How dog friendly was Key West -shops, bars, restaurants?

It was extremely dog friendly. Because it was so hot we didn't bring Hudson, but we saw lots of dogs in the shops and restaurants.

Excellent vid! Thank you this is just what I was looking for to see how compatible it would be with our 4runner! Can you elaborate on the 4R's prowess towing it? Have you been in any mountains? Do you use a WD hitch! Thx!

Towing with the 4Runner has been no issue. We've driving through the Appalachian Mountains with no issue, but we do use a WD hitch.

I like a mix of different type of campgrounds those like you've mentioned that have lots of amenities and those that are a bit slower paced/calm and relaxing.

Why is there a difference between the front and rear balancer (one, as you point out has an indentation and the other is totally flat)? And, does it matter which goes on the front, and which on the rear? Thank you.
@md.adventures

It’s doesn’t matter which one goes on the front and which goes on the back. There is a difference because this same model is used for jeeps which require that indent for the front, but for an escape travel trailer it doesn’t matter

I'm picking up an Escape 21C that's equipped with one of these units, so thank you for the 'introduction'. At the video's end, when backing into your storage space, there were no guidance marks showing on the Haloview screen. Intentional choice? A rationale for eliminating them? I was curious why that was the case.
