I wrecked our escaPod

We are purchasing a used Nissan Frontier which has the tow package. Then we will be able to go and get the R-Pod. It has a 6000+# tow rating. I have the brake controller adapter cable on order for overnight delivery. Hopefully, we can get the R-POD here before the weekend.

I did look at a U-Haul truck that had a hitch, but the problem is that they don't come with the brake controller. That would be a big problem.

I've looked at some pickup trucks today. A diesel Ford F250, but it has some significant oil leakage problems. That was from a private seller. At Carmax in South Jordan, we looked at a Nissan Frontier with a king cab. It has a 6500 lb tow limit.  I also looked at a Chevy Avalanche, but it was older. As much as I would like a diesel vehicle, the Nissan seems like a better choice at this time. We still need to find out what will happen with our Escape. I hope to hear something more definite tomorrow. I'm trying to keep this to under $20,000.

Motor Sportsland (on State Street in Salt Lake) is where we purchased our R-pod in 2013. They're really a great dealer with a good service department. You might check out whether they could repair yours. You had mentioned Camping World, but I don't think they even sell R-pods, at least the one in Kaysville doesn't. In Green River, you might also check out Adams RV. They might be able to repair it without you having to transport it to SLC.
