Nothing happening with Pumpkin. It's still asleep. I am planning on getting a new trailer hitch installed right after Christmas. It has a 3500 lb hitch now but it needs a 5000 lb hitch to tow Coors. Coors is a silver Jeep Wrangler, a silver bullet. Thus the name Coors.
Looks like the new hitch will have to be custom made. I found a guy near Kissee Mills that will do it. I've got to get Pumpkin over there to see just what it will take - and cost. Once the hitch is installed, I'll order a tow bar and base plate (used to mount tow bar on Jeep). The above photo was actually taken after I installed the tow bar and base plate.
I don't plan to take Coors with us every time, but some trips like out West or to Florida would be much more fun to have some extra wheels along for touring areas without having to break camp. Joyce wasn't too keen on a towed vehicle (toad), but I think she'll like the idea once we get past the initial expense.
