Suburu NOT towable!

From FMCA site:
" Subaru of America (SOA) has responded to Family Motor Coaching magazine's request that the company clarify its position on flat-towing Subaru vehicles behind motorhomes.

"Moving forward, SOA cannot recommend dinghy towing. Our cars should be flat-bedded."

No further explanation was provided. "

    I have a 2016 Forester, manual transmission. The problem is not the tranny, its the electric steering. My research indicates that the cars can be towed if power is applied to the electric steering control unit via a direct charging line or with the ignition switch on. I found a company that supplies a simple system to resolve the problem; Charge line @ RVI Brake. Check it out and let me know what you think.

    Thanx
