Proper way to tow a Wanderlodge
You don't need to remove the generator crossbar if the tow truck has the long extension forks to put on the lift, I had my PT40 towed this way and the guy had different length extension forks to exend from the lift arms up to the front axle, thisallowed him to stay clear of the generator crossbar.

Seems like the opinions vary a great deal. I thought it would be important to know this just in case. And, knowing I need to remove the crossbar is important as well. I assume removing the crossbar isn't going to allow the tow gear from crushing the generator.
