■ RECREATIONAL
VEHICLE TOWING
When towing your vehicle, always
follow the towing procedure listed
in this manual, or tow the vehicle
on a platform trailer with all four
wheels off the ground.
If you decide to tow your vehicle
behind another vehicle for use at
your destination, be sure to use
the proper towing equipment.
Follow all instructions that come
with the towing equipment.
The two most common methods
for recreational vehicle towing are:
• towing your vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground
• towing your vehicle with
two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a dolly
