Instructions for Towing Co.- 2001 U270

Greetings to all.

In the event that someday I need to have my 34', 2001 U270 towed-

1. Are there specific instructions which need to be given to a towing company prior to their sending help?

2. If yes, has anyone taken the time to post a list of things to tell Coach-Net, etc. to make sure the coach will not be damaged from improper methods?

I was thinking the bulkhead may lead to some special considerations.

Thank you for any information.  I just thought I would try to get this ready in my file prior to actually needing a tow.

Best to all.

The axels need to be pulled or the driveline needs to be disconnected. The easiest is to pull the axels
and it would be smart to have a set of axel covers. My coach had them when I bought it so I not sure
where to get them but I'm sure someone will step up with that in formation. The air line hookup should
be in the propane tank area.

The thread linked below "covers" the subject pretty well:
