Towing
Recreational vehicle towing refers to
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:
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 tow.
The proper towing equipment.
See your dealer or trailering
professional for 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.
