Recreational Vehicle Towing
Recreational vehicle towing refers to 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:
.
Before towing the vehicle, become
familiar with the local laws that apply to
recreational vehicle towing. These laws
may vary by region.
.
The towing capacity of the towing
vehicle. Be sure to read the tow vehicle
manufacturer's recommendations.
.
How far the vehicle will be towed. Some
vehicles have restrictions on how far and
how long they can tow.
.
The proper towing equipment. See your
dealer or trailering professional for
additional advice and equipment
recommendations.
.
If the vehicle is ready to be towed. Just
as preparing the vehicle for a long trip,
make sure the vehicle is prepared to be
towed.
Caution
Use of a shield mounted in front of the
vehicle grille could restrict airflow and
cause damage to the transmission. The
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. If using a shield, only
use one that attaches to the towing
vehicle.
Dinghy Towing (with Automatic
Transmission)
Caution
If the vehicle is towed with all four
wheels on the ground, the drivetrain
components could be damaged. The
repairs would not be covered by the
vehicle warranty. Do not tow the vehicle
with all four wheels on the ground.
Vehicles with an automatic transmission
should not be towed with all four wheels on
the ground. If the vehicle must be towed, a
dolly should be used. See "Dolly Towing"
