RVT
Snowbirds & RV Travelers
Flat towing a car by Tow bar or A-Frame on all four tires behind their RV is a very popular way to travel. RVing in general is a big responsibility and staying educated is key. When flat towing there are two things to consider. The first is towing laws for each state and country, the other is the Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) for your motorhome.
Federal Regulations Title 49 (49CFR571.4) of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (10-01-08 edition) defines a ‘trailer’ as follows: “Trailer means a motor vehicle with or without motive power, designed for carrying persons or property and for being drawn by another motor vehicle.”
