The first thing about dingy towing is do not put your self in a position where you have to back up. It is not advisable to back up with a dingy, you can damage the towbar or the dingy suspension. The second thing is tow the dingy into the camp and register first before unhooking. Many state and federal camps will charge you for a second vehicle if you unhook and drive it in separately. Towing a dingy is nothing special, just observe the front dingy wheels are steering properly when making turns. Try to not make back to back sharp turns in opposite directions without driving straight for a short distance between turns. If not your wheels can slam sideways and you end up dragging the front wheels sideways. A back up camera is helpful. if you get in a spot where you have no choice but to back up, bite the bullet and just do the unhooking.
