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 is 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 will want to make sure your vehicle is

prepared to be towed. See Before Leaving

on a Long Trip on page 227.

Dinghy Towing

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.

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with

all four wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must

be towed, you should use a dolly. See “Dolly

Towing” that follows for more information.
