I have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Ecodiesel and it tows my ~6000lb Oliver nicely. 6800lb GVWR, 7200lb tow rating. The 5.7L Hemi has the same ratings. If you get it with the factory tow...

This. I am reminded of Practical Sailor. Although that rag isn't perfect, they do scientific-enough tests of various products and are subscription-based so not beholden to manufacturers buying ads.

While I agree with you, I wonder how much it costs to have an authorized service center fix a problem with a Honda generator. Does anybody have experience with that?

Well I don't have a pass and don't mind paying full price. It's not like I go to national parks every day or even every year. But I'd happily pay more if it meant the park being a little less of a...

For me the weight would be the #1 constraint. Sure a Honda 3000i might be quieter than a 2000i running the same loads, but I cannot easily lift a Honda 3000i (130 lbs dry) whereas a 2000i is a piece...

That sounds silly. I would be upset too. But I find it incredible that most counties here in Colorado do not allow tiny homes on any sized lot even in rural or unincorporated areas.

I'm all about being weight-conscious, at least for the camper. To that end, whiskey is much more weight- and space-efficient than beer. Black tank doesn't fill as quickly either. ;-)
