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.

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. (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.
