If you had a bigger MH/DP I'd say no problem contrary to what others will post. Because of the huge amount of rear overhang on your 32' MH I'd recommend renting a dolly with surge brakes and try it. Use the seat belt to lock the steering wheel, not just the steering wheel lock. You will hear that you cannot do it because of the caster/camber/toe-in being wrong with it going backwards. Might want to click on "How I tow" below and with over 75K miles of being backwards there are no adverse affects of doing this. A vehicle on a dolly backwards is not as stable as one on the normal way.
OP, my concern is that doing this could increase the amount of wag you will get from this combo hence renting a dolly first. At 45 mph clear of other traffic give the MH some left/right steering input. If you immediately go back to straight ahead without any wag, then try it again with even more L/R. As long as the tail does not want to wag the dog then I'd go for it. If the wag does not stop on it's own then you have too much overhang and too much tail to do this safely. Your Silverado is plenty big even if you could tow it four down.
