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 your vehicle with all four wheels on the

ground) and “dolly” (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’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/retailer 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.

Dinghy Towing

Two-Wheel Drive Vehicles

Notice: If you tow your vehicle with all

four wheels on the ground, the drivetrain

components could be damaged. The repairs

would not be covered by your warranty.

Do not tow your vehicle with all four wheels

on the ground.

Two-wheel-drive vehicles should not be

towed with all four wheels on the ground.

Two-wheel-drive transmissions have no

provisions for internal lubrication while

being towed.
