NO!!!!!!!!!!!
yes... If you place the transfer case in neutral. The problem with towing automatic transmission vehicles, is that the transmission is not operating, therefore the pump is not pumping fluid throughout the tranny. This results in melted seals & seized brass bushings, because the output shaft is turning, but no oil is present. However, the transfer case is located after the tranny. Placing the transfer case in neutral will disengage the tranny from the drivetrain, and the truck will free-roll. On 2 wheel drive vehicles, you would have to remove the driveshaft & plug the tail of the tranny with a plastic shipping plug (prevents fliud leakage)
The above answer is correct, but if you simply unbolt the driveshaft to the rear wheels, wrap the universal joint with duct tape and secure the drive shaft to the frame or exhaust with sturdy wire, you can tow it a jillion miles without harm. This saves having to pull the drive shaft from the tranny or obtaining a shipping plug as he suggests.

Can you tow a 2011 Chevy z71 behind a RV?
If you're talking about flat towing, the only way you could do this without removing the driveshafts is if you have either a manual transfer case, or the four button electronic transfer case with the ability to put the transfer case into neutral. Otherwise, no, unless you want to replace a transmission.

How do you find the transmission on a Chevy Avalanche?
What part of it do you want to find?? If you look underneath your truck you will find the back of the motor ususally near the drain plug for the oil. You will see a big aluminum circular part, which is the transmission, the bottom of it will have a pan with many bolts that hold it on and behind it will be the transfer case which has two driveshafts coming out of it assuming your vehicle is a 4x4 which i believe all Avalanches are.
