Components of a typical tow coupling
Towing Hitch
Your motorhome is equipped with a Class III towing hitch
receiver and trailer wiring receptacle. Depending on the
weight rating of your motorhome’s chassis, hitch ratings
range from 5,000 to 10,000 pounds. Please refer to the
chassis manufacturer’s owner’s manual for towing recom-
mendations and towing limitations for this vehicle.
Safe Towing Tips:
• Never exceed the hitch tow rating, the hitch tongue
weight rating and the towing capacity of your
motorhome.
• There are several sizes of trailer balls available. BE
SURE THE TRAILER BALL MATCHES THE SIZE
OF THE TRAILER COUPLER!
• Always ensure the trailer coupler is properly seated
and locked onto the trailer ball (see illustration).
• Always ensure the hitch pin is properly installed,
securing the ball mount to the receiver tube (see
illustration).
• Always use safety chains between your motorhome
and the towed trailer or vehicle. Cross the chains
under the trailer tongue and allow slack for turning
corners. Connect the safety chains to the trailer or
vehicle frame or hook retainers. Never attach safety
chains to the bumper of a vehicle (see illustration).
• Always check brake lights, running lights, emergency
flashers, and turn signals of the towed vehicle at the
start of the trip and often during the trip.
• Tow bars or car dollies generally are made to travel in
a forward direction only. Most towing equipment of
this type is not designed for backing. Never attempt
back-up maneuvers with a tow bar or tow dolly; doing
so could result in damage to the motorhome, towed
vehicle or towing device.
Electrical Connections for Towing
A 4-way or 7-way trailer plug, supplied by the chassis
manufacturer, is pre-wired to the chassis electrical system.
This plug provides electrical power for running lights,
turn signals, stop lights, and electric trailer brakes. Before
connecting your motorhome to any towed vehicle, verify
that the wiring of the towed vehicle plug conforms to your
motorhome connector wiring. Refer to your Chassis Packet
for additional information regarding vehicle towing.
NOTE: Thor Motor Coach accepts no responsibility
for damage to the chassis, property, and other com-
ponents resulting from towing with your motorhome
or towing loads greater than its designated specifi-
cations.
