The owner's manual describes towing but pictures are worth many words. I had to have our 30' towed. The towing was scheduled so I had a relaxed chance to talk to the tow operator and take some photos. This wasn't done along a busy Interstate highway with cars and trucks flying by at 80 mph so it was a good opportunity to do this. For those of you who learn better by seeing it done, here are some pictures that demonstrate a proper Lazy Daze tow.
- To start, this tow operator knows what he is doing. I talked to him before he even started and he knew exactly what is required. He told me he has towed several Lazy Daze motor homes in the past. I made sure I communicated clearly what was needed when the order was placed. (Front tow from lifted wheels, no bumper attachments, drive shaft disconnected)
-A picture of the proper size and configuration of the tow truck needed to get the job done right.
- The front wheels are cradled in a frame then strapped to the frame for security.
- The operator will lift the front quite high to give himself clearance to crawl under your Lazy Daze to disconnect the drive shaft.
- A rear light bar will be placed on your Lazy Daze for braking and signaling from the tow truck; in this case, wireless.
- The front end will be lowered to the proper level for towing and allowing good clearance at the rear.
There you have it. A proper Lazy Daze tow in pictures.

Picking the front wheels up seems a lot simpler than loading the rig on a flat-bed truck, as long as a big enough tow truck is available, that was a large truck.
Thanks for the photos.

And cheaper. ;)
The right tools for the job. If I may be nosy, what was the break down.
