No need for a toad is the biggest advantage.

You should be able to attach one right to a post.

Go down below your post on the website to manage attachments. Select your photo and upload it. Voila'! Photobucket held everyone's pictures for ransom a while back. We lost a ton of photos that illustrated fixes or mods. Ain't nobody got time for that crap

We have kept our car but are currently advertising our car transporter trailer, have no tow vehicle as we plan to remain on our present site for some time, however have no idea on any suitable tow vehicle other than it has to be BIG, check out the vehicle used to deliver our 5th wheeler.

Welcome from Nebraska. Lots of great info and folks here. Regarding a tow vehicle, hard to find one too big.

tow vehicle
Looks like you should have just bought the one they used to bring it to your site. Nobody would tell you it isn't big enough!
