You've probably made final arrangements for transportation, but if you have not, consider this kind of transportation for your coach.

I think it is called a "flatbed landau". Guys...correct me if I'm wrong.

I have towed my coach twice this way and seems to me to be the safest way, and did not cost that much more. "On the Hook" can be very hard on rear suspension parts. If you raise the rear to high to keep the tail from dragging, you risk breaking in some way the shock absorbers or their mounts. Tow low and you scrape the tail. When lifting the front lots of weight is transferred to the rear so both adjustments for travel on the hook go to the extreme while bouncing around going down the road. Short distances going slow, the "Hook" which I include lifting the front wheels, can work IF you have a conscientious driver...at times hard to find. JMHO
