That's good news! So yeah, he's going to need something that lifts it by the front wheels. - BurbManExplorer IINo, read the other post, he is unstuck, but was difficult due to no tow hooks on the front of the MH.

Are you still stuck in the mud?
Sounds like it. And it sounds like it's going to be a costly recovery. They're not going to be able to yank it out by lifting it by the front wheels - it will tear them off if it's sunk in the back up to the frame. - mike_brezExplorerLike this

Is there any way to pull( a 2002 Monaco Class A 40 foot PBD diesel pusher) I can not find a tow hook is there anything anyone knows that can help
The way motorhome and motorcoach's are "pulled" is by lifting them up from the front axle. The large wreckers with the lifts on the rear are built for this. You'll not find anything on the frame and pulling on the axle while it is on the ground leaves you open to tearing it off.
Also you need to manually release and hold the spring breaks. - Tow trucks must have the type that picks the wheels.
Towing via a chain or strap can cause extensive damage to front fiber glass.
I would make a call to Monaco to verify.
