Hi,
Having towed a caravan in the UK for 25 years, I quite like the idea of doing do in the US next august for a couple of weeks around lake Michigan. I've done the RV and found it quite come training when going into towns. Does anyone know of any companies who hire vehicle/trailer combo's around Chicago or even just the tow vehicle so I could sort out the trailer myself? Please help. I didn't find the right solution from the Internet. References: https://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowTopic-g1-i12...Road_Trips.html Bitcoin Payment Advertising Thanks |

I know they allow towing with their larger trucks, but have never towed with their small rental vehicles. I suspect that is a pricey way to go however. Have you considered renting a small motor home (can't recall what you call them i the UK) from an agency like Cruise America? There are many different agencies that do that. |

Try to rent a motorhome/Caravan from agency like Cruise America. You can always use that to tow whatever you want to tow
