Recreational Vehicle Towing
Recreational vehicle towing means towing your
vehicle behind another vehicle — such as behind a
motorhome. The two most common types of
recreational vehicle towing are known as “dinghy
towing” (towing your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground) and “dolly towing” (towing
your vehicle with two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a device known as a “dolly”).
With the proper preparation and equipment,
many vehicles can be towed in these ways.
See “Dinghy Towing” and “Dolly Towing,”
following.
Here are some important things to consider before
you do recreational vehicle towing:
•
What is 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 will want to make sure your vehicle is
prepared to be towed. See
Before Leaving
on a Long Trip on page 244 .
