	looks like that is the max load for the escape to tow? is that correct? if you are driving to get it, you only bring what the escape can hold, which cant be much. I would be very concerned with the ability of your tow vehicle. any way to change that at this stage of your plan?

	In two days we pick up our new 2019 RP-189. Will be towing with a 2017 Ford Escape w/ tow package and load-leveling hitch. This is a down-size for us... we have traveled the lower 48 in a 34' Winni-Sightseer but this is my first experience with a towable. My wife is concerned about the "small space". I'm concerned about the Escape having the ability to adequately tow. Its going to require a lot of effort to keep our weight at 3,500#; we are accustomed to packing everything we think we might need. We will be driving from FL to Indiana to pick-up our unit and expect to travel ~2500 miles over 3 weeks on our return trip. Looking for words-of-wisdom for our shake down tour!
