Manufacturer does not recommended my 2008 Galant tow a 760 dry wt camper? Is that so, or just a recommendation? If towing is OK, what hitch kit should I use, and engine/frame care is needed?

154,912 miles mostly highway miles driving from NC to VA, SC, GA, TN. Not

Do not even attempt it, front wheel drive cars are not good vehicles to tow anything. With that kind of mileage the increased load would most likely burn something up like the transmission. Rent a moving van and a trailer and trailer the car. That's my recommendation.

My galant was involved in a flood there is signs of water in the truck but don't think there is damage under the hood. I recharged the battery and the dash lite up can't get key to turn in switch 1 answer

I would like to give the car to my grandson. It's been sitting up for at least 8 months since the flood. I decided to get rid of it but before I did I got the battery charged up. The door ding works...
