Towing your RV

Here are some things to keep in mind before towing your RV:
  • Most full and mid-size family cars can pull a trailer; so can today’s popular vans, SUVs, and light-duty trucks.
  • Use the right trailer hitch for the job, and make sure it is hitched correctly.
  • Make sure that the trailer?s brakes, turn signals, and taillights are synchronized with the towing vehicle.
  • Back up with care and ask someone to stand outside the vehicle to make sure you avoid any obstacles not seen in the mirrors.
  • If another person is not available, step out and inspect the area behind the vehicle to prevent surprises and accidents.
