  • Exploring TOWABLE VEHICLES for 2021 for VEHICLES TOWABLE VOL
    CULINARY TRAVEL TOWABLE VEHICLES FOR 2021 IMPROVING RV DRINKING WATER JANUARY 2021 JANUARY ENHANCING THE RV LIFESTYLE JANUARY • Exploring A World Of Wonders VOL. 58 NO. 1 • $3.99 US FamilyRVingmag.com THIS ARTICLE IS REPRINTED FROM THE JANUARY ISSUE UPDATED DECEMBER 2020 A guide to 2021-model-year vehicles that manufacturers have indicated can be flat towed behind a motorhome without significant modifications. The following information is intended to help motorhome owners select a vehicle that is approved by its manufacturer for flat towing. The information was gathered from automobile manufacturers and vehicle owners manuals and pertains only to 2021-model-year vehicles. The information may or may not be correct for earlier or later models. While every attempt has been made to present accurate information, continued vehicle improvements and production-line changes could alter the information and render it out-of-date. Before purchasing any vehicle, consult its owners manual to determine whether the vehicle can be flat towed behind a motorhome and what procedures must be taken to prepare the vehicle for towing. And check with the dealer to ascertain whether any service bulletins have been issued to update the owners manual information as it pertains to recreational towing. Also check with base plate manufacturers to determine whether that component is available for the vehicle you will be towing. Towing surveys for prior years are available at www.familyrvingmag.com. he majority of motorhome owners take along another vehicle that they use for transportation once they set up camp. Having a second vehicle eliminates the need to unhook the motorhome when it comes time to explore the local area, and it also provides flexibility for traveling to or parking in places not accessible to motorhomes.
