Recreational Vehicle
Towing
Recreational vehicle towing
means towing the vehicle
behind another vehicle, such
as behind a motor home. The
two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are
known as dinghy towing and
dolly towing. Dinghy towing is
towing the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground. Dolly
towing is towing the vehicle
with two wheels on the
ground and two wheels up on
a device known as a dolly.
Here are some important
things to consider before
recreational vehicle towing:
Become familiar with the
local laws that apply to
recreational vehicle towing.
These laws may vary by
region.
The towing capacity of the
towing vehicle. Be sure to
read the tow vehicle
manufacturer's
recommendations.
How far the vehicle will be
towed. Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and
how long they can be towed.
The proper towing
equipment. See your dealer
or trailering professional for
Vehicle Care
additional advice and
equipment
recommendations.
If the vehicle is ready to be
towed. Just as preparing the
vehicle for a long trip, make
sure the vehicle is prepared
to be towed.
Caution
Use of a shield mounted in
front of the vehicle grille
could restrict airflow and
cause damage to the
transmission. The repairs
would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. If using a
shield, only use one that
attaches to the towing
vehicle.
