Mandalay 2006 Presidio, Manual

Page: 46 / 130

WARNING: In case the motorhome requires towing, ensure all precautions are
followed. The drive shaft must be disconnected and the mud flap may need
removed. The manufacturer WILL NOT cover damage to the motorhome
caused by a towing company.
WARNING: Never tow the motorhome at a speed greater than 50 mph. Never
allow anyone to ride in the motorhome while it is being towed. Make sure to
review the chassis owner’s manual for any additional requirements or
cautions concerning the towing of the motorhome.
When the motorhome needs towed for service it is recommended to use a lowboy/landall
type of trailer. If a tow truck is used it needs to have a support arm that goes under the
motorhome and secures to the front axle. Inform the tow company of the axle weights and
total weight of the motorhome. Other important information is the length of the motorhome,
number of passengers and mile-post location.
If the motorhome loses air pressure, it will be necessary to disable the parking brakes for
towing. Do not try to disable the brakes. The towing service will be qualified to cage the
brakes properly for transit. The following drawing is for reference only.
