No. no-no NO!
Northeast Alberta in the winter is NOT a fun camping destination. Its not a fun anything winter destination, really. Sure, some may say its good for snowmobiling or tobogganing; but to you, I say: HUMBUG.... I prefer to watch all you down-hill skiers from the warmth of a large fire in the chalet with a good book and good scotch.. I think this winter's read is going to be the 'pod manual.. |

Yep- true enough!
A couple years back my step-son's hockey team had an ice-fishing party as a mid-season outing. (no booze). We had trucks, ATVs, and snowmobiles out on the ice and a roaring fire going all day out on the ice. The ice was so thick, guys needed extensions for their augers! Come to think of it- it truly is the hockey moms who are the crazy ones! It's not always coffee they have in their travel cups for those early Sunday morning games!!! Anyhoo- still a winter sport in the cold. |

Leo, I have to ask: are you pulling your 179 with the Grand Caravan? and what motor does it have?

Eric,
Yes, we have the 3.6 pentastar 290 horse engine. It tows great we get 13.5 mpg in the Vermont hills and 15.5-16.5 when we get down below the mass border. We towed over into New Hampshire last trip, had no problems on the hills or mountains. Love it Leo

Thanks, Leo,
In two weeks we will be taking our 171 out for its 'maiden voyage', staying close to home to see the changing leaves. The Wrangler doesn't really like towing; it has the 3.8 with 202 hp. It'll have to get used to it, though, until next year. My wife just told me she wants to get a pickup! God love her!!! Eric |

We used to tow our 2010 171 with our 2005 Dodge Caravan with the old 3.3 with 181 horse power. We took that to Florida twice all the way down to the keys. Got 10-11 in Vermont and 12-13 below Vermont had to take a run on most hills.
The larger engine made quite a bit of difference. Good Luck Leo
