“Towing vehicle” and
“towed vehicle” — definition
People frequently confuse the terms “towing vehicle”
and “towed vehicle.” The “towing vehicle” is the one
that pulls the dolly, while the “towed vehicle” is on the
dolly.
To avoid confusion, the phrase “towing vehicle” has
been replaced by “motorhome” (even though you may
not be using a motorhome to tow the dolly). We will
use the phrase “towed vehicle” as defined above.
*
Vehicles with fender flares, or with fenders that
overhang the wheels, may be susceptible to damage
during cornering. Refer to step 1 in the “Towing” section,
on page 9.
