Having it towed, from the front , with drive line disconnected, not necessarily removed. Make sure the towing company is familiar with MH towing,
I said disconnect, as opposed to removed, the rear of the transmission will leak fluid if the drive line is removed for the transmission. The would remove the bolts from the universal joint at the differential, then secure the drive shaft to the frame.
On most motor homes. Heck on my Jeep. the drive shaft is sectional (Kind of surprised me on the jeep) and they only remove the rear most section. the section that goes into the tranny remains in place held by the carrier bearing 30' drive shafts are a pain to make very expensive way cheaper to make two 15 foot or 3 10 foot sections and add the extra bearings Spline joints and U-Joints.
