Recreational Vehicle Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means towing your vehicle
behind another vehicle – such as behind a motorhome.
The two most common types of recreational vehicle
towing are known as "dinghy towing" (towing your vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground) and "dolly towing"
(towing your vehicle with two wheels on the ground
and two wheels up on a device known as a "dolly").
With the proper preparation and equipment, many
vehicles can be towed in these ways. See "Dinghy
Towing" and "Dolly Towing," following. You may also
need brakes for the vehicle being towed. See your
dealer for additional trailering information.
Here are some important things to consider before you
do recreational vehicle towing:
•
What's the trailering capacity of the towing vehicle?
Be sure you read the tow vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.
•
How far will you tow? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how long they can
be towed.
•
Do you have the proper towing equipment? See
your dealer or trailering professional for additional
advice and equipment recommendations.
•
Is your vehicle ready to be towed? Just as you
would prepare your vehicle for a long trip, you'll
want to make sure your vehicle is prepared to be
towed. See Before Leaving on a Long Trip on
page 4-28.
