Towing Equipment for your Towed Vehicle

Tow Dollies

Towing can be made simple and trouble-free with the help of Tow Dollies. They can be used to haul motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATV’s and golf carts. Get a 2 Tow Dolly, a 3 Tow Dolly or an SS Tow Dolly depending on the type of vehicle that needs to be towed.

2 Tow Dollies are an economical alternative to 3 Tow Dollies. They have a heavy-duty frame, low-profile ramps and stop-turn taillights for easy uploading and towing. 3 Tow Dollies have auto-steer cornering and a hydraulic brake system that ensures safe and controlled turns and brakes. They also have a tilted bed frame that makes loading quick and easy. SS Tow Dollies are an ideal option for RV owners. They have foldable ramps for better convenience while parking.

Light Bars from JC Whitney are portable and can be connected to any standard lighting system. They help you hook up taillights, headlights and brake lights to the vehicle that’s being towed. You can connect them to your RV’s lighting system easily.

Towed Vehicle Brake System

Towed Vehicle Brake Systems help increase or decrease the braking pressure in your Towed Vehicle in direct proportion to the brakes of your motorhome. When the RV brakes are applied a mirror effect occurs in the braking system of your towed vehicle. Some of these Tow Brakes also have an additional Breakaway Hydraulic Brake that brings your towed vehicle to a safe and controlled halt even if it separates from your motorhome.

Brake Light Relay Kits and Second Vehicle Kits are also available at JC Whitney. Brake Light Relay Kits prevent the brake signals from over-riding the turn signals of the towed vehicle. They are a must when installing a braking system. We also have Second Vehicle Kits that include all the parts required to install an air cylinder on a second towed vehicle — you don’t have to spend big bucks on buying another complete system.

Tips for Towing

• Buy your Towing Equipment only after finding out the maximum weight of the vehicle that you might have to tow.
• Follow all the instructions given in the user manual precisely to ensure that the Towing Equipment is secured tightly.
• Check the Braking System and Tow Dollies to make sure that they function smoothly without any glitches.
• Drive slowly especially on curves and slopes to prevent excessive swaying of your Towed Vehicle.
• Conduct occasional checks on your Towing Equipment to keep them functioning smoothly.
