EMERGENCY TOWING
The only safe and approved towing methods are either an
under reach wheel lift device, as installed on a minimum
3-ton tow truck chassis, or a flat bed trailer. Mosttow truck
operators willing and able to tow motor homes will be
familiar with these devices. Be prepared to give the tow
truck operator at least the following information when you
call:
length and height of motor home
Chassis manufacturer
Gross vehicle weight rating
CAUTION
Do not tow the motor home from the rear.
Towing from the rear will cause serious over-
loading of the front tires and suspension,
possibly resulting in tire or front suspension
failure. The rear frame extensions are not
designed to withstand the load imposed by
lifting from the rear.
The vehicle must be towed from the front, either on the
rear wheels (if operational) or on a heavy duty dolly, or
transported on a flat bed trailer. Consult your chassis
operator's manual.
To prepare your motor home for towing:
1. Secure any loose or protruding parts of the
disabled vehicle.
2. Secure any heavy, loose items in the interior.
