Those who look outside they probably ask them selfs, how is it that can take that trailer and driving without any effort? Are you not afraid of losing control ? However , for those who are already experts in the field it is very easy , and for those its new to, we have to say that having knowledge of the basics is very simple to do . So if you just buy or rent a motorhome do not worry , we will tell the secrets to tow smoothly.
your car and the motorhome!
Driving a car with motorhome
Distribute evenly the weight of the load
There are things that we do not always pay attention to because we  dont really know and it is important to know, for example when loading your motorhome we must never exceed the maximum recommended weight, and is better to distribute the weight evenly between the ends to prevent the axes suffering . Otherwise, it is always better to place the heaviest items on the trailer.
Beware of steep hills
Try going at a constant speed; use the engine brake if you need it and it is always advisable to use the slow lane (in the case of expressways), not to block traffic, as you will also be more confortable.
Be proactive with the safety distances
Its better than on distance trips, keep the vehicle ahead and not missing, because if you have to brake it may take longer due to the weight of the motorhome that although it has its own inertia brake, it requires a safe distance to avoid accidents, the suggested distance is 100 meters.
Using reverse
In this case you can believe that backtracking is a mission impossible, yet stay calm, the first thing is to note that if the motorhome makes a different twist to what you expected, the accompany moving the car also so slow to straighten the maneuver. They should always be short strokes.
.
Do not exceed the speed limit
While this seems obvious, it is the cause for many accidents. You’re on vacation, relax! Do not rush because you actually carry additional weight and we can not to forget about it , so control the speed and note that unless there are changes or you are driving in other countries, usually the limit on normal roads is  1 , 5 meters, the maximum speed is 80 km / h; and the rest, is 70 km / h. However it is worth remembering that the limitation on motorways is 90 km per hour for vehicles with trailers up to 750 kg for the rest the limit is 80 km / h.
Another alternative to carrying both vehicles
You can do the opposite, it could be that your motorhome is towing your car. For example you can take the vehicle on a flatbed trailer. Another way is to use a tow bar, keeping the four wheels of the vehicle on the road and the last would use a tow dolly.
