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 know as a “dolly”).

Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with any
of it’s wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must be
towed, see “Towing Your Vehicle” in the Index.

Loading Your Vehicle

The Certification/Tire label is found on the driver’s door
edge, above the door latch. The label shows the size of
your original tires and the inflation pressures needed
to obtain the gross weight capacity of your vehicle.
This is called the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR).
The GVWR includes the weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, fuel, cargo and trailer tongue weight,
if pulling a trailer.
