I'm not near my coach... So I cant look at this...
What holds the side skirts on? I need to know so I can bring whatever tools needed to remove them before I have it towed from its current location...
Anyone know of a good inexpensive towing company that tows these things other than AAA? I live in Puyallup, WA. and need to tow it about 35 miles...
Thanks,

Two screws on the top where they attach to the body, two small 7/16" bolts on the bottom where they attache to the flexible mount.

For the bottom connection to the boggie, my T-skirts had a rubber tongue that extended into the boggie area. There is a blank tapped hole on the boggie that was used to secure the T-skirt.
When I re-installed the T-Skirts after the installation of L. Harrison's rear suspension, I just used some industrial rubber belting to extend the tongue to the mounting bolt.
The top is just using lag bolts.

I successfully held the t-skirts on with the large bulldogs clips from an office supply house. Temporary fix that turned out very permanent.

Inform the tow co. that you have a 11,000 lbs. 26 ft. motorhome with FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. Have them send a med size ow truck that lift the front by the bottom of the tires.
I never had to remove or have told anyone to emove any of the skirts.
It is always wise to inflate the rear and raise it 2-3 inch so the rear has less chance of dragging when going over rain dips.

And before they tow it, get the air bags/rear suspension up as high as it will go, if you are towing by lifting the front wheels.
