Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves

fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster

than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This

uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the

battery charged. You will need a well

-charged battery to

restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on

with your headlamps. Let the heater run for a while.

Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost

all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again

and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable

from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the

fuel as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can get

out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises

every half hour or so until help comes.

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.
