Most of the rules for towing are for cars with
automatic transmissions. Which if towing for a
long distance the driveshaft should be disconnected,
because of the torqe converter. Manual transmissions
are like coasting in neutral. Jeeps have the luxury of
having a transfer case that you can put into neutral
which disconnects everything. I've towed numerous vehicles
behind the motorhome for 20 years now. Havent lost one
yet.

the rule is yes
but i don't see why
i don't see how it can hurt any more than if you drove
it the same distance as you towed it
