Recreational vehicle towing means
towing the vehicle behind another
vehicle – such as behind a
motorhome. The two most common
types of recreational vehicle towing
are known as “dinghy towing”
(towing the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground) and “dolly
towing” (towing the vehicle with
two wheels on the ground and
two wheels up on a device known
as a “dolly”).
