Looking for full-time couples opinions 🫂🤮😱🤗
rich.dev replied to Bikerabbi's topic in General Discussion
The Touareg diesel is actually a very capable tow VH, and very underrated by folks who have never owned one or towed with one. I do agree with you 100% about cargo weight, that is definitely the limiting factor for us. For full timing we can probably also say the Ollie is too small, it’s all about making compromises, definitely downsizing and keeping an eye on the cargo capacity. -
We also have a 2016 VW Touareg diesel, one of the best VHs we’ve ever owned and it’s a wonderful very capable tow vehicle. We towed a 2016 AS 26U with twin beds for almost 3 years, it towed like a champ (and stopping), only issue is cargo capacity, at 1180lb you have to watch what you pack. We now own a 2023 LEII and fully packed weighs approx. 6000lb with a tongue weight of 610lb. No issues so towing it or stopping. Fuel consumption towing our Ollie from Hohenwald to Guelph ON (Canada) was just shy of 16mpg. The Touareg is a great towing vehicle AND daily driver. Again, the limiting factor is payload/cargo capacity.

Update...…I reached out to Avi, owner of Trailersphere (maker of the Barker jack cover) about the issue of me not being able to order the cover from Canada. He said it could be because it's being shipped directly from him and not Amazon warehouse, and that he would send some inventory to them that will allow purchase from Amazon. That was on Monday, so yesterday I was able to place my order! 😁

@topgun2 I know it’s been a few years since this post, but do you maybe have a link for this mod? I searched the forum but no luck! I also want to blacken out the MaxxAir Fan cover.

Yes very odd, maybe because I'm in Canada!

Thanks, do you know the location of this new bus bar? As far as I know, there is the positive bus bar under the driver side bed, and the negative bus bar upfront under the rear dinette seat. -
