 From what I've heard, the main annoyance with towing any vehicle "four
down" is that you can't back up.  (The front wheels will turn out of
line and jackknife the hitch.)  Also, if your motorhome has a long rear
overhang, the front wheels if the towed car may tend to turn the wrong
way on very sharp corners, because the motorhome's back bumper will be
swinging wide.
