FiveRoooooers Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) So, I can't find the thread I'd started earlier about with what to replace the current BOH (Box O'Hounds). Other than stealing Cindy's 2017 Subaru Forester with manual transmission (which, btw, I have KNOT completely taken off the table Cindy ) I'd be grateful to hear your thoughts again. Thanks!! eta, Original link found!! Keep the thoughts coming tho Edited September 18, 2020 by FiveRoooooers Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin.

If I had unlimited funds and a luxery frame of mind I'd go for a Ford Flex.

Rickiesmom Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm on my second Subaru Forester and love it. I will confess I liked the earlier design better, but the new one is bigger, so maybe better if you go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurfette Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 You need a bus, something like VW T4 or T5. When you take the back seats outs you can fit all campers inside. And Sliding doors are a great benefit, too. Plus older dogs can easily get into a bus and you can easily get in there if one of them needs help. I want a Citroen Jumpy (double sliding doors and ac under the roof) but I don't know if you have them over there. Quote Sorry for butchering the english language.

palmettobug Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 VW doesn't sell vans in the US anymore, and that's a shame. Their last one was a rebadged Chrysler Town & Country. My parents had an El Camino back in the 70s. No giant chicken in the back, tho. I believe GT'er jimsherriek has a Flex. Quote Current Crew: Gino-Gene-Eugene!

MP_the4pack Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I'm on my third 4Runner over 23 years. I wish they still came in manual like my first. What I really like about the 4Runner is that the back window rolls down. So the dogs can stick their heads out back and flirt with the drivers behind us.

Hubcitypam Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I learned to drive in a 70's ford truck with three on the tree. I was told if I mastered that I could drive any vehicle known to man. Only my first car (Oldsmoble Omega) was automatic. I actually had to special order my 2002 Protégé to get 4 on the floor. Best thing in college was that the mooching sorority sisters without wheels would ask to borrow cars. I'd smile and say "SURE,,it's manual" and they quickly faded away.
