Just purchased an 05 Country Coach Allure 470. Apparently our 06 Toyota Tundra is not towable without a tow bar. We are considering renting a flatdeck trailer to tow it home, do you think this is our best option? Haven't looked into cost as yet.

Congratulations on your purchase. Country Coach has always been on our wishlist if we decided to go for a MH.
I would find a U-Haul and get a flatbed trailer. To setup a vehicle for towing wheels down takes some expertise and time to get everything you need. Plus you'll want to practice if you've never towed a vehicle before.

Thank you! As of now, I'm driving behind.

Maybe a tow dolly could be used. Can your vehicle be towed 2 wheels down?

No it cannot be towed with wheels on the ground, but someone has told us for around a thousand dollars we may be able to have a disconnect switch installed. Flatdeck or drive behind seems to be our only option.

What does the owners manual say about recreational towing of your vehicle? Sometimes the manual will tell you why the vehicle cannot be towed 4 down or 2 down and you can then search for remedies.
If replacing the vehicle with something that can be towed 4 down is out of the question, and you don't want to spend money on the drive-line disconnect, base plate, tow bar, and supplemental brake system, then I think flatbed trailer or drive behind are the lone choices.

I'm driving behind right now, but we will be looking for a toad, the JEEP seems to keep coming up. But we must keep our Toyota too! This tundra is FWD, but aparently can't be disconnected for towing. We don't have a manual for it.

The Remco Tow Site shows the 2006 Tundra 2WD cannot be towed, but the 4WD with automatic transmission can be outfitted for towing. Not sure what you mean by FWD, is that four wheel drive or front wheel drive?

Thanks very much for that website - yes our TT is a four wheel drive.
