Thanks for all input. The Nissan Murano isn't the ideal vehicle to tow a M101a2. Currently its the cheapest solution I have for recovery. It does have bows. No tarp. I was thinking about I could add some extra weight to the back part of trailer if needed. So my towing isn't ideal, but would...

No I don't plan to create a database. My reason for creating the charging system log was to create a sheet for users with charging / alternator problems. It's an easy sheet that you may record battery and alternator readings. Trying to give back the best I can. stationjj
