i dont think so, i know there is some speed limits you cant exceed and i would imagine you would have to remove the front drive shaft , possibly both, and i would buy some sort of steering wheel lock device

You would need a way to disconnect all 4 wheels from the drivetrain, or else you might cause damage.
Although I never understood how that could cause damage...

Yes you can because you have a '95 you should have a floor shifter. If so when you put it in neutral(not the tranny) you disconnect the both front and rear axles from the rest of the drive train. Just beware to only shift the tcase to neutral after it it is rigged to rv and secure. Because the only thing holding the truck still is level ground(I hope) and your foot on the brake. And remember to release parking brake on truck if used before driving tv. There are no speed limits except in relation to the towing equipment itself.

No drive axle disconnection needed but keep track of mileage for more frequent service fluids in tcase and axles compare to rest of vehicle not used as much. A quality towing kit should have everything you need including wiring up the hoe tail lights to interface with the tv.

amazon sells some but obviously a good rv center would be best to consult with first for your needs. since it is your first.

You can put the push button transfer cases in neutral as well. I had to on my 99 when my sunshell erupted and locked up the tranny. I believe you just put the tranny in neutral, apply brake, and hold down 2hi and 4lo buttons for five seconds. I guess all the obs trucks are towable!

Only e-shifters that are np8 nv246 tcase starting in '98 can do that. The '96-'97 np1 nv243 can not. It sucks but '96-'97 lost the neutral option.

I was going to say: "Read the owners manual!" that kind of stuff is in there for this purpose. But then the encyclopedia chimed in and everything is good.

Hopefully one day my autocrap will be replaced with a floor shifted t-case.

HEY!, who you calling encyclopedia, book excerpt!
oh and when it does you have an open invite to send me all the components you replace. i am working on a design modification for the np1 nv243 system. I want to convert it to the np8 nv246 auto4wd autotrac system. I could use all the parts i can get donated to keep costs low.

I'll keep that in mind, though it likely won't be for a while, I've got other things going on, like school all next year.
