Travel Trailer Hitches Are The Starting Point for Your Towing Capabilities
Travel trailer hitches are one of the first rv accessory equipment that determines your pulling weight limit. Your towing vehicle needs to be able to withstand a class 3 to a class 5 pull rating. Your vehicle factory specs allow you to pull to the capacity set by the factory based on your engine and transmission.
Be sure to check your owners manual on the towing specs for your peticular vehicle. A travel trailer rv camper dealer can help you with the needs of your vehicle. A car can pull a small pop up camper with a class 2 tow rating. Anything larger than a small pop up, should be pulled with an SUV or pickup truck. You can have a travel trailer hitch installed at the RV dealership or even at your local body shop. Your RV dealership will be the best for installing your hitch, because they know where the reinforcements need to be to pull your camper safely.
You can read about towing and accessories or even watch a video on towing with these Travel Trailer videos.
Be sure to follow all manufacturer's instructions when towing anything. Your safety and the safety of your family is an important factor that should be considered. Never allow anyone to ride inside your rv camper while it is being pulled. You can find towing and hitch needs at JCWhitney.com March Featured Category - Hitches, Towing & Trailers, shop now!

Always make sure the cabinets are completely closed and latched. Check the refrigerator door latch.
Don't leave anything out on the counter top that could slide around and get broken. Make sure the toilet seat is down and cabinet drawers are pushed all the way in.
If you carry bicycles on a bike rack, be sure they are secured with the factory straps. Check your spare tire for the proper air pressure. Make sure the step is folded in the up position and the door is latched. Anything stored inside the rv camper should be positioned so it will not roll or tumble on take offs or stops.
