Dinghy towing (flat towing) lets you bring a car along behind your motorhome with all four wheels on the ground. This setup gives you local transportation at your destination without the hassle of towing a trailer. A complete flat-tow system includes a tow bar, baseplate on your dinghy vehicle, supplemental braking, lighting connections, and various accessories that make the process safe and legal.

What to Know Before You Buy

• Not all vehicles can be flat-towed—confirm your car or truck is approved for towing with four wheels down in the owner's manual.
• Baseplates are vehicle-specific brackets that provide the connection point for your tow bar.
• Supplemental braking is required by most states when the towed vehicle exceeds a certain weight (typically 1,500-3,000 lbs).
• Wiring connects your motorhome's lighting signals to your dinghy's taillights for legal operation.
