Exclamation Urgent question about hauling a Trailmanor

After saving up and looking for a long time we have finally purchased a 2003 3124KB. It is located close to 1800 miles away from us so we are paying to have it shipped to our home using the uShip service. One of the shippers said that he can haul it on his 3 car/4 truck trailer. He has the lowest bid for the shipment. Not only that, but if he hauls it on his trailer, then the tires, wheels, bearings etc. will have that much less wear.

The question I have that the shipper asked is: "Is there a problem hauling the Trailmanor backward on the bed of the trailer?" Since the camper overlaps as it is closed, if it is hauled backwards then the air would be hitting into that seam.

I am hoping for advice from owners out there that are more familiar with how clamped down the Trailmanor is when it is closed than I am. Would hauling a Trailmanor backwards down the highway be problematic with the wind resistance? Would the wind possibly cause the trailer to pull up or put unbearable strain on the latching system?

Thanks for your reply. We need to make a decision on the shipper soon, so any input would be much appreciated.
