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

^^^ That Roadmaster Tracker at least connects to standard Roadmaster brackets. I have "XL" series which was their standard for years.
The points I'm trying to make are:
1. Most modern vehicles (Versa, other unit bodies) require a base plate, not just a simple connection to a Bumper or Frame (like a Jeep for example)
2. Any towbar from cheap to expensive has to connect safely to the baseplate
3. Unless the RV owner is a welder/fabricator (or has one who will work at little to no expense), cost of adapting steel items not originally designed to work together will approach or exceed the cost of commercial components
