Thank you all. I looked up towing companies here and there is one that does heavy trucks and rv's. ill ask coach net if we can use them. I got stuck once at talladega and a little one ton wrecker pulled me out but he was able to hook on the back at the hitch. Not so now.
I'm sorry if I double posted. Didn't mean to.
NEVER attempt to pull out a stuck motorhome by having the wrecker hook up to the hitch! Remember that the hitch has a rating much, much lower than the weight of the motorhome! For example, my last coach had a 10,000 lb capacity hitch and weighed 50,000 lbs. Attempting to pull 50,000 lbs with it could make for a catastrophic failure and rip the hitch right off.
If the operator can get under the front, they can safely use a wheel lift to raise the front and pull it out. Also remember that the frame may be located up quite high (over the storage compartments) and many have a removable panel at the front that exposes a tow point on the frame.
