We used a Reese rigid arm tow bar hooked to an aftermarket bumper on our 2009 Jeep wrangler for over 3 years. DW would pull the jeep up to the back of the MH while I guided the tow bar onto the 2" ball at the back of the MH. Many times I wondered if my life insurance was up to date as we had a manual transmission in that jeep, and the DW is not good at manual/clutch/etc. We actually used a riser on the back of the MH to get the tow bar almost level, most info I read on the net said not to have more than 3" up or down on a tow bar as this would put additional stress on both the towed and the tow vehicles. This set up worked well for us. We recently traded the jeep for a Ford C-Max, got the Blue Ox set up with base plate and extendable arms tow bar so that now I can hook up the toad by myself. Lots more money, but also easier to hook up.
