light weight towing package for woman
Help please. Since my husbands recent passing I am going to have to travel alone in my 30 foot . I want to tow four wheels down. I need the lightest weight but safe towing equipment that I can us...

We have the ready brute elite. While I have no problems carrying it, hooking it up alone is another matter. If you are very close to perfectly aligned, you can hook one side then the other. If you are off a little bit, it is a struggle to do it alone as the arms are awkward. Being 5'6" tall, my reach isn't as long as others which may cause some of the awkwardness. I think the arms of any tow bar would also be awkward, but I have no experience with them.
Typically, DH does the dumping while I do the toad. With practice, I am getting better at aligning the toad to the motorhome (we have only had this set up for four months) and it is getting easier. But that is the key - putting the toad in the right place. Once it is there, hooking up the ready brute elite is very simple and quick.
When unhooking, it is much easier if the toad is perfectly aligned with the rv. If not, one may have to hammer out one of the pins, as it can be pinched.
Because the ready brute elite uses an integrated brake, I only have one cable to attach. there is nothing I need to put into and set up in the towed (such as a brake box).
