There is a lot more to recreational vehicle towing than simply hooking up your trailer or loading your camper and making sure the rear lights work.

Before you get started, the three major concerns to understand include having the right driver's licence, knowing if your brakes are sufficient to get you stopped and how much the entire combination weighs.

A standard class 5 and 7 driver's licence allows you to drive a two-axle motor vehicle and tow a trailer with it, as long as the weight of the trailer is not more than 4,600 kilograms.
