flat towing a boxster behind rv

I am currently setting up my 98 Boxster to dingy tow behind our RV. I hear most folks saying you can't, but my thinking is why not. I have the tow brackets coming out through the air grills, they are set at 13.3'' to center of draw pin. The car weighs less than 3000 pounds. I fabricated a 5 point attachment and mounted it through the trunk panel with 1/4" back plates. with grade 8 hardware. and will be using a Blue Ox tow bar

Planning on test run this afternoon , and leaving for Florida in a week or so!

If you're running a standard transmission, you probably can flat tow it. I've done it with Fieros back in the day and it was pretty easy and didn't harm the transaxle.

Because it's so low to the ground, I wouldn't dolly it, you could easily lose your front bumper fascia on a speed bump. They're everywhere, you know.

I guess I'd see if I could rent a car trailer for a week or so. There again, the car is so low that it might be a challenge to get it on and off without damaging it--you would need long ramps.

Or rent a car when you get to where you're going.

I, personally, would drag my old 02 Prius along instead. Or my pickup.:dance:
