I believe the "towing" mileage is related to the rear end for a proper marriage of the ring and pinion gears.
Having said that, class C MH seem to do it just fine.
I myself use what the manufacture recommends. Sounds like a good reason to call in sick for a nice road trip :B
I'm with 45. I'd take it for a 100 mile road trip at varying speed on day 1. A 400 mile road trip on day 2 (varying speed again) to wear in the diffs and then hook and tow. But to answer your question directly, an easy 20 mile pull is not going to hurt anything.
X3...I'd go by what the manufacturer recommends...It's more for breaking in "other components, not necessarily the engine, it is, as stated, already "broken in"..
I'd look at the Owners manual...there is a lot of information in it that one may need to know "down the road"...I drove first 500 miles as recommended and then towed, as recommended, got almost 12,000 trouble free miles...can't argue with that:)
Make sure you check out the diesel supplement..it's even handier:)
