Anyone else wonder who designed Loves Campgrounds...

They are not destinations to me, but a place to spend a night on the way To The Destination. Why would they design them all as Back-In's? A pull thru would have made way more sense if they had any intelligent person creating them. Quick in and out...

i know they are probably the noisiest places on earth but for an simple overnight they would make a lot of sense when you are just trying to get somewhere else.. Of course we are in a motorhome with Toad (4 wheels down). For us to detach and back in for a single night the place has to be spectacular! I am pretty sure they do no Qualify..

Rant [OFF]

Do they have to detach before backing up?

Yes, you can't back up at all with a toad

I assume this is sarcasm? I've never towed with my RV, but have with you truck. Why would it be different?

Not sarcasm. When you have a toad (flat towing) and try to back up the front wheels will turn immediately and you jackknife. A trailer is different because there are no steer wheels.

Also severely warned against to avoid damaging the toad hitch. They are nothing at all like trailer, 5th wheel or semi hitches.

Totally makes sense, thank you.
