I am moving from florida to Oklahoma and I am towing my vette behind my motor home on a dolly. if I do not disconnect the drive shaft is there a possibility of doing any damage to anything? it is a standard trans.

Personally, I'd NEVER use one of those dollies. A would opt for a trailer to put it on since you're traveling so far. The back end of those dollies tend to wonder around a bit and pulling one end of the car all that way just would make me a little nervous. If you must use the dolly, the safest bet would be to definitely disconnect the driveshaft.

Reason: typo
I believe I'd opt for the "ship it" also. The drive-shaft removal isn't a "piece of cake" and to do a "dolly transport" you would need to remove the C-beam and drive-shaft THEN reinstall the C-beam, dolly the car, remove the C-beam again, install drive-shaft and install the C-beam again. There is NO way around that procedure.
A C4 will fit a U-Haul with little effort if you insist on the towing yourself.
