6. What can I tow with my current vehicle?


Lakeshore RV Center offers a wide variety of towable trailers, toy haulers, and fifth wheels from lightweight travel trailers to larger fifth wheel RVs. Each vehicle has its own recommended towing capacity based on size and weight. Check with your owner's manual for the exact recommended towing load of your vehicle, or ask one of our sales agents to assist you with choosing the right RV for your vehicle.

7. Will I need to purchase a new hitch to tow my RV?


Maybe. Maybe not. Every RV unit we sell requires varying weight distribution, sway control, and brake control equipment. Fifth wheel hitching requires some specialty equipment to be installed in the bed of your pickup truck. Ask one of our sales agents to assist you in determining the equipment that would work best to meet your specific needs. To make things even easier, our service department is happy to install your new hitch and towing equipment when you come to pick up your new RV!
