I am asking this question here since I didn't get any replies in the towing forum. I apologize if you read this before.I am looking to install a Currie JK tow mounting kit in my 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited to be able to flat tow behind my 34 foot Itasca Sunflyer. Currie's website and instructions say that the Currie plate works with Blue Ox, DrawTite, Valley and Friedl tow bars but doesn't mention Demco by name. Since this is my first experience towing, I want to know if anyone has any experience with a Currie tow plate and Demco tow bar combo. It looks like it should work or may require an adapter, but I want to know if anyone has used these two products together and what they think.Thanks!

I haven't heard of Currie but there's a lot of things I haven't heard of. I'm curious why you don't stay with all one company's product. If you mix products and a problem arises there's a chance company A will say it's company B causing the problem and Company B will say it is company A causing the problem. So my advice to a new person towing is: Stay with one company for all parts.

I've got no problem switching brands in a towing setup. Most have adaptors available to make that switch. My baseplate on my toad is a Blue Ox and my tow bar is a Ready Brute. My tow bar use to be a Blue Ox until it got damaged and was out of warranty. The ReadyBrute has a lifetime warranty. Have heard of Demco tow bars, but would not pick that one because it is set up for a ball hitch, and most motorhomes have a hitch receiver and not a tow. Have not heard of Currie as it must be a Jeep enthusiast thing. I think there are cheaper ways of doing it for you, but you should check on the Dingy Discussion Forum

I did post in the dinghy discussion forum but didn't get any replies. I appreciate the responses!! Good points to consider so far.

I guess because no one is familiar with the base plate brand you are asking aobut. In the RV world, it is Blue Ox, Roadmaster, and Demco for baseplates. I have noticed that Jeep guys who tow with their motorhomes do some different towing setups. There are only 31 matches on two pages.http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/search/parms/sw%7BCurrie%7D%7Ckm%7Bexact%7D%7Ckl%7Bm%7D%7Cfm%7B%7D%7Cpd%7B365%7D%7Cma%7B%7D/sr/1.cfm

Probably true, wny_pat. I am a Jeep guy and know a bit about he additional options that are available for Jeeps that a typical toad wouldn't have available. I like the Currie base plate option since it doesn't require modding the existing Jeep frame or skid plates, it is basically a replacement skid plate that has tow bar mounts in front. It is simple to self-install and will look like an OEM product.
