Front wheels up? Not four down? More details about tow distance involved might be interesting. Blown motor or broke trans?

Tom Phipps,
Towed by flat bed.

Ron,

Despite all the answers, I still don't know whether the front frame has been
removed (we call it the "clip").

Without that frame in place, there is no structure in the forward 6'+ of the
GMC that can be used to attach towing equipment, nor to allow the coach to
be safely moved onto a trailer.

Please tell us your location; some GMCer nearby may be able to help you.
