How to Prep Your Vehicle When it Needs to Tow a Camper

Our team at Cassill Motors Inc wants you to know that there are a few steps you need to take when your car needs to tow a camper to ensure you can safely operate the vehicle as it pulls a significant amount of weight. First, test the air pressure in each tire to determine if they're properly inflated to boost the fuel efficiency of your vehicle.

It's also necessary to research the type of hitch you need that is compatible with your car and the camper. Read the instructions to ensure you properly hook it up to both the camper and vehicle. You also want to read your owner's manual to determine how much weight your car can tow, depending on its engine and size. Each vehicle varies with its towing capacity, making it necessary to do your research and even contact the manufacturer to ensure you can drive safely in and out of Cedar Rapids, IA.
