It's no different than towing a lifted Jeep, only heavier. Is your coach rated to tow it weight? Use a step up receiver hitch so that the tow bar is level to 2" higher at the rear of the tow vehicle. Have done it many times years ago. A friend towed his lifted Jeep with the tow bar 4-5" lower at the MH. No aux brake on the toad and an emergency stop on the Phoenix freeway caused the jeep to climb up into the rear of his coach. $8500 worth of damage and a ruined trip to Moab. It's critical to get the tow bar level and a good aux brake system for the toad.
