FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Towing Safely Behind a Motorhome: RV Education 101 Releases New DVD

Fayetteville, NC – December 08, 2005 -- RV Education 101, founded in 1999, announces the release of their much anticipated new DVD, titled “Towing Behind your Motorhome”. RV Education 101 produces professional Recreation Vehicle (RV) training videos and DVD's on how to use and maintain the systems of an RV. The owner's Mark and Dawn Polk stated there is not enough emphasis placed on properly educating the consumer on the complexities of operating an RV. Mark Polk said, "If you want to retain people in the RV lifestyle, education is a must. Towing behind a motorhome has been one of the most requested topics since filming our RV Winterizing title.”
In the world of RV's a "Dinghy" or "Toad" is a term used for the vehicle that is towed behind a motorhome. Making the decision to purchase a motorhome will eventually require more decisions, one of them being, will you tow a vehicle behind the motorhome. If you haven't made the decision to tow, or not to tow, when you initially purchased your RV, you will probably decide soon after venturing out the first couple times with the RV. When you arrive at your destination and make your campground hook-ups you might discover that you need to run to the local grocery store, or you want to go do some sight-seeing. You will probably wish you had a small, economical vehicle along with you. Polk said “It's convenient to tow a vehicle behind your motorhome and it's not that difficult once you learn how to do it.”

Polk also stated, “The thought of towing a vehicle can seem confusing, almost overwhelming, when you don’t understand all of your options. What vehicles can you tow with all four wheels down, will you need to use a tow dolly, how much weight can you tow behind your motorhome? I have seen many accidents just waiting to happen with motorhomes towing vehicles. This is because of various reasons like the tow vehicle exceeding weight limits, tow bars not properly set up, no braking system on the towed vehicle, towing vehicles without the proper modifications and much more.”

The purpose and goal of this DVD, is to teach people how to properly and safely tow a dinghy, and to assist them in making the right decisions to meet their particular towing needs. Now you can learn everything you need to know about towing behind your motorhome the easy way, by video. Dawn Polk added, "With the RV training videos RV owners can review them as many times as needed. We feel education is the single most important thing you can do for yourself. RV'ing is truly a magical way to get the most out of life!"
