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 Towing"

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 know as a "dolly").
With the proper preparation and equipment, many
vehicles can be towed in these ways. See "Dinghy
Towing" and "Dolly Towing," following.
