Towing

Day trips or even a trip to the grocery store are much easier than trying to find suitable parking for a 'Bird. I still don't follow the logic of towing a fifth wheel with an 8 mpg dually and then having to shepherd a gas guzzler thru traffic just to score some grub. But, I'm preaching to the choir here! Most states don't require auxilliary brakes on trailers or towed vehicles under 3,000#. Your state may be one of the few that has a lower limit. Check with your insurance agent and your local DMV or State Highway Patrol to verify your states requirements. Happy towing!
