"TO tow or not to tow, that is the question"

"TO tow or not to tow, that is the question"
In the first couple of months of my Motorhome experience, seven years ago, I got
myself badly angled into the lane at a Canadian border crossing. I told them I
couldn't back up attached, and they had to close down that lane while we
unhooked the toad.

In other words, I bought into the CAN NOT back up on a Toad education.

Since then I've backed a toad many, many times. Sometimes short, sometimes 50
feet or more. My Sterling tow bar is just fine, as are the vehicles that were
pushed. It helps to understand the process and try to back on the same curve to
keep the toad steer tires from turning against the caster, but I've even backed
with toad tires fully swung sideways, slowly skidding them (on a loose surface).
Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do!
