When it comes to traveling with a new or used RV, the journey is just as important as the destination! If you’re new to RVing or perhaps the particular kind of RV you’re towing, you’ll want to check out our top 3 RV towing tips below!
Know What You Can Tow
One of the most essential keys to success is making sure your towing vehicle and your RV are a match made in heaven. Your vehicle has a towing capacity and it’s risky and dangerous to pull an RV that exceeds that capacity. Check out our towing guide here to make sure your vehicle is equipped to haul your home on wheels.
TPMS is Your Friend
Many of our new and used RVs for sale come equipped with a tire-pressure monitoring system. This allows you to easily stay on top of your RV’s tires and respond to a loss of pressure before it becomes problematic. This – along with not aiming for jagged potholes – is your ticket to avoiding blow outs.
Keep an Eye on the Road
The part about potholes wasn’t a joke. One of the ways you can enjoy RV towing success is by slowing down, giving plenty of space between you and the next vehicle in front of you, and taking plenty of time to practice towing your RV before your trip. Don’t slam on brakes, practice your turning and backing up, and remember – never swerve. Even if it’s to avoid a pothole. The best way you can avoid potholes or other unexpected obstacles or problems on the road is simply by slowing down enough to give yourself plenty of reaction time. Quick and hard reactions – like slamming on your brakes or swerving – is a recipe for disaster when you’re hauling an RV. So do yourself and your family a favor: slow down, eliminate distractions, and keep an eye on the road.
