Next thing we needed - Our Tow Vehicle

 We are towing a 2021 Chevy Tahoe, High Country. I know what you will say. "That is a HUGE Vehicle to tow." but we want the space to be able to take what we need and travel in style, including having the space we need to take others with us. Here are the Details of our Setup. 

1. Avail Blue Ox Tow Bar (10,000lb) rated Tow Bar. 

2. Blue Ox Base Plate specifically for our 2021 Chevy Tahoe.

3. Demco Air Force One Air Brake System. 

4. 10,000lb 2" drop/raise hitch extender. 

These components were all professionally installed on both our RV and our Tahoe. 

Our Vehicles. 

1. 2021 Chevy Tahoe High Country - GVWR 7500lbs,  Curb Weight is 6039lbs. This means that as long as I do not have a major load in my Tahoe, which we typically will have no passengers, possibly a full tank of gas (22gals @8lbs per gallon 176lbs) other fluids we estimate our load in the Tahoe to be about 500lbs to be safe, so 6539lbs to be safe)

2. 2015 Tiffin Phaeton - Tow Capacity of 10,000lbs. Which means we are well within the tow capacity of the RV and in a safe range of the towing components. 

We should be good to tow and be safe doing it.
