Unhooking the bar from toad will make heck of the job to hook it back in.
Unfortunately the idea comes with need for crawling under the camper, but I have to crawl for my camera and electrical cord hookups when I drop the camper and it is not such a big deal. Did not have to do it during the rain thought.
How many times you load/unload camper compared to hook/unhook?
And do you use the toad with the bar hanging on the front? If so will the longer bars still work?
I may not have the details right, but my understanding is; For a towbar to work it must pivot up and down at both ends. And at one end, normally front, must pivot side to side so you can turn. And the bars and front of toad make a triangle. To telescope, change the length of side of triangle, then the ends of that arm must have a pivot side to side, movement that is locked out when bars are locked in length. So the end should have enough movement to pin bars to toad with the other end held in place. I think it might be easier if you only need to lift one end of one bar.
