I suggest any aluminum tow bar with telescoping arms. Then, have the seller instal and get a cover for it. Leave it on all the time. Lock it on with a locking pin.
The aluminum arms are manageable. I went through a period when I had no strength and serious hernia problems and still managed my Ready Brute Elite. I did not take it off the hitch during that time but could still hook up and disconnect just fine.
If you want to make that tow system even more manageable, you can buy the tow bar and surge brake system separate instead of as one unit. It will be 8 to 10 inches longer, but that shouldn't be a problem. You will also have another pin connection to lock up. Removal of this system should be easier. The tow bars and surge brake would disconnect separately.
