Doe it not say in the owners manual that they can be towed up to a certain
speed...something like 30 mph ?? They would have said higher if it was ok to
do so. I looked at towing my P6B behind a motorhome with a tow dolly...I
looked it up at that time and found out it needed to have the drive shaft
disconnected. I even considered installing a drive shaft that can be engaged
by a lever control while not being towed.
My mercedes was also not able to be towed for the same reasons...they need
oil circulating while the gears are operating.
Regards
Dennis
