Towing Your Vehicle

Consult your dealer or a professional towing
service if you need to have your disabled vehicle
towed. See Roadside Assistance Program on

vehicle for recreational purposes (such as behind
a motorhome), see "Recreational Vehicle

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").
