Best Cars to Tow Behind a Motorhome

By Out-of-Doors Mart on March 2nd, 2021 in Tips

There is a lot to love about traveling in a motorhome. With everything you need to live comfortably right there onboard, you can take off on long trips and still have many of the conveniences of home. With that said, a motorhome is a large vehicle to use to run errands on your trips, or to visit certain destinations. Many motorhome owners choose to tow another vehicle behind the motorhome to make it easier to get around once they have set up camp. This post will look at some of the best options for this task.

 

If you would like to browse a large selection of Greensboro RVs to find the right motorhome for your needs, Out-of-Doors Mart is the best place to shop. Whether you’d like a new or used rig, the inventory at this dealership will serve you well.

 

A Small Coupe or Sedan

This is where to start your search for the right vehicle to tow behind a motorhome. Something small is going to be easiest to pull, and you probably don’t need a ton of space for cargo when the vehicle will mostly be used for running errands. Nearly every car manufacturer on the market today offers some kind of small coupe or sedan, and most of those models will meet your needs.

 

Also, if you are only going to be using this vehicle for the purpose of bringing it with your motorhome, having a small vehicle is going to make it easier to store when not in use. It might not make much sense to have a big vehicle that you have to find a parking spot for while you are in between motorhome trips.

 

A Compact SUV Offers Flexibility

If you use your motorhome as a starting point for various outdoor adventures, a compact SUV might be the best solution to this problem. Getting something that has four-wheel-drive and is capable of handling varied terrain could be a big advantage over a small car. This would allow you to reach more places comfortably, and you’d be able to take more gear with you at the same time.

 

Of course, depending on the model, even a small SUV is likely to be bigger and weigh more than a compact car. So, as you are picking out the vehicle you’ll purchase, keep those measurements in mind and make sure they are manageable for your towing setup.

 

The Affordable Option – A Car You Own

Even if a vehicle you currently own isn’t exactly perfect for the job of being towed behind a motorhome, it could still work – and it would be far more affordable than buying something else. Remember, you’ll not only need to pay for that new vehicle, but you will also have to insure it, pay registration, etc. Those costs can add up quickly. Many owners of Greensboro RVs simply use one of their regular cars as a tow-behind vehicle when they head out on motorhome trips. Keep that possibility in mind if you are trying to keep costs down while still having all the flexibility you need on vacation.
