I know it may be a bit of work, but would it be possible to take the axles out of the knuckles, separate the cv joint, put the axles back in the hub, tie the other end of the cv joint up and clear of everything, and then flat tow the coach for hundreds or even thousands of miles? After you get where you are going, take it all apart again, clean and grease the cv joint, and put it all back together.
I ask in case someone ever needs to transport one that they can't get running. There are bound to be people out there like me that have access to a truck with adequate towing capacity, but no trailer. Or the weight of the coach AND a trailer would exceed their towing capacity of their truck, but a coach by itself wouldn't.
