Towing A Vehicle Or Trailer - Fleetwood Flair 2001 Owner's Manual

When you use your motor home to tow, remember that you
must stop the towed load with your motor home's brakes.
This is critical on hills and in the mountains where you may
encounter sharp curves and possibly irregular road surfaces.
Check your motor home Chassis Operator's/Owner's
Guide/Manual for the maximum weight your motor home
can pull and stop on both level and steep roads. If the
Chassis Operator's/Owner's Guide/Manual does not
provide information on towing weight limits, do not tow a
load of more than 1000 pounds unless the towed unit has a
properly installed and operating supplement brake control
system that operates with the brakes on your motor home.
The supplemental brakes will NOT allow you to tow more
than the listed GCWR for your motor home. If you cannot
stop, you will crash.
You must not exceed the tire capacities or the weight factors
listed below if you expect to tow something behind your
motor home, either with or without a dolly. The factors are:
»
GCWR - Gross Combined Weight Rating
»
GTW - Gross Towed Weight
»
MTW - Maximum Tongue Weight
»
GA WR - Gross Axle Weight Rating
The ratings for the above factors are all listed on the
Cargo Carrying Capacity label posted inside the
motor home.
