Tow Cars
1. Be sure you tow car is safely attached. While parked on a level place, measure to make sure the center of the ball on the motor home hitch is about 1 1/2 inches higher than the pivotal point on the tow bar attached to the car. This keeps the car from pole baulting into the motor home during a sudden stop.
2. Take a test drive of your motor home with the tow car attached before your trip.
3. Towing a care will actually save your gas, since you won’t be using the motor home for shorter trips.
4. When towing a car follow the manufacturers instructions.
5. Believe it or not, you’ll forget you’re towing a car except when passing, parking, stopping quickly or turning sharply. When passing, make sure both the motor home and car are past before going back into the lane. When pulling into a rest area or parking lot, allow for the added length of the tow car.
6. When towing a car allow 100 more feet of stopping space.****posted 1/24/2009**
