ghy” . Vehicle manufacturers produce towable
cars and trucks that are designed to be capable
of being towed behind a larger vehicle, such as
a motor home, with all wheels down .
Caution should be exercised when selecting a
vehicle for dinghy towing . If not, battery drain
on the electrical system could occur, the trans-
mission of the vehicle could be damaged, the
vehicle may be too heavy to pull, among other
concerns .
Before selecting the vehicle that will be towed,
consult the vehicle manufacturers instructions
to ensure the vehicle is approved by the manu-
facturer for dinghy (four wheels down) towing .
Any aftermarket products that modify the din-
ghy for towing should also be approved by the
vehicle manufacturer .
Make sure that the dinghy weight and attaching
hardware do not exceed the motor home hitch
receiver rating . Make sure that the weight of the
motor home and dinghy together; do not exceed
the gross combination weight rating (GCWR)
of the motor home . Make sure that tow bars and
hitch equipment is rated to handle the weight of
the vehicle you intend to tow .
In addition, the dinghy must be equipped with
its own independent auxiliary brake system that
is activated any time the motor home brakes are
applied .
Because of State/Province regulations, care
must be exercised when wiring the dinghy for
all lighting requirements .
Check with the DMV of your State and/or
States (and Provinces) you will be traveling
through for their requirements .

Your motor home is equipped with an electri-
cal connector, from here on referred to as a
hitch plug, which provides an electrical connec-
tion for your towed vehicle . The hitch plug is
located at the rear of the motor home near the
hitch receiver . It is a 7 position connector wired
as follows:
Please note this connector does not provide
separate positions for the two turn signals and
brake lights . This is necessary for the towed
vehicles that do not have separate amber turn
signals in addition to the red brake lights .
