    Sorry...I'm not very good at doing searches...We decided to get a Little Guy 5 wide and we will use the Prius (2010). I am a very careful towing guy, and I know that any success I have in towing this camper will require very conservative operation. I have read about some sort of electronic monitor that I should get to keep tabs on temps. What is that item? And what else should I be thinking about? Thanks, John.

    Scangauge 2. Autozone has one of the best internet prices around ($119.9X + free shipping), use coupon code DOW40. If you miss out on that one (expires 10/5/13), then try DOW41. ;)

    Here's a suggestion on what should be monitored (inverter coolant, MG1 & MG2 temps):

    The whole thread is a discussion on towing with the Prius.
