Hello,
This Is A Small Note On Towing Behind A Clipper RV.
Make Sure Your Welds & Bolts Or Checked On Your Hitch Mounting.
Make Sure That You Do Not Tow Over Wt. Rating Of Your Tow Hitch, & Rated GVW (Gross Vehicle Weigh) & Tongue Weigh In Lbs.

Also, Check Towing Units Leaf Springs, Wheel Bearings, Tire Pressure & Lighting.

I Had A Small Boat Trailer Once, The Spring Broke @ Axle An Twisted, Luckily It Did Not Happen On Bridge I Just Crossed. Had To get Boat & Trailer Towed Back To My House. Contacted Trailer Maker They Up The Size & Gave Me A New Axle & Heavier Springs. Feel A Lot Safer Now.. :D

Many of the clipper tow hitches were put on incorrectly.  I had mine checked out and it's only strong enough to hold/tow about 50lbs...

If you aren't sure, get yours checked out by an expert before hooking up anything.  Or you can find your clipper in a couple pieces.
