Safety First

First things first, let’s talk about safety. Before you even think about setting off with your tiny house RV, you need to confirm the towing safety numbers for both your small tiny home RV and your towing vehicle. Don’t worry, it’s not rocket science—just check the Tumbleweed data plate (in the closet) or the sticker on the tongue. In most trucks, you can find all the info you need in the owner’s manual or on the driver’s side door jamb.

You will need the following 5 weight ratings:

The dry weight of your tiny house RV

The tongue weight of your tiny house RV

The empty weight of your tow vehicle

The GCVW (gross combined vehicle weight) of your tow vehicle

The tongue weight capacity of your tow vehicle

It’s crucial to make sure that all of these numbers are within the recommended range to avoid any accidents or mishaps while towing. Trust me, you don’t want to skimp on this step. If you load your towing vehicle with more weight than it’s rated for, let’s just say you will be pretty dissatisfied with the outcome when you hit the road.

First, make sure that the tongue weight capacity of your tow vehicle is MORE THAN the tongue weight of your mobile house RV.

Second, confirm that your truck can safely pull the tiny house. The GCVW must be MORE THAN the dry weight of your tiny house RV plus the empty weight of your tow vehicle.

If these data can be handed over to a partner you trust, we are willing to support you.
