I'm ready to jump into the task of towing. Our first motorhome is now going to be towing our first TOAD, a 1998 Jeep Cherokee I snagged with 25,800 miles from a dealer in Dixon that was selling it for the owner's family friend. My challenge comes from conflicting sources, one (the Manual for the tow bar) says to have the steering wheel in the locked straight ahead position, and the one I trust the most(the Jeep owners manual) say to have the steering unlocked. I tried towing both ways around my neighborhood with my Dodge Power Wagon clone and it and I both liked it best with the steering unlocked. My gut instinct is to do it unlocked, but I want to do it safely. What are your thoughts?
