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’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 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.

See “Before Leaving on a Long Trip” in the Index.

Dinghy Towing Four-Wheel-Drive Only

To tow your vehicle from the front (four-wheel-drive only),

do the following:

NOTICE:

If your vehicle is a two-wheel drive model,

do not tow it on all four wheels. If you do, your

transmission could be damaged and the damage

would not be covered by your warranty.
