[ROVERNET - UK] 3500S Pulling TC

[Brooks]

I used to be an agent for U-Haul...and indeed it would be hard to rent a 
hauler for this use...they usually won't rent to you unless they can find 
the make and model in their book...and I assure you ...they won't. However 
if you are able to rent one...the combined weight is too great for that 
3500S ...those trailers are very heavy and with the tc...i suspect it will 
well exceed the Rover rating...also the next thing to keep in mind is the 
hitch class required...

   I considered towing my 3500S as well...behind a motorhome...however I was 
going to use a dolly and disconect the drive shaft. I know there is a 
product on the market that can be fitted to the drive shaft that can serve 
as a lock in/out for the driveshaft...if you really wanted to go to that 
extent.
