The RV "Toad"
A "toad" is a second vehicle
that is towed behind a motorhome. This provides a convenient
runabout vehicle for shopping or sightseeing, while leaving the
motorhome at the RV park.
Towing 4 down
This term refers to the method
of towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, as
opposed to using a tow dolly or trailer. Some cars can be towed
in this manner with no modifications, while others may need
specialized equipment.
The tow dolly
A tow dolly is a two wheeled
trailer that supports the front wheels of the toad, the rear
wheels trail along on the ground.
Towing a trailer
The alternative to towing 4
down, or using a tow dolly, is to use a separate trailer to
carry the toad.
