I have bought my first coach, a 1989 36SP.

I know realize that I cannot tow my 02 2WD Yukon without going with a transmission disconnect.

What experiences do you have with towed vehicles. I am currently looking at a Hundayi (sp) Santa Fe, CRV, Honda Pilot and Chev 4 WD Trailerblazer. We will be traveling with a Lab and a Doberman, so we need to transport dog crates in the towed vehicle.

Any advice and guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Honda has their own transmission design. Honda automatic transmissions can be towed safely with a little knowledge and some special procedures. This makes them a favorite toad. All you need is a towbar.
I've specialized in Honda cars for over 20 years and have my own shop.

Hope this helps.

What model Honda (s) do you suggest. We just purchased a 33'FC. We are just starting to look into this. Any other info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Take a close look at Jeep Cherokee.
Easy to tow, connect and disconnect.
Should be enough room enternally for your dog boxes.

Considering what it costs to trade vehicles, it is probably cheaper to have a drive shaft disconnect installed and you get to keep your Yukon. A fair bit of weight, there are lighter vehicles, but the SP will do it. You are probably well advised to buy towed-vehicle brakes also with a breakaway, and a heavy-duty towbar such as the Roadmaster Blackhawk (8,000lbs cap.).
