It is fairly easy to hook up by yourself if you have a telescoping towbar. It doesn't matter whether it is a MH mounted(Roadmaster Falcon. or a toad mounted(Roadmaster Stowmaster).
I pull up straight behind MH to about the correct distance.
Lower towbar in my case a Roadmaster Stowmaster.
See if I am close enough to go over ball on MH. If not move car forward or back as needed.
Hook up ball, padlock ball latch safety chains and lights.
Get in toad, put in reverse so as to lock at least one of the arms.
In Toad, in my case put transfer case in neutral and transmission in park
Release parking brake.
Get in MH and pull forward somewhere around 50 feet and verify that the second lock has engaged.
Only takes a few minutes.
