Yes, have checked with GMC, and have gone over the instructions in the OM. The Canyon 4x4 can be flat towed.
ok, good. next is to make sure it's not too heavy to be towed. to determine that you need to know what your MH weighs as it is loaded and configured for travel...on each axle. that includes fuel, water, clothing, food, pets, people and 'stuff'.
in general, the maximum amount of weight you can safely tow 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 as it is loaded and configure for travel before choosing a toad. Your MH will not collapse if it is overloaded but you will experience handling issues as well as longer braking distances and accelerated wear on suspension, brakes, steering, etc.
