Re: [DML] DMC towing

["Mike Walsh" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I towed mine about 400 miles last year when I first got it. I rented a
U-Haul with one of their trailers (full trailer, not the dolly). I had no
problems but I did use some of the towing advice other owners gave me.

Don't use a car cover or bra. The movement of the material will damage the
fascia
Don't tow backwards - If you do REMOVE THE LOUVERS. The weight distribution
is about 40% front and 60% rear. The difference in weight distribution will
not be that significant.
