Do not exceed rated maximum capacities.
Make sure the weight of the motorhome
with the tow vehicle do not exceed the gross
combination weight rating (GCWR) of the
motorhome. Make sure that tow bars and hitch
equipment is rated for the weight of the tow
vehicle.
In addition, the tow vehicle must be
equipped with its own independent auxiliary
brake system that will activate when the brakes
on the motorhome are applied. State/Province
regulations may require additional lighting
requirements. Check with the DMV of the
State and/or States (and Provinces) you will be
traveling for any additional requirements.

Tow Plug Connection

Taillight Configuration:
Taillight wiring is classified either 2-wire or
3-wire configuration. A 2-wire configuration
has all red lens. A 3-wire configuration usually
has red and amber lens. Amber is used for turn
signals only and red for taillight and brake
light. These systems are electrically different.
When connecting a towed load with a 2-wire
system to a tow vehicle with a 3-wire system,
or vice versa, a converter box must be installed
for correct function of brake lights and turn
signals. A taillight converter is available from
auto and RV supply stores. Do not attempt
to wire a tow plug connector if unfamiliar
with these systems. A trained technician will
install the proper converter so the brake lights
and turn signals function correctly on the
motorhome and towed vehicle or trailer.
The motorhome is pre-wired from the factory
with an electrical connection for towing. The
connection is located near or on the hitch
receiver. Current draw should not exceed 10
Amps for each designated light circuit. Within
the electrical connection is a positive terminal
for use when towing a trailer equipped with
a battery. The positive terminal maintains the
charge of the trailer battery.
To Tow a Car or Trailer:
Connect a tow car or trailer to the
z
motorhome with safety chains rated for the
weight being towed.
Make the electrical connection and
z
perform a light check before starting a trip
and at each rest stop.
Check the tires frequently. A flat tire on a
z
towed vehicle cannot be detected from the
motorhome while driving. A flat tire is a
safety hazard and may result in damage to
the wheel, towed vehicle or other vehicles.
