Here are some important things to
consider before recreational vehicle
towing:
The towing capacity of the
towing vehicle. Be sure to read
the tow vehicle manufacturer's
recommendations.
How far will the vehicle be
towed. Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how
long they can tow.
Does the vehicle have the
proper towing equipment. See
your dealer or trailering
professional for additional advice
and equipment
recommendations.
Is the vehicle ready to be towed.
Just as preparing the vehicle for
a long trip, make sure the
vehicle is prepared to be towed.
Dinghy Towing (With
Automatic Transmission)
Notice: If the vehicle is towed
with all four wheels on the
ground, the drivetrain
components could be damaged.
The repairs would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Do not
tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground.
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission should not be towed
with all four wheels on the ground.
