do not agree with Flying J . I have found that most Flying J outlets have hiegher priced gas by 3-8 cents per gallon.
Ron Brown
:
I tow a Jeep wrangler 05 with a Four Winds 34N I use a Blue Ox tow & brake system never had any thing go wrong.... Really good
Joelsr
:
I can't agree with your statement on Jeep. I tow a Jeep Wrangler Sahara w/o any problems. Just put 4WD in neutral and get on the road.
Ron
:
Flying J may love to have RV's use their services, but a one cent a gallon discount for diesel is more of an insult than an incentive. WalMart has been RV friendly for years and they didn't make the list.
John A
:
I agree with many of these - Flying J, Subway and PetsMart - but not Jeep. Not a good tow vehicle in my experience. Prefer the Honda. Camping World agree, but don't really know of others (?)
