Towing With Your Motorhome

• An auxiliary braking system may be required for control of a towed vehicle
behind the motorhome. Do not assume the braking capabilities of the
motorhome cover the towed vehicle.
• The designated hitch rating may exceed the GCWR or other towing capacity
limits of the motorhome. It is your responsibility to properly load the
motorhome, while staying within the tow ratings, GCWR, GVWR, and GAWRs of
the motorhome.
• Do not tow loads that cause the motorhome to exceed the Gross Combined
Vehicle Weight Rating (GCWR).
• Do not exceed the vertical hitch load rating (tongue weight) as listed on the hitch
label.
• Consult your owner's manual for additional information regarding towing
guidelines for this motorhome.
• Failure to comply can result in loss of vehicle control resulting in death or
serious injury.
A SEPARATE FUNCTIONING BRAKE SYSTEM IS REQUIRED FOR ANY TOWED
VEHICLES OR TRAILERS WEIGHING MORE THAN 1000 LBS WHEN FULLY LOADED.
NEVER EXCEED THE GVWR, OR THE GAWR SPECIFIED ON THE Motorhome
CERTIFICATION LABEL. Also never exceed the weight ratings of the trailer hitch
installed on the motorhome. Failure to heed any part of this warning could result
in loss of control of the motorhome and towed vehicle or trailer and may cause
an accident and serious injury. For specific towed vehicle braking requirements,
consult your chassis owner's manual.
