle test-fitting.  We rounded out our experience with crew cab pickups from the Big Three, and tried the “big-daddy” SUV from GM - the Suburban/Tahoe platform.

I dragged the family out today for the first round of vehicle test-fitting.  While we’ve done a fair amount of looking at RV’s we hadn’t looked at tow or toad vehicles.  I had planned to do more today but it was 18 degrees when we left, and the local truck and van lot with the best selection of target vehicles wasn’t open on Saturday (which always surprises me in a retail setting) so we kept it to just one lot.

We did get into 4 vehicles today - 3 representative candidates for tow vehicles and one for a toad.  We just sat in them - it was just too cold to want to do much more.

I was reading through FOTR forum, and someone included this comment:

Good Sam has an extended warranty you can purchase for $240 a year if your RV is newer than 16 years old, so you can still get a warranty, even if you buy used.

Not sure if true… let’s investigate.
