TRAILER TOWING

The motorhome fully loaded and the trailer, or towed vehicle, must not exceed the

motorhome chassis’ Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR). Do not exceed the

vehicle’s Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) or the hitch rating. The tongue weight,

the weight pushing down on the hitch, must not exceed 10% of the hitch capacity. A

separate functioning brake system is required for any towed vehicle or trailer weighing

more than 1000 lbs (450 KG) when fully loaded.

CAUTION: Consult with your selling dealer to determine the GCWR of your vehicle. Do not

assume that you can tow a vehicle which happens to be within the capacity of the hitch. It

may exceed the total GCWR of the motorhome.

WARNING: The towing vehicle’s braking system is rated for operating at GVWR, NOT at

GCWR. A separate functioning brake system is required for any towed vehicles or trailers

weighing more than 1000 lbs when fully loaded. NEVER exceed the GVWR, or the GAWR

specified on the motorhome certification label. Also NEVER exceed the weight ratings of

the trailer hitch installed on the motorhome. Failure to heed any part of this warning could

result in loss of control of the motorhome and towed vehicle or trailer and may cause an

accident and serious injury. For specific towed vehicle braking requirements, consult the

chassis owners manual that comes with this vehicle.

CAUTION: Always use safety chains between your vehicle and trailer. Cross chains under

the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning corners. Connect safety chains to vehicle

frame or hook retainers. Never attach chains to the bumper.

CAUTION: Tow bars or car dollies generally are made to travel in a forward direction only.

Most towing equipment of this type is not designed for backing. Never attempt short back

up distances with a tow bar or tow dolly. Damage to the motorhome, vehicle or towing

device will result.

Trailer packages that include high quality tow hitches are available as an option on Mandalay RVs. They are
designed to meet Class specifications for your particular vehicle.

Mandalay accepts no responsibility for damage to the chassis and other components resulting from towing
loads greater than its designated class specifications. You will also need to consider the gross combined
weight rating of your motorhome before towing a trailer or car.

Towing an object such as a boat and trailer or a car behind an RV results in added driving considerations that
you must contend with.
