towing

It would make life a bit easier if I could haul my golf cart in my truck instead of having my wife drive separately with a trailer. I have a F250 with the short bed(6'9"). From the GC's front bumper to where the rear tires are fully on the floor measures about 6'6". Considering if I remove the...

The problem... Purchased 2020 Newmar Bay Star 3014 and the hitch receiver on the back is about 12 inches to high to level tow my small Ford Focus. Tow bar that came with the Newmar is a Blue Ox and will not adapt to the Roadmaster base plate on the car. My suggested solution (photos ) is to...

Discovered today that my towing dolly geometry was way off. Passenger side diagonal measurement was longer from driver side by 1 inch. Not sure if this would be obvious from the picture but passenger side tire has wear on outside. I am assuming this was the reason for fishtailing on our last...

Hello and thanks for any information that you can provide. I have a 2023 Fleetwood frontier 36SS I want to tow a car trailer and cannot find a brake controller on the dash does it have a built-in one? Does anyone here tow with a 36SS?

Thought everyone would like to check out my last trip numbers in the Landmark. Sorry the RV tag is blurry but it’s 18k GVWR and I weighed the truck with a full tank with hitch installed and RV with full 2x40lb propane tanks and all my living stuff but nothing in the tanks. Looks like it was...

I have a new to me (but well used) Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain tow bar. When not in use, I always see towbars set up to fold neatly to one side or the other of the receiver hitch. However, the arms on mine just flop to the ground. I figure I must be doing something wrong… this towbar should...

Just wondering has anyone tried this vs the hassle of buying a vehicle and towing if your just getting started on this new ClassA journey ?

Hi everyone, New members here. Was wondering how to tow our 2014 Acura MDX 2WD behind motorhome with all four paws on the ground. Acura says no but I seen it done. Don’t want to use dolly. Any insight here by anyone who does this.

I will soon purchase a 2025 Lincoln Nautilus for towing. Has anyone installed the diode light kit on either the 2024 or 2025 Nautilus? I spoke with Demco and the representative told me that their light kit would not work on this vehicle. And if the diode kit will not work, what options are...

We want to flat tow our RDX. I know that most the information and the owner's manual say NO. We bought it new, so I'm not too concerned about the warranty issue, but in speaking to th GM at the Acura dealer, he said it could be done. What say you?

New-to-me 2018 Arctic Fox 27-5L, pulled by new-to-me 2015 F350 4x4 SRW CCSB 6.7 diesel. Today I finally got around to hitching up and going for a short test tow (trailer was delivered to my house, so it was my first time pulling it). I went to a large parking lot to get as level as possible...

Looking at a 39' MH with a 300hp Cummins Diesel and a 2500 Allison Trans. The hitch is rated for 5,000lb. I know I can have that upgraded, but should I? My toad will be just around 5,000lb, but I also have a car hauler that I use for collector cars so that weighs in around 8,000lbs. My concern...

A decade ago we had a 36' gas Ford V-10 class A for a while. It was sold off quite some time ago. Now I am thinking about another RV as I am going to be traveling a lot and many of those trips will include a 24' enclosed trailer that checks in at around 7500 pounds. The A we had pulled the...

I know there are many variables to this question but curious what you guys are seeing. I have 2024 Chevy 2500 and running 4 wet cell cart battery's. With battery's at lets say 50% and stock round 7 pin trailer plug what kind of AH are you seeing at highway speeds?

I may have to get my 2021 Newmar Bay Star 3626 towed. I found a lot of oil leaking from the right rear inside tire hub. The rear brake is coated in oil as well. If the local Ford dealer can’t repair, the next option is a Ford truck service center but that is about 50 miles away. Doesn’t seem...

I have an AAA RV Plus membership which only allows $500 to tow our 40 foot Class A motorhome. Any suggestions what the best towing membership options that are available would be appreciated? Thank you in advance.

I am seriously considering a 2025 RAM 1500 as my new toad. I will be moving the Air Force One and battery charging line from my Expedition to the RAM. I will also be installing new base plates, wiring and such and have a Blue Ox Avail 10K# tow bar. I am familiar with general toad ops. I’m...

We have a Ford Escape Hybrid FWD. I am debating between just doing a tow dolly since it is FWD or a flat tow setup. The Escape weighs 3,900 lbs. If I go with a two dolly, it has brakes and lights. Do I still need to have the lights working on the Escape and does it need brakes? With a flat...

So I’m looking for some input on towing a vehicle. What I have is a 2023 f150 crew cab that has a curb weight of 4500#. I’m looking at motor homes in the 30-35’ range. I’m buying a used unit. In my price range topping out at about $95,000 and a floor plan that I think right now that I’m looking...

We've just purchased a new 2025 GMC Yukon, to replace our existing 2019 towed vehicle. I plan to do a DIY towing set-up. Already have the Blue Ox baseplate, Air Force One, Demco wireless coachlink, Roadmaster battery disconnect system and SpartanLync TPMS sensors identified and/or ordered...

We are considering buying a Can-am Maveric to haul in the back of our 2012 Silverado 1500, that we tow behind our class A motorhome. Does any one have any experience doing this. The truck tows fine now but not shure how it will tow with a UTV in the back. Thinking of loading the UTV an a...

Hi All, We are retirees and just starting out, so asking for your expert advice again on towing a car. Any suggestions on the best way bring a car along? Some background-- we have a 2005 Coachmen Concord 225RK E-450. I have 12 years experience towing heavy equipment, however my wife has no...

When preparing the vehicle to tow, once the transmission reads ready to tow, do you turn the key off immediately or wait for the blue line on the bottom to complete. After the Blue line on the bottom completes it then changes to put in park. Do I wait until this point to turn off? This part...
