I was thinking of towing my new Mustang GT behind my mortor home on a tow dolly. Any thoughts on this?

Shouldn't have any issues, just make sure you have REAL good rock guards behind the rear wheels of the motorhome. I tow mine once or twice a year with our motorhome but I rent a vehicle trailer(open not enclosed) instead of just using a dolly.

When you say "tow dolly" are you talking about the thing that holds only two wheels, or a carrier where you put the entire car on?

If it is just the two wheel thing, then you will want to load your rear wheels up off the ground (i.e. put it on backwards) because towing with the drive wheels on the ground is what damages the drive train.

Or raise the front wheels and remove the driveshaft

Diabolical!

Your best option is an open trailer, but if you must use the dolly, then you need to remove the driveshaft.

If you are going to do this a lot invest in a proper trailer, not like it will affect your gas mileage much in an RV anyways, 13 mpg tops? Think of it this way, if any part of the mustang is on the road, you are essentially putting unrecorded miles on the car that you can never say you enjoyed, plus tires for a trailer vs for a car are more expensive.

Diabolical, I agree with the first part of your sig, but you have to admit Top Gear is pretty funny, and somewhat informative. A much better watch than the american knock off version at least.

I've never seen the American version, but I can only imagine that if it is modeled after the British version, then it sucks *****. I find Jeremy Clarkson about as funny as a bullet to the head, and I've lost count of all the times he has got numbers and specs completely wrong while babbling on camera... But what really bugs me is the number of times I've seen him intentionally mislead his audience about the vehicles he reviews. On everything from the Mustang to the Prius, he is biased and he is wrong.

i only saw a few episodes,
one was taking 3 trucks<ford, dodge, chevy>
and doing random stunts with them.
climbing up a hill, pulling a train, tearing a house down, tearing down power lines<all abandoned>

Owell to each his own. Yes he is biased. Apologies for the hijack.

If it is a manual then your fine. With an auto four up or drive line out. I am also a RVer . Some cars with autos will work with a external tranny pump like Saturn has
