Is it an automatic transmission or a manual?
With an automatic, you should remove the drive shaft. With a manual transmission, jut put the transmission and transfer case in neutral!
You will be much better off towing the truck on a trailer, rather than a tow dolly. With a tow dolly, you have two pivot points, which makes it a lot harder to back up. A trailer will also have brakes, and be easier to control. Some heavy duty Dolly's have brakes, but with a trailer you have double the braking power!

in case you’re searching for a relaxing, sight-seeing type motor vehicle, attempt a Land Rover Discovery. They made some in 2004 with an computerized transmission and a known handbook flow case (somewhat important because you could tow it countless form of miles). Plus the invention is a funky motor vehicle topersistent around it – variety of like a Jeep yet a splash greater stylish. It sits 4 human beings conveniently and the returned seating sits larger that the front seats so which you look over the driving force and shotgun-rider’s heads. We’ve towed different automobiles till now, yet this one is our standard!

Damage to the motorhome?? need more details on the motorhome. A diesel pusher can handle it no problem. A gas powered with 1 ton truck tranny will not if you use overdrive, the tranny will fry.
Make sure there are brakes on the dolly. That much weight will overload the motorhome brakes, especially on downgrades.
A lot of motorhomes are already at their max weight for the chassis, so towing a heavy load places it into a dangerous situation where brakes are concerned.

You should be able to put the transfer case in neutral and tow it with no problems. That is why a lot of people have a four wheel drive vehicle to tow behind their motor home.

I have 2 thoughts on this; #1 talk to your truck dealer ship and see what they say, or #2- remove the driveshafts from the truck before towing.
