Hi everyone, we are looking for some suggestions on purchasing a towbar.
Several years ago we bought a 2000 Holiday Rambler and had the Blue Ox towbar installed to haul our Honda CRV. It worked well, but the Blue Ox was very stiff to handle and very heavy. I don't know if all Blue Ox towbars are like that but we dreaded hooking it up every day.
We sold that motorhome in 2009 and recently purchased a 2011 Winnebago Adventurer. Once again, we are looking to purchase a towbar. Someone we met mentioned the Falcon but there is no dealership near us (we live in RI). My husband's back is not good (and neither is my own). We want something reliable, but fairly easy to hook up.
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. We do not want to go with a dolly. Thank you for your time. Christine
Not sure I'm getting this with the weight and are you not leaving the bars on the coach?
Anyway, our choice has been the NSA READYBRUTE/ELITE that comes with a simplified toad braking system, is all Alum. and rated at 8K lbs.
Order online and have a hitch shop install it for you, if not able to do so, yourself. Depends on your toad for the base plate and with our Wrangler, we feel that DEMCO is the best. Your bars will come with the proper adapters already installed for the base plate.
