Either put it on a full trailer or buy a tow bar and pull it 4-wheels
on the ground.

If it's a straight axle conversion (IRS) then pull the drive axles out
and you don't have to worry about it slipping into gear.

But, 4 wheels on the ground, even if it does slip into gear all that'll
happen is a rapid, unexpected stop. Pull the plugs and you will
significantly reduce that effect as well (no compression). Those tow
dollies have a movable top plate so if the bus slips into gear while on
a dolly it's liable to twitch sideways and cause major issues.

Ask anyone on the list if I know anything about towing a (Bay Window)
bus. <grin>
