Proper way to tow a Wanderlodge

[Pete Masterson]

Towing a WL is a difficult problem. My owner's manual refers to "towing hooks" that require removing part of the bumpers to reach. (It's pretty significant disassembly.) The older WLs (without the fiberglass end caps) _might_ have better tow connections at the front (check the owner's manual).

The transmission is not 'towable' without damage. So, you'd also need to remove the drive shaft between the transmission and the differential. The orientation of the drive shaft with the u-joints must be carefully noted and preserved as reconnecting in a different orientation may cause an unbalanced situation that can tear things apart when it's put back together.

It's generally advisable to "tow" a Wanderlodge on some sort of low-boy trailer.

my 85 PT40. I don't plan on having it towed but it would be nice to
know if the situation arises - it never hurts to plan ahead. And,
sometimes the tow truck folks don't know or think they know and they
are wrong.
