I have never towed a vehicle before. How do I learn to do it?
It may seem intimidating to tow an RV for the first time but towing is a skill set like driving a car, riding a bike, or mastering anything you ever set out to learn.

What is the difference between dry weight and wet weight?
A good way to think of this is laden vs. unladen weight. The dry weight is the weight of the RV with empty water tanks, propane tanks, fuel, and without any gear or equipment. The wet weight is how much the RV weighs with full tanks and equipment. This is an important distinction when you are buying an RV and comparing it with the towing capacity of your vehicle. Always check this information with your RV dealer to make sure that your tow vehicle has the capacity to pull your RV.

Do I need a special driver's license to tow a travel trailer?
For most RVs, all that is needed is a regular driver’s license which makes purchasing an RV very accessible. Driver’s license requirements vary by state so you should always check the specific regulations in your state. In most states, RVs weighing under 26,000 pounds don’t require a special license however, there are some additional requirements in some states such as a skills or a written test to drive very large motorhomes. You should always double-check with the state’s DMV for updated information as these rules sometimes change.
