..Towpal does seem pretty cool, but not sure its worth the $$, for nothing more than a message forwarding system. As already alluded to, there are cheaper ways to accomplish the same thing.
As to the specific circumstance here: Thats why most MHs are equipped with rear view camera and monitor. One glance at the rear view monitor should have made it very clear that something was VERY wrong with the tow bar, and an immediate stop to check it out was in order.
Anyway, glad it all worked out in this case, and that Blue Ox is taking care of it. :)
