Default how to tow a 40' Tourmaster?

Hi everyone. After having traveled the Cassiar Highway leading from B.C. to the Yukon last summer, I have some questions in contemplating doing it again. This is a quite narrow highway with no centre line and without shoulders on the sides of the road. If one broke down and couldn't get going, it would be extremely hazardous to either leave the coach for help or to have to wait for however long for assistance. Having watched a 5 ton tow truck try to lift a diesel pusher by its hitch receiver and accomplish nothing but wrecking the hitch receiver, it occurred to me, what would one do if one needed a tow and didn't want to destroy the transmission. My coach is a 2000 40' Tourmaster grossing 35,000 pounds and with an Allison 6 speed automatic transmission. Any ideas how it can be towed? How big a wrecker would be needed and where and how could the coach be lifted? Thanx in advance for your ideas.
