Question:

I just bought a Jayco Melbourne L with the Mercedes chassis. I have a 2003 Toyota Camry automatic 4cyl. What kind of towing setup would be best to tow car behind RV?

According to Toyota the 2003 Toyota Camry automatic is not designed to be flat towed behind a motor home with all 4 wheels on the ground to avoid damage to the vehicle's transmission. The only way to flat tow the Toyota Camry automatic is with a tow dolly.

I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes part # DM9713093 because of it's disc brake system. There is not a need to add an electric brake controller to the motor home like with the other options. The Kar Kaddy is pre-wired so the dolly is all you need to tow the Camry behind the motor home compared to the other options that require extra wiring. The Demco Kar Kaddy has a 4-pole flat so you can use Pollak 7 Pole to 4 Way Connector Adapter # PK12716 to plug the Kar Kaddy into the motor home's 7-way. This option is actually less costly compared to flat towing with a tow bar because you need less parts.
