Help finding a toad.
There was a post from Wolfpack Fan last year, he had saved the Motorhome Magazine list of towables going back to 2002. Does anyone have that list or is Wolfpack Fan still on irv2?
Thanks for the help
P.S. Looking for less complicated pre tow routine with all 4 down, preferably used.

As you will see in some of the signatures, the Honda CRV is one of the most popular toads for the very reason you mention. Simplicity.
As I understand, the 2015 models may not be towable due to a transmission change but you mention used so that is not a concern.
The CRV is a very simple vehicle to set up. If you cannot do it yourself, a good hitch shop can do the whole set up for around $1000 using all new gear.
There are some that insist on pulling fuses but if the car is set up properly with a Charge Line from the MH to the Toad battery, there is no need to pull fuses. Simply plug in, follow the instructions in the Honda Manual under Towing Behind a Motorhome and off you go.

You can go to the internet and look up "towing guide Lichtsinn motor" and it list towables from 2002 to 2014.
My personal choice is to tow a jeep 4x4..... you can put the transmission in neutral and all 4 wheels are free wheeling.

If you are looking for a less complicated, pre-tow routine with all 4 down, I am not sure what would be easier than a jeep wrangler or liberty. Those are the only toads we have been using in over 30 years of RV'ing. However, I am certain others will chime in with what works for them. Then, you simply have to choose what works best for you.

I'd look at 2005-2007 Jeep Liberties, should be able to find one still with less than 100,000. A couple of weeks ago a member of our Good Sam Club found a 2006 Liberty with 45,000 on it. Nothing wrong with the CRV's, but they cost more. Dave

On some vehicles there are two reasons for pulling fuses
1) to prevent the battery from discharging
2) to "disconnect" the odometer

Go to the FMCA.com web site and look up the towing guide it shows all years as to what is towable as per manufacturers manuals
