Seek advice about towing my car behind my A-Class

You can check out Fords that can be towed 4 wheels down by going to this website, then looking up various years, and cars on the 'towing behind a motorhome list' on each years towing guide. So look up say the 2009 towing guide, look for the page that towed cars will be listed, go to that page of the PDF, and it will list the cars.

I would much rather have a dedicated car to tow behind the RV than a trailer behind the RV with a car inside it. You will find that disconnecting the trailer, finding a place to store the 20' long trailer, and then parking both the car and RV on your site a pain. A tow dolly is bad enough, but it can be wheeled into the site, then the RV parked over the hitch of the tow dolly, basically covering it up, while also storing it on your site. I have not seen enough RV sites with room for a 20' trailer, 15' long car, and 30' long motorhome on them.

I tow a Ford Edge. It is a very comfortable car, and one of the few cars that a 6'4" tall guy like myself can fit into the back seat while the front seats are still in the rear position! Someone really tall designed that car.

If you are looking for something that gets great mileage, and it light weight, some tow a 'smart' car - by Mercedes. It only seats 2, but if that is all you normally sightsee with, that will work fine, and is great to run some small errands, such as going to the supermarket while the RV stays back at the campground.

I used to tow a 1999 Honda CRV, and my Edge is 2007. I installed the hitch on both of them, it is sort of "Advanced" mechanics to install a hitch, the average handy man can do it, but if you don't already own a torque wrench and bench grinder, you probably don't have the correct tools, and you might want someone like Camping World or another RV supply place to get an estimate to install the hitch kit. RoadmasterInc.com has a list of installers in every state.

You can also do a search for "RV and tow vehicle" at this site, then call the owners and ask if they can or are willing to sell the car separate. RvSearch.com

You might be able to buy a front hitch for your car, along with a "Remco" transmission lubrication pump to allow towing a automatic transmission car behind the RV. The pump moves a certain amount of transmission fluid to lubricate the transmission while towing, and is powered by the RV.

Good luck!
