RV Towing – Know Your LimitsOne of the trickiest aspects of RV towing is matching the towing capacity of your vehicle with your trailer's weight. Remember, the weight of your trailer is calculated by the manufacturer when the trailer is empty, not when you've loaded it up for a two-week trip. To be absolutely sure of your trailer's weight, you need to take it to a platform scale in your area and weigh it.You'll also need to know the RV towing capacity of your tow vehicle. For example, if your truck has a towing capacity of 7,500 pounds as calculated by the manufacturer, never try to tow a vehicle that weighs more than your vehicle's towing capacity. You can do permanent damage to the vehicle. Remember, salespeople will tell you just about anything. If you hear "This truck will tow anything," you still need to make sure you know your trailer's weight and the maximum RV towing capacity of your tow vehicle, as well.
