The RAC won't tow a T25 with a bar, rope or those wheel lifting things, always on a truck. Too big.

I have been towed twice by the AA using a bar. However I would not risk 150 miles, and I dont think they would - it would have to be a flatbed taking you to your destination.

As before (campers thread) not definitive but one legal view from the ask the police website,

Would it be worth a link from the wiki to this site :?:

We were towed by a t4 AA van (oh the shame) on a towbar off the m69
onto the m1 to liecester froprest east, bout 20 miles......hard shoulder, at about 55
I suspose this is the "unsafe place" rule, cos we then waited for the big truck with the flashing lites
