Can you confirm this is from a 2004 manual please?

The information I have been able to gather is that the proper procedure which this manual confirms is that yes it can be towed all four flat if the transfer case is in neutral AND the main transmission box is in Park. The last part about it being in park did not make since to me until I talked to a Land Rover Mechanic who told me that the oil moving from the drive shafts would turn the transmission while moving even if the transfer case is in neutral and so you must put the transmission in park to lock down the transmission gears from turning in an un-lubricated state avoiding damage to the transmission parts.

In any case...I will follow the manuals directions that you provided (I don't currently have one). I do have the rave download but it doesn't address this issue.

Question: If the key is in position 1...will this just not record the mileage while being towed...or will it damage something else? I would think it would be a good thing as you need the mileage to be correct between oil/transmission changes...the only wear on the Disco while being towed is bearings and, shocks and tires.

Thanks again for your help and responses

But your front pump will not be turning because the converter is not locked up, so your fluid will not be getting cooled. That is what causes most tranny to get fried when towed behind RV, some RV onwer's actually add and electric pump to the tow vehicle in order to circulate the tranny fluid while towing automatics.
