    2 accessories to turn VX into cross country traveling machine

    the first one you put under the VX and then second one attaches in front. These solve the problem of no bathroom, TV, microwave, bed, recliner, freezer and a big monster air horn.

    I would guess that if that RV is a diesel, its mpg is not much worse than my VX, and lb for lb, way better than the VX!!

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    Jo, I was thinking matching the RV to the VX, but then it would look like a space shuttle.
    The diesel pusher RV gets about 9 mpg towing the VX and I have gotten 12mpg on flat ground without towing. The RV weighs 30,000lbs and hauls about 6,000lbs with the trailer and VX. On a pound per mileage basis the RV wins, but it hurts like hell to fill the tank($400).
    The VX has receiver hitches front and rear for my winch and ball hitches. The trailer has a hitch on the front(naturally) and I put one on the rear. That way I can put the ball hitch on the front of the VX hook it up to the back of the trailer and push the trailer in a parking space. This allows me to use the winch on the trailer to pull the VX on the trailer so I only use one parking space like in my garage. I always try to get pull throughs at campgrounds, but sometimes that doesn't work out, so I use the VX to maneuver the trailer.
    We just took a five week trip from Florida to PA and everything worked just fine. The combination of RV and VX works. I even used the trailer when I had crawl under the VX to adjust the shift linkage after a particularly rough dirt trail.
    We hope to do trip out west next spring starting with the Moab meet.
