Roadmaster Tow Bar 10 Years Or 70,000 Miles
Sent a e-mail to Roadmaster about getting my tow bar look at, told them it was 10 years old and I was told that it was time for a new one. Has any one heard of this before, 10 years or 70,000 miles...

Of course that is what they told you, but it has nothing to do with the expected life of the tow bar and such. It does have everything to do with liability. If somewhere in the paperwork they say that it has a service life of ten years and/or 70K miles (and they probably do), then somebody wrecks with a piece that over either one then they can stand up in court and say, "We told him it was over aged." That puts them in the clear.
I know my towbar has no build date or serial number because I sandblasted and painted it. So, how would they know? Unless they can find a sales record (good luck there, I the third owner that I know of), the only handle they have is the last date that model was sold.
