Questions?

Towing an RV for the first time may appear daunting; however, it is akin to acquiring any other skill, such as driving a car or riding a bicycle. There are numerous methods to prepare for this task, but one of the most straightforward approaches is to reach out to your local dealership. Many dealerships provide opportunities for test drives and even conduct classes on RV towing techniques. Additionally, this article contains a wealth of tips to help you begin your journey.

A good way to think of this is laden vs. unladen weight. The dry weight is the weight of the RV with empty water tanks, propane tanks, fuel, and without any gear or equipment. The wet weight is how much the RV weighs with full tanks and equipment. This is an important distinction when you are buying an RV and comparing it with the towing capacity of your vehicle. Always check this information with your RV dealer to make sure that your tow vehicle has the capacity to pull your RV.

For most RVs, all that is needed is a regular driver’s license which makes purchasing an RV very accessible. Driver’s license requirements vary by province so you should always check the specific regulations in your province.

This depends on your current vehicles towing capacity and your overall budget. Travel Trailers come in a wide variety of types/classes and have an array of residential layouts to fit most needs. For a smaller sized travel trailer a large SUV or standard sized pickup truck would work. For a larger travel trailer or fifth wheel a large truck with towing capacity of more than 5,000 pounds would be required. Reaching out to a local RV dealer is the best way to match your towing vehicle to your RV unit.
