A good tow driver will have the axle covers. Call and confirm with them before they leave the shop.

Quick question: when towing does he have to pull both sides axle shafts or only one?
Both sides are mandatory as the spider gears will really spin up with only one side pulled and they have plain bearings, not ball/roller. I called Dana-Spicer when this topic came up a couple of years ago and their engineering dept said damage could easily occur and may not surface for thousands of miles.

Axle caps are less than $40/set so good to have on board.

Got it towed ok this morning. Driver/tech was very diligent about everything. Will find out on Monday what the issue is.

Got the coach back today. They ended up diagnosing it as a bad Injector Control Valve, p/n 4089662RX. The also replaced the transient suppressor. 4 hours labor and back in business.

Glad to hear you are back in business!  What shop did the repairs?  Always good to know about competent shops in the area as I'm just south of Riverside down in in Menifee.  I used to live up in San Bernardino, and Colton Truck Terminal and Garage did all my previous service work.

The name of the shop is Interstate Fleet Maintenance in Southgate (link). They are a high volume shop mostly trucks but they work on at least one other forum member's Foretravel as well. This is the 2nd time I've had service done there. For any engine/chassis work I would definitely go back to them.
