hi group
about a year ago i bought a monaco dynasty on e bay from a dishonest rv dealer
jack conrad tryed to help me but when i had it towed to his house we found out
it had gone in a lake and the moter was full of water after fighting with e bay
and dealer i tryed to resell on e bay no luck so when we fly up from costa rica
to jacks bussin 09 we said lets ship it home to costa rica on jan 3 we fly home
and shiping tow guy was to pick up the next week did not pick up in till mid
abrail get to port in costa rica and the dock workers go on strke the shipping
company cant find my paper work i send 3 towing companys to remove from
dock and all tell you cant tow that its fiberglass and has no frame it will fall
apart if they try and move it funny i had it towed two times in fl. even showed
them picture off it being towed out of jacks house now i am being chared a arm
and a leg for storge based on weight at $ 6 a kilo per day then someone told
me to go see nano he will move it will post rest as reply
so i go see this guy and he said no proublum i cut the box off of a 48 ft
wrecked trailer so now i have a big flat bed this is 44 in off the ground
but i have no other way if it stays there till monday i will lose it foreever
so i told him give it a shot he called and said he looded it and was heading
up about 6 or 7 houres drive kind off think i wii have a choped top low rider
or all off costa rica will be without power if it makes it i will post pictures
say a prayer for us john & lidia
Good luck John - we want pictures when/if it arrives. :o
John, it certainly was towable. That is amazing they would think it couldn't be. Of course it did take a very large tow truck. Maybe those tow operators were just not equiped for it.
We will pray for its safe delivery to you without causing a national incident. Of course the real miracle lies ahead as you work to bring it back to life.
two macks and a frighliner said cant be towed what makes me worry is it got to be about 16 ft
tall loaded and there is a long tunnal on the way up to san jose will take pictures looks like all
my luck is bad luck hope that changes ouick will keep you posted
That is scary. Did you specifically talk about that tunnel with the one bringing it? I realize it is kind of catch 22. If he doesn't try you lose it anyway. Is there another route that would avoid tunnels or bridges without bypasses?

This coach is not a "stick & staple" construction design. It a very strong "bridge" framing along both side wall from floor up to under window. It builds like an intercity bus. So it can be towed with proper instruction from Monaco rep.
Here a graphic of the well build coach's frame (http://www.monacocoach.com/modelsxml/monaco.aspx?model=dynasty&content=construction). (left click)
Give them a call about towing instruction immediately before any more waste of your money.
All "stick & staple" rv motorhome have a rail frame chassis and it easily can damage from the twisting from very long towing under the front end.
Hope you get the help you need to get it home.
Sojourn for Christ, Gerald
We hope all the Best for you. M&C
