Default Towing the Saturn Vue

I just purchased a 2008 Saturn Vue to tow behind my motorhome, all four tires on the ground. I have previously towed a Mercury Mountainer. I am an experienced RVer.

I read the procedures in the owners manual but I wonder if there are any updates to the pre-towing procedure.

Any help would be appreciated.

The instructions should be complete, however, I do have a question --> are you planning to connect to and utilize the brakes on the VUE to assist in stopping?

I use the Breake Buddy system for stopping while towing. Why do you ask?

BrakeBuddy is a good system. The reason I asked, is because a lot of RV'ers are unaware of the laws requiring braking assist when towing a vehicle behind your rig. Not throwing any rocks, just wanting to be sure you were safe ...
