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:

.

Before towing the vehicle,
become familiar with the local
laws that apply to recreational
vehicle towing. These laws may
vary by region.

.

What is the towing capacity of
the towing vehicle? Be sure to
read the tow vehicle
manufacturer's
recommendations.

.

What is the distance that will be
traveled? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how
long they can tow.
