Towing your Lazy Daze
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.

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