Just an update on our towing issue:
We had 4 different trucks sent to tow our little motorhome in for service. The first three said it was going to be impossible to tow it without damage. The motorhome sits so low to the ground, making the rear drag if the front is lifted even a foot. They expressed concern that the back lacked a way to support the weight of the coach if lifted from the rear.
The 4th truck to come was another flatbed. They felt they could probably lift the rear slowly to get it on the truck, but it made the height about 15ft. Questions about clearances on bridges, powerlines, and lots of tress that hang over the roads in the area. We were really concerned about potential damages to our new motorhome! It would have been hit by lots of low tree limbs at best.
Since the coach was still driveable (but not the safest), we decided to attempt the drive to the service center 30 miles away. Went super early in the morning before traffic, drove 25-30mph, and MADE IT safely!
Hopefully we will not have to be in a situation needing towing again. Surely there is a way to safely tow these small sprinter motorhomes? ??
