Anybody use a Reese Towbar?
They are inexpensive and rated for a 5000 lb load. Any experiences?

Mike there's not a thing wrong with "Reese" or another fixed A-Frame type bar AS LONG AS the toad end is properly mounted on the toad. Were I taking a several-day trip to a place I'd stay several months, then hitch the toad up and return home, I'd gladly use one. Jeepers love them and many RVers and car transporters use them.
But it's very difficult to hitch to your coach as driver only no helper spotter and the toad has to be positioned "Just So" to get the coupling on or off the ball. It's like hitching to a trailer that you can't juggle side to side or front to back to get the hitch to couple. Telescoping bars allow you to get within a few inches, couple, and then back away to lock the bars into ...an A-Frame.
