Flat towing, also called dinghy towing, allows your vehicle to roll behind your RV with all four wheels on the ground. The setup needs to be matched carefully to your vehicle and towing system.

Signs You May Need a Flat Tow Setup

If you're new to towing or upgrading your setup, you may notice your vehicle does not have the right base plate or tow bar installed, your current towing setup feels unstable, or you're unsure whether your vehicle is towable in its current configuration.

Towing setups can vary depending on the vehicle, drivetrain, and manufacturer guidelines.

What a Flat Tow Setup May Include

Flat tow systems are made up of several parts that work together. Depending on your setup, this may include base plates mounted to the towed vehicle, tow bars connecting the RV and vehicle, safety cables or chains, and wiring for brake lights and turn signals.

Each installation should start with checking compatibility. Not all vehicles are designed to be flat towed, and setup requirements can vary.

Why Proper Installation Matters

A properly installed tow kit can help improve stability while towing, reduce wear on towing components, and help keep your setup within safe operating limits.

An incorrect setup may lead to uneven wear, handling issues, or damage over time.
