Wander to Get Lost...Get Lost in your Adventure...
Welcome to Wander to Get Lost! We’re JP, Jordana, Aurelia and Odin & we’re glad you’ve found our website! During our anniversary dinner we came to a conclusion that we needed to travel and see the country. With two kids both under 4, we decided that time is now. There could be so many ifs and buts and “it’s not the right time,” but we made the decision to buy an RV.
Fast forward to March of 2021 and we sold our house, ditched all our stuff and hit the road for Full Time RV Living for what we hope will be a lifetime of adventure and memories. We hope you will join us as we Wander To Get Lost!
Did you have the correct Blue ox tow bar? They are rated for different weights. Also was your tow bar set up level from the RV to the Jeep? It is critical that it be level / horizontal to the road not going uphill or down hill from the RV to the dingy. It doesn't look like you used a drop hitch on the RV side of the connection? That could have put the bar in a bind? I've heard it emphasized on websites selling the equipment that the tow bar be level between the RV and the Tow vehicle (dingy)
The aluminum tow bar we were using was rated for 6500 lbs. We were well under the weight limit. I also showed scaled proof of our jeep weight. My slope angle was within the allowable three inches. The spot of failure was similar to other users when I shared this amongst the forums. There is a reason why the aluminum tow bar was removed from their line up. Aluminum just fatigues and doesn't rebound like steel. I am very thankful that they sent us a new tow bar and only our vehicles were involved in the incident. IT could have been way worse and just hoping anyone out there with an aluminum tow bar will see this and think about getting rid of it. Thanks for watching.

For me the benefit is after a drive, and the Jeep is parked. Getting rid of static heat. I usually pop the hood on really hot days. You should test that.
It's held up all these years. No death wobble. The only time we had some shake on the front end was when the tires were needing replacement. Thanks for watching!
I would try one of those speed out kits to see if you can get em out. Otherwise start with a small drill bit and drill out the head. Increase bit size as needed.
If anyone is looking for a good backpack look at the LAPG Atlas 72 hour backpack. It's perfect for a trauma kit. And the inside is hook and loop compatible. Can attach velcro pouches and it works perfectly. Trust me, I been through pretty much every bag out there from the cheap ones to the $500 bags; and I was never satisfied until I found the LAPG Atlas. The front pouch is perfect for a full size IFAK/Blow out kit.
