Hello. I have a 1996 Monaco Dynasty and I have made the decision to be a snowbirds this winter. I have never towed a vehicle behind my RV but would like to practice this summer. I have a 2000 Chrysler convertible that is front wheel drive. Of the two options for towing ie flat bed or two wheels which one is easier to tow and to take on and off? The RV has a back up camera which I assume is what I use to watch the car when towing. Are there other issues I should consider about towing that I have not asked? Thank you in advance.
pay attention to weights. do you know what your MH weighs as loaded for travel? do you know what the car weighs? the dolly will weigh less than the trailer as the weight of either + the weight of the car have to be taken into consideration. you might also check witb Remco to see if they have an after market kit which would enable you to flat tow your car.
the amount of weight you can safely tow will be the lesser of the following:
- the gross combination weight rating of the MH minus the actual weight of the MH as it is loaded and configured fir travel
- the weight rating of your hitch
- the weight rating of your tow bar
good luck.
