What is a T.V. Box????

Depends on what kind of car you want. You have many options. We towed a Jeep.

Here's a guide to give you ideas:

I also tow a 2014 Honda CRV with a Roadmaster Tow System. There's lots of different tow cars and tow bar systems for you to choose from do a little research to find the vehicle that you like to see if it's towable. As for TV we chose to go with Dish.

The best toad option we found was a 2014 Honda CR-V. We put a Blue-Ox tow plate on it, and it's light enough at 3300# that my old gasser can handle it.
Did the rig come with a tow bar? We bought the Roadmaster Falcon 2 and new adapters to fit the Blue Ox prongs on the tow plate.

regarding the tow, you don't say if you're an experienced motorhomer or not so I apologize if the following information is old news to you.

be very careful when purchasing a MH or toad. understand the weight of the MH and toad as well as their actual weights and weight ratings.

- GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating): the maximum weight the chassis can support including itself.

- GCWR (gross combination weight rating): the maximum weight the vehicle can propel including itself.

- GAWR (gross axle weight rating): the maximum weight each axle can support. each axle will have a different GAWR. in a MH the sum of the GAWRs will usually, but not always, equal the GVWR.

- GVW (gross vehicle weight): the total weight of the MH as you have loaded it for travel. includes food, fuel, fresh water, clothing, supplies, people, pets and stuff.

- GAW (gross axle weight): the total weight of the above loaded MH on each axle. please note that the GAW on a particular axle should not exceed that axle's GAWR.

- Empty Weight: the weight of the MH with full fuel and LP tanks but which is otherwise empty of food, fresh water, clothing, supplies, people, pets and stuff.

- Payload: the difference between the GVWR and the Empty Weight and represents how much additional weight can be added.

in general, the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow (diesel or gas) will be the lesser of the following:

• the GCWR (gross combination weight rating) of the MH minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded for travel (includes fuel, fresh water, food, clothing, people, pets, supplies, etc.)

• the weight rating of your tow bar

• the weight rating of your hitch

this is why it's vital to know what your MH weighs...by axle...as it is loaded and configure for travel before choosing a toad.

load the MH as you would for a trip including fuel, water, food, clothing, pets, supplies and people. get individual axle weights and compare them to the GAWR for that axle. if either axle is overweight then either move weight to the other axle or eliminate the weight altogether. you need to check individual axle weights because it is possible to be
