Recreational Vehicle

Towing

Recreational vehicle towing means

towing the vehicle behind another

vehicle – such as behind a motor

home. The two most common types

of recreational vehicle towing are

known as dinghy towing and dolly

towing. Dinghy towing is towing the

vehicle with all four wheels on the

ground. Dolly towing is towing the

vehicle with two wheels on the

ground and two wheels up on a

device known as a dolly.

Here are some important things to

consider before recreational vehicle

towing:

.

What is the towing capacity of

the towing vehicle? Be sure to

read the tow vehicle

manufacturer's

recommendations.

.

What is the distance that will be

travelled? Some vehicles have

restrictions on how far and how

long they can tow.

.

Is the proper towing equipment

going to be used? See your

dealer or trailering professional

for additional advice and

equipment recommendations.

.

Is the vehicle ready to be

towed? Just as preparing the

vehicle for a long trip, make sure

the vehicle is prepared to be

towed.

Dinghy Towing

Front-wheel‐drive and

all-wheel-drive vehicles may be

dinghy towed from the front. These

vehicles can also be towed by

placing them on a platform trailer

with all four wheels off of the

ground. For other towing options,

see “Dolly Towing” following in this

section.

For vehicles being dinghy towed,

the vehicle should be run at the

beginning of each day and at each

RV fuel stop for about five minutes.

This will ensure proper lubrication of

transmission components.

To tow the vehicle from the front

with all four wheels on the ground:

1. Position the vehicle that will be

towed and secure it to the

towing vehicle.

2. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN.

3. Shift the transmission to

N (Neutral).

4. Turn the ignition key to ACC/

ACCESSORY.

5. Turn all accessories off.
