You may have seen our recent post on electric vehicle towing capacity in which we discussed whether or not it’s possible to tow your RV with an electric vehicle (EV). Today’s post looks at EVs and RVs from a different perspective: “Can electric vehicles be flat towed?” We’ll begin with a quick primer on flat …
Towing
With all the interest in electric vehicles, and with interest in RVs at an all-time high, we thought it might be a good idea to take a look at the possibilities associated with towing an RV with an electric vehicle. So, today we’re looking at electric vehicle towing capacity, and asking the question “Can you …
We’ve discussed towing now and again on this blog, from a few different perspectives. We’ve published a post about towing a car behind an RV, we’ve talked about the best tow bar for flat towing, and we recently addressed methods for trailer sway control in detail. But today we’re looking at triple towing, which is …
Shortly after we published our post entitled “What Is Tongue Weight and Why Is It Important?”, we noted a comment from a reader who suggested that we write a post specifically dedicated to methods for trailer sway control (thanks, Eric!). So, in today’s post, we’re looking straight at trailer sway – what it is, how …
When you’re traveling down the road hauling a trailer or a 5th wheel (or any other kind of open/enclosed trailer), various weights factor into your towing experience and, more importantly, to your safety and the safety of everyone traveling the roads with you. Many people are well aware of what terms like GVWR (gross vehicle …
Many RVers enjoy the ability to flat-tow a vehicle behind their RV. The benefits are tremendous, particularly for those of us with very large motorhomes. Jeeps are very popular as “toads” or “dinghy vehicles”, but if you’re a proponent of flat towing like we are, knowing what Jeeps can be flat towed (some can’t!) is …
As many of our regular readers know, we’re big fans of flat-towing (4 wheels down). That’s because it’s worked so incredibly well for us over our nearly 2 decades of full-time RVing. We’ve been flat-towing our 2003 Honda CR-V for that entire time with great success, but the newer CR-Vs can’t be flat-towed. In addition, …
As owners of a large Class A motorhome, we flat tow a Honda CR-V behind our rig and have done so for nearly two decades now. Yes, the SAME Honda CR-V! We bought it brand new in 2003… specifically to tow behind us when we became full-time RVers. It’s been a fantastic vehicle for us …
We’ve been talking about towing quite a lot lately. Continuing on that popular RVing topic, today we’re covering the subject of the RV tow dolly. When you travel in a motorhome, as we have for nearly 2 decades, it’s pretty important for most RVers to tow a smaller vehicle along for trips into a nearby …
Since we recently covered the topic of hooking up and disconnecting an RV tow bar, today we’re taking a look at the best vehicle to tow behind your RV. Because we know that most RVers enjoy exploring well beyond the campground as we do, bringing along a towed vehicle is a given. When your home-on-wheels …
Not all RVs are a great choice for navigating tight city streets, small parking lots, or even certain areas in national parks. This is why many Class A RV owners choose to tow a smaller vehicle (often referred to as a “dinghy” or a “towed car” or just a “toad”) behind their RV. If you …
We’ve flat towed our Honda CR-V behind our motorhome for over 18 years now, so we’re well aware of the benefits of flat towing. We’ve also had plenty of time and experience to determine which is the best tow bar for flat towing, or “4-down” towing. When you choose to flat tow your vehicle behind …
RVs are a great way to explore the country without sacrificing luxury or comfort. One thing motorhomes are not great for, though, is driving around residential or city streets and finding parking spaces! That’s why many of us choose to tow a car behind our motorhomes. Towing a car behind an RV gives you more …
