HELP! Tow Bar
I am shopping for Tow Bar and want to make sure I am buying the correct thing. There are some that look like they attach to a hitch but what I need to attach to MH is NOT that. Is this correct? ...

#3 is the towbar I used for many years on various Jeeps. It does EXACTLY the same job as the more expensive towbars, and does it well. I never found it all that difficult to hook up or unhook. In fact, I frequently did both by myself!
Now, I have a fancy towbar with telescoping arms, that folds up on the front of the truck, and has a 2 inch ball hitch. I don't find it all that much easier to use than the old fixed arm towbar.
But, that's just me, and everybody knows I am weird.
The old towbar was rated at 5000 lbs. and the Roadmaster is rated at 6000 lbs. which is probably better for towing the truck.
At least, that is the opinion of the "weight police".
Any of the three pictured towbars will do the job. Personally, I would rather have the ball hitch, but some people like the receiver mount things. Some people have had problems with the swivel on them breaking, but that is apparently rather rare.
It is your choice. good luck.
