I recently purchased a 1989 Winnebago Chieftain 28'. I want to use the Taco as a tow car for use when we get wherever we are going. It's a 2WD w/AT. Years ago I towed my Ranger across country behind a U-Haul and I remember having to disconnect the drive shaft. Does anyone have experience towing your Taco? Tips, tricks? Absolute no-no's? Attached is a pic of the tow hitch on the RV. Thanks!

Yeah, I have heard (never actually done it though) that you have to take off the drive shaft. Perhaps others will have more info that have actually done it.
