Great looking rig, too bad it has the ugly growth on the front of it.
I had mine towed and it is an ugly experience. Looking at yours I hope you took off the rock guard at that angle looks like it could have been damaged.
I'm sentive to that situration as I ruined 4 before Fleetwood got it right on where and how to hang it. Mine cost $1250 to be towed 65 miles. It was under warranty
I will always have tow insurance just for that reason. It is staggering the cost of it
and I still wonder sometimes if the tow driver got the yoke backon and tighten correctly. Good Luck with yours

Are you saying while it was under warranty, it cost you $1250., or that was the figure it would of cost you, and now you always have tow ins?

Been there, Done that ....TWICE. Once west of Denver when we blew a tranny ($4000+) and once up in Pa due to an electrical problem ($350.00).......
WORD TO THE WISE..... If you have Steer Safe on your coach it usually is removed so they can hook up the ''Yoke'' under the front axle. Both times the operator either did not put it back on or they put it back on WRONG. When they put it back on WRONG I lost two of the four springs and didnt know it until it was too late. Now I supervise the replacement of the drive shaft and or the Steer Safe item and I refuse to sign the work order until it is done RIGHT. Both jobs are actually simple to do. With the STEER SAFE the springs need to be tight and the bolts that hold it on must be tight with some tension on the springs. Just ''ping them'' with a hammer and they should just slightly ''sing'' to you with no slack at all. As to the drive shaft they are more careful but I always check behind them to make sure everything is where it should be and the bolts are also tight.
I have unlimited towing from Allstate and they have lost their butts on me. About every year they spend more than they get from me. I have had it with them since the 80's.
that was my 2 cents worth........
I yield the soap box......
