Help, please, from experienced tow-ers!
My trailer is a 2,300 lb conventional travel trailer. It is a single-axle with electric brakes. I towed it well over 5,000 miles with the Mav last season, with no issues other than not-great gas mileage due to the high profile. I do have the 4K tow...
I had a night collision with a fairly small deer a little before Christmas (a rude gift). I saw it suddenly coming onto the road; slammed the brakes but was not able to slow down enough to avoid it. The road was not obviously icy, but I think I did skid a bit. It hit squarely in the front...

There's another thread out there from someone who used a 4'X2' sheet and just bolted it down into the seatbelt floor anchors. My solution took considerably longer because...
