Doea anyone know how I might be able to tow my Transit behind my Motor Home wthout the use of a dolly? Can I just put the transmission in nuetral or to I need a transmission pump?

Does any manufacturer have a transmission pump available?

Does any manufacturer have a base plate for mounting the tow bar?

The Ford Transit is one awesome little vehicle and I know that towing it behind my motor home will give me extreme flexibility.

Thanks,

T

As per page 154 in my 2010 Owners manual.......

RECREATIONAL TOWING

Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational (RV) towing.

An example of recreational towing would be towing your vehicle behind

a motorhome. These guidelines are designed to ensure that your

transmission is not damaged.

Note: Put your climate control system in recirculated air mode to

prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle.

Front Wheel Drive (FWD) vehicles with automatic transmissions:

Do not tow the vehicle with the front drive wheels on the ground. It is

recommended to tow your vehicle with the front drive wheels on a dolly

with the transmission in N (Neutral) or with all four (4) wheels off the

ground on a car-hauling trailer

So much for towing in neutral.
