Proper way to tow a Wanderlodge

This worries me too. You may want to be prepared by carrying

machined/drilled aluminum plates and gaskets to seal off the hub

area. I wonder if these "caps" are available from some vendor?

Stephen, here's a new product line idea.

Never remove the axle tube rods and tow these units. You
risk getting sand in the tubes and pumpkin. You can not cover or seal
them effectively. If you must move the coach, you must drop the drive
shaft of you tow for any distance more than 15 to 20 miles. Any amount
of sand in the differential will be fatal right quick to the gears,
shims and bearings and it will never come out. Short distance towing
is ok with a front lift truck but long distance must be done on a
lowboy or roll away bed.

Remove axle shaft???? is this in lue of removing a drive
line? May be

this is done so the tow driver doesnt have to crawl under the bus?

The rear is not allison so I cant see where they predict damage at

the rear to demand you render motorchoach rear not moving during a

tow????? Plus what lubes the hubs when you remove the axle shaft. you

will need to displace the lost volumn of the metal of the shaft to

get oil up to the hub?



For me I would pull the bus to a parking lot with a chain off a tow

truck (you need a tow truck for compressed air)then call a mobil

truck repair tech to determine that repair required the bus be shop

stored. When things go to a shop most of the hours it is there is

just parking effort. Mobil tech are working on your bus every hour

they are there.
