Consult your dealer or a
professional towing service if the
disabled vehicle must be towed.

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 ”
(towing the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground) and
“ dolly
towing ” (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 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
travelled? Some vehicles have
restrictions on how far and how
long they can tow.
. Is the proper towing equipment
going to be used? 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.
