The best tow package question

Hello everyone,
I just purchased a 2012 Jeep unlimited and I need to know the best tow package to purchase for my Tiffin Allegro 35QBA. I am going to get the internal bracking package (wired) and I've heard the Blue Ox a is decent tow bar. Can anyone advise about the best tow package and the approximate cost. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

  • IMO, there is no "best", there is merely what YOU like!
    Get a system that won't bust YOUR budget, and is convenient for YOU to use.
    choose wisely, because you will probably be stuck with it if you don't like it.
    Good luck.
  • The best value (and probably best performing) is the Ready Brake Elite system---------a well built and easy to use towbar combined with a non-electrical brake system.

    that is why I wanted and used one with levers to release, not slip rings. easier to apply pressure to release when needed.

  • get a tow bar that stays on the rear of the motorhome and has levers, not slip rings, to release it. I used a blue ox myself, among others.

  • I prefer the Roadmaster as it is 100% USA made. Both Blue OX and Roadmaster are very good alternatives. I believe the connection process with the Roadmaster EZ Base plate is easier.

    I have the Roadmaster Stowmaster tow bar with the EZ baseplate and Roadmaster wiring kit. I do not need to disconnect my toad battery when towing.

    I have the Roadmaster Brakemaster proportional braking system which uses the air brakes on my coach to apply the toad brakes proportionally to the coach brake.
