When to unhook

[Curt_and_Marie]

OK, I am sure some of my questions are kind of stupid but I have to ask them anyhow. I have never towed a dinghy before. Today I installed the base plate for my Falcon II on my Durango and am in the process of wiring the lights. I am curious as to just what to expect when towing? I have driven 18 wheelers and successfully towed just about every type of trailer in the Army and for pleasure have towed a 30 foot Silver Streak camper for the last 20 years, I pride myself in my trailer backing ability but I just don't think I should ever back up with the dinghy. Is it recommended to disconnect dinghy and use it to recon campsites? Any issues pulling into gas stations? I suppose every situation is different, size of gas station / campsite ect. Just don't want to get into a situation and have to back out.

Thank you guys so much. You know, we know we made the right choice in choosing to invest in the full time RV lifestyle. As we grew older we tried boating and even bought a muscle car and tried following that lifestyle as well, Asking a question like I did would have generated all kinds of know-it-all snotty response's. I just feel comfortable asking the simplest questions to RVers. Thanks again se ya all soon Curt and Marie

In Campgrounds - check with the Camp Hosts - they can tell you the best place to unhook. There's usually a wider area by the front.

I hear that there are people that can back up a dingy. I have never seen one. Just like there are folks that can back up a set of double trailers here again I have never seen one. So with that said I would just assume your going to need to disconnect the dingy if you want to back up. Even if someone says they can back a dingy up I would have to see it to believe it.
