I still don't understand why the consensus is that the tow bar stays attached to the motorhome. It seems to me that it might be easiest (fewer connections to mess with) if one were to disconnect the safety chains, pull the receiver pin, slide the whole thing out of the receiver and just fold it up. I could understand the aesthetics given that you would have a big tow bar to view through the toad windshield when driving around, but that still seems easier than leaving it on the motorhome.
Weighs too much, too many moving parts, cables, etc. to leave on TOAD. I've had the ReadyBrute since 2011. Works great, definitely would never want to drive the TOAD around with it just attached to the TOAD.
Pretty darn positive it wasn't designed to be done that way -- as others have said, NSA sells a cover that covers the arms while the rest is attached to the MH.
