Default Trailering a C5 behind a motorhome?

Has anyone successfully trailered their C5 behind a motorhome using a tow dolly or other non-enclosed type of towing device?

Seeking advice, suggestions. TIA.

I don't think you could get the vette on the tow dolly because of the low slung front end. We tow a Camry sometimes, and it scrapes a little as it goes up. Just my experience with it.

I tow mine behind my motorhome on a rollback trailer made by Kwikload with a wind faring. No issues with that trailer easy to load with no assistance. http://www.kwikload.com/

Default Towing a C5

Because the Corvette is a rear wheel drive does it have to put be it on backwards (rear first)? What else needs to be done to tow it? The tow dolly is a two wheeled, single axle tow dolly with a ball hitch.

I've towed mine behind my motorhome in a enclosed trailer, never on a dolly of any type.

I would only tow it on a trailer, not a tow dolly

I do believe that the manual states, All Four Wheels must be off the ground...and if you don't believe or think different, then just look at the video circling around about the Vette, destroyed by an incompetent tow driver who attempted to tow one with just two wheels off the ground.....
