We just purchased a 1998 25' Coachman E350 with a V10. We will be towing an aluminum boat around 2200 pounds, but were wondering what other people tow. Do any tow a car and if so, do you tow it flat, on a dolly, or on a trailer? We have a little PT convertable that we thought about taking with us on some trips where we will be taking the Class C and not the larger TT when we won't have the boat. Just curious. I don't see many Class C's towing a car.

We tow a 10' pace arrow motorcycle trailer with a Suzuki in it. The only time we ever have trouble is when we have to back it up around a tight corner. DH says we've done 10k miles and we haven't had any trouble.

When I tow, I tow my compact pickup, flat. Most of the time I don't tow. Depends on whether I'm going to be on the move, and want the C to be more mobile, or if I'm going somewhere to park it for a long time, and would rather drive something else.
You see fewer C's towing than large A's, because often they are being used differently.

2006 Saturn Vue flat. I don't think that you can tow a PT cruiser flat.

That actually is why we bought the C so that we could just go for short little trips with the boat. For long outings where we visit friends, sightsee and just flip a coin where we go next, we have the Cougar TT and the F250. The problem is we LOVE the C and are now thinking more of how to travel with it more than the Bigger Trailer. LOL

For any of you that tow using a Tow Dolly, what has to be done to the vehicle if it is an automatic front wheel drive. Is a Tow Dolly an acceptable means to carry your toad and how much hassle would a Dolly be? SOOOOOO many questions. LOL
