Question(s) for all: Towing. 1. Does any part of the drive train need to be disconnected to tow this with two wheels on the road? Four wheels? Why would I ask? The fine folks at AAA have been unable to connect me with a tow service that is capable/willing to move this 24' vehicle. (Save one, that wanted $1000 for the 23 mile trip.) Which leads us to question 2. Am I limited to semi-truck heavy-haul tow trucks to get this tow done? Pardon the rookie questions, but at 24' and 11,000 lbs a mega-tow-truck hardly seems warranted.
Both RVs in sig had to be towed in last few years. Class C and then the truck with camper on it. They used a "medium duty" like here -scroll down-
https://www.totemtowing.com/our-fleet/With the truck and camper, Good Sam asked if the camper was on it because they thought it would be too high on a flat bed to go under wires and bridges. Be too high with a Class C too maybe.
The tow truck has big bar things on each side out back to clamp the front wheels and lift them off the ground. They took the pins out of the drive shaft at the back underneath. (Makes sure the driver doesn't leave afterwards with those pins still in his pocket! :) )
Had to pay extra per GS rules for going farther than the nearest garage, but it sure wasn't $1,000.
Watch they don't lift the front so high the back of the RV will be too close to the ground, depending on the terrain en route.
