Here are some important things to consider before
you do recreational vehicle towing:
•
What’s the towing capacity of the towing
vehicle? Be sure you read the tow vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendations.
•
How far will you tow? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how long they
can tow.
•
Do you have the proper towing equipment?
See your dealer or trailering professional
for additional advice and equipment
recommendations.
•
Is your vehicle ready to be towed? Just as
you would prepare your vehicle for a long
trip, you’ll want to make sure your vehicle is
prepared to be towed. See Before Leaving on
a Long Trip on page 418.
