We had our 38 Monarch towed when the rad got damaged by a piece of road debris. The tow truck driver tried to pull the axel but didn't have the proper seal so he removed the drive shaft. Hooked up to the front of the coach and towed us thirty miles to a repair shop without any problems. The bus sits fairly close to the ground without air presure in the bags so you need to watch out for clearance at the exhaust and tow hitch. I have a roller under my hitch so that helps. I used the front jacks to lift the coach for him to get the tow arm under the front end.
Other than the driver dropping my universal joint and loosing the bearings everthing went very well.

ED.
