It proved that we were able to go traveling/camping without having to lug a big trailer around. The Suite was basically our Bed on […]
Switched to the ’18 Volvo XC60. Was looking for a bit more Tech and the Volvo delivered. I expect this one will last a while. Has latest tech and was able to install a truly hidden hitch, manufactured by Stealth Hitches Click here for hitch related images
