Towing a Vehicle Behind
Your Motorhome With
All Four Wheels Down
Many motorhome owners prefer the practicality of
having another vehicle along when they travel. In
fact, towing another vehicle behind the motorhome
has become more and more popular in recent years.
Furthermore, many of those who want to tow another
vehicle prefer one that can be easily towed without a
dolly or trailer. The car and truck models shown in the
chart at right can be towed with all four wheels down.
For safe operation, towed vehicles (or dollies or trailers
carrying them) should be equipped with a separate
functional brake system. See page 22 and back cover
for additional brake information.
Note: Some aftermarket camper centers offer
kits which may allow vehicles with automatic
transmissions to be flat-towed. Check your new
vehicle Warranty Guide, as this could void the
warranty of your vehicle.
If your vehicle configuration is not listed in the chart above,
then it’s not available for Four-Wheel-Down towing.
