Newbie Towing Advice Needed

I just purchased a Thor Four Winds 24F on a Chevy E4500 chassis. What do I need to do to tow a F150 pick up truck or a Dodge Durango?

TIA for your advice.

The 1st thing you'll need to do is verify from a particular vehicle that it can be towed 4 down, DO NOT take ANY salesman's word, look in the manual of the specific vehicle. Less of the newer vehicles with the current newer transmissions can not be flat towed.
Then you'll need tow bars with vehicle specific attaching points, auxillary braking system, some sort of connection to tail/stop lights, possibly a battery disconnect & vehicle specific procedure to be able to tow it.

A lot of states are now calling a towed vehicle a "trailer" and in most states, trailers weighing over 3000 or 3500 pounds are required to have operational brakes. There are several "automotive braking systems that sit on the floor under the steering wheel and accomplish this requirement.

This forum is a "towable RV" forum, Keystone does not manufacture any motorhomes, so there's limited information available on this site.

You'd likely be "better served" on a motorhome forum. There are several on the web, one, which is owned by the same company that owns this forum is located here: https://www.irv2.com/forums/ There are specific forum sections for Class A, Class B, Class C and "general" motorhome discussions.
