Can I Tow a Camper With a U-Haul Truck?

Towing a camper with a U-Haul truck is possible, but it depends on the size and weight of the camper. U-Haul trucks come in three different sizes: 10′, 15′, and 20′. The 10′ and 15′ trucks are designed for smaller loads, while the 20′ truck can accommodate larger loads. When considering towing a camper with a U-Haul truck, it is important to consider the size and weight of the camper as well as the towing capacity of the truck.

The 10′ U-Haul truck has a towing capacity of 1,500 pounds. This means that you can tow a small camper, such as one that is 5 feet long and weighs 1,000 pounds. If you plan on towing a larger camper, such as one that is 7 feet long and weighs 2,000 pounds, then you will need to use the 15′ U-Haul truck instead. The 15′ U-Haul truck has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds which will easily accommodate most medium sized campers.

The 20′ U-Haul truck has a much higher towing capacity than either of the other two models at 6,500 pounds. This means that you can tow almost any size or weight of camper with this model. However, it is important to note that this model does require an additional driver who must be over 25 years old in order for it to be used for towing purposes.

Conclusion:

It is possible to tow a camper with a U-Haul truck depending on its size and weight. The 10’ and 15’ models have limited capacities while the 20’ model can accommodate most sizes and weights but requires an additional driver who must be over 25 years old.
