The towing company may need to locate the air nipple to release the air
brakes. The air nipple is located on the roadside next to the generator and
should only be used by towing personnel. Generally, if the motorhome ever
needs to be towed, use the following instructions:
• Secure any loose or protruding parts if the motorhome
is damaged.
• Inspect points of attachment on a disabled
motorhome. If attachment points are damaged, select
other attachment points at a substantial frame struc-
tural member.
• Never allow anyone to go under a motorhome while it is
being lifted by towing equipment unless the disabled
motorhome is adequately supported by safety stands.
• Do not tow the motorhome from the rear. Towing
from the rear will cause the front tires and suspension
to be seriously overloaded, possibly resulting in a tire
or front suspension failure. Rear frame extensions are
not designed to withstand weight loads imposed by
lifting the rear of the motorhome.
• If rear wheels are disabled, place the motorhome on a
flat bed trailer or use a heavy duty dolly under the
rear wheels and tow from the front of the motorhome.
• The drive shaft must be removed to prevent damage
to the transmission.
WARNING: In the event the motorhome requires tow-
ing, ensure all precautions are followed. The driveline
must be disconnected and the mudflap may need to be
removed. When towing a motorhome equipped with the
HWH Air-Leveling System, the ignition MUST be left in
the ON position so that air suspension may operate.
Damage to the motorhome from a towing company will
not be covered by Monaco Coach Corporation.
• Block wheels securely before attempting this procedure.
• Remove the plug from the center rear brake chamber.
Save plug for reuse.
• Remove the caging tool from its holder on the rear
brake chambers and insert it into the hole. Turn the
tool clockwise to engage.
• Use a wrench to tighten the nut down, which com-
presses the internal spring, releasing the brake.
