Towing

Most full and mid-size family cars can pull a trailer; so can today's popular vans, SUVs, and light-duty trucks.  Your auto dealer can tell you more about the towing capacity of your particular vehicle. 

Your tow vehicle must have an adequate tow rating and must be equipped with the following:

Hitch Receiver:  A 2”X2” hitch receiver is required.  FOX RV provides a hitch complete with a hitch ball to fit into a 2”X2” hitch receiver.  Anti-sway equaliser bars are also providedThe hitch receiver height must be such as to permit the trailer to be towed level.

Wiring Travel trailers require a 7-pole RV-style receptacle on the tow vehicle that provides the following:  tail lamps, left and right turn signals, brake lights, electric brakes and charge line.

Brakes:  An electric brake controller is required in the tow vehicle.

Mirrors:  Adequate mirrors are required.

FOX RV does not install or modify hitches or wiring.  To avoid a disappointing delay on your departure day, we encourage you to have your tow vehicle prepared by a qualified professional well in advance.  You may wish to arrange to test your wiring on one of our trailers prior to your departure day.

Approximate trailer weights and sizes are as follows:

  Dry Weight Tongue Weight Length
23' Travel Trailer 3904 lb. 480 lb. 23' 9"
29' Travel Trailer 5014 lb. 690 lb. 29' 10"

The renter is responsible to ensure compliance with all applicable safety procedures and laws.  The trailer will only be released if the tow vehicle meets the above criteria.  Fox RV assumes no responsibility for damage to the tow vehicle for whatever reason.  Fox RV will not refund any rental charges as a result of any problem with the tow vehicle.
