Towed off pitch with a Fiat Comfortamatic semi auto gear box

[Rodders1234]

Is this doable? I see recently that several MH have had to be towed off pitch out of mud. If it is OK with the Comfortmatic how do we do it - do I put it in neutral and allow the MH to be pulled out without using our own traction? I have the front towing eye plus rear tow bar so could go forward or back. Thanks in anticipation.

That’s the way I would do it if I was stuck, I wouldn’t “drive” it if I was being towed

No problem been towed off a couple of times.

No problem when we had a comfortmatic gearbox.
We just put it in neutral.

Yep the manuals say to be in neutral if being towed.

Don't be tempted to put it into gear and assist the tow. You'll be putting weird torque through the wheels, perhaps unevenly from one side to other, so the thing can't work out how to match the clutch speeds to engine.

Thanks everybody, hopefully won’t need to be towed anytime soon but it’s really reassuring to know that it’s ok if needed.
