Well as I said the only problems I've had. I will list them
Original base plate install the installer DID NOT follow directions.. not Blue Ox's fault. they said to use locktite on the threads.. We found several lost or missing bolts. Base plate not damaged. no damage to car either caught it in a visual inspection.
2: I lost the receiver pin on the rv.. I believe I know how it happend but do not wish to explain (it is convoulted) again NOT blue Ox's fault.. But Blue Ox replaced the tow bars for me no charge they even paid for me to ship the old one back.. They offered to pay damages to the towed if it was determined to be their fault (I told them it was not.. they finally agreed with me, and yes, I have the training to know the difference).
3: I am now using roadmaster safety cables.. I really like Roadmaster safety cables but installed them backwards (with the clips at the car instead of the RV cause they won't clip onto the RV without modification.. Of course I had to "Modify" the car too (mending link on the attachment hole) the blang things knocked the spring pins out of the tow pins. DID NOT LOOSE TOW PIN.
Turned the tow pins around so the spring pins are away from the cables. No problem.
