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: D What's the towing capacity of the towing vehicle? Be sure you read the tow vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. D How far will you tow? Some vehicles have restrictions on how far and how long they can tow. D Do you have the proper towing equipment? See your dealer or trailering professional for additional advice and equipment recommendations. D 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. Dinghy Towing Use the following procedure to tow your vehicle: 1. Firmly set the parking brake. 2. Shift the transmission to PARK (P). 3. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow vehicle. 4. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N). See "All-Wheel Drive" in the Index for the proper procedure to select the NEUTRAL position for your vehicle. 5. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the towing vehicle. 6. Turn the ignition to Lock. See "Ignition Positions" in the Index for more information CAUTION: Shifting an all-wheel drive vehicle's transfer case into NEUTRAL can cause your vehicle to roll even if the transmission is in PARK (P). You or others could be injured. Make sure the parking brake is firmly set before you shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL. 4-54
