Towing question..

[Janalee]

A couple of years ago we had a wheel bearing burn out on one of our Sunnies--it needed to be towed-but the company that came and tried to put it on a rollback,tried to drag it up onto the platform by hooking a chain around the hitch and dragging it with the power jack in the down position! Well this just wasnt going to happen in my opinion! I looked at the rear and the bumper was dragging! I stopped the whole procedure -he left-I luckily found someone to come and make a temp repair to get it into their facility (NOTE: Black's Tire service in Florence,SC.-GREAT people!GAVE US A SPOT TO STAY TWO NIGHTS W/WATER/ELEC/and wifi) Anyway, now I am paranoid when I leave on a trip,as I will be doing next week to head south for the winter--so--have any of you been towed successfully by some method? If so, please respond ASAP. We all know Sunnies are slung low and that can be a problem..By the way, this happened in a super driving rain on I-95 in SC near a rest area. Thank heavens it was raining so hard that I pulled in to wait and discovered the smoking wheel and lots of damage --the hard rain saved the TT from burning down behind us! Janalee

First, have the bearings inspected and packed. That will go a long way toward keeping that from happening again.

I am happy to say I have never had that problem. I do recall seeing pictures some time back where Kitty had a problem and the Sunny was put on a flatback. I seem to recall it took a little doing to get it on the flatback.

OK, I found the thread from 8-9-07 with pictures. Kitty had to back in onto the tow truck bed.

Kittys' OUCH, again !!!!

Kitty had quite an ordeal, but everything turned out great.. If you want to know how to get a TT on a rollback, check out Kitty's thread..
