Recreational Vehicle Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means towing the vehicle
behind another vehicle

such as behind a motorhome.

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:

.

What's 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. See

Dinghy Towing

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.

The vehicle was not designed to be towed with all four
wheels on the ground. Use a dolly if the vehicle must be
towed. See
