Since we are now paying for our new to us 2015 Tiffin Allegro 36LA, I'd like to tow our '04 Accord 4 down for now. Despite it's age the car is in great shape and I'd to avoid making another payment. The owner's manual gives instructions on emergency towing but indicates not to exceed 50 miles.
Remco indicates the following disclaimer:
?Officially from both Honda and REMCO the vehicle is not towable. However, we at Remco have a large number of customers who are flat-towing that vehicle behind their Motor Home and they are not having any issues. Follow the "Emergency Towing" procedures in the owner's manual to a "T" except ignore the restrictions and follow those procedures each and every time you tow. NOTE: If you choose tow your Honda, and have any damage to the Transmission as a result, you will have to pay for that expense out of pocket. It is nothing that Honda or Remco will warranty. Also, it should be noted that Remco sells no aftermarket product (Lube Pump or otherwise) to make this car towable.
So basically they are indicating to ignore the 50 mile limitation. Has anyone else had a similar restriction indicated by their owner's manual and had Remco indicate to ignore it??? If so what was your experience??? Has anyone towed an '04 Accord??? Open to any other thoughts or suggestions too.
