ROADMASTER Tow Bars
Why Tow a Car?
It's ironic. You've invested a small fortune on your coach. You've traveled across an entire continent to see new and exciting places. There is only one problem. When you wake up in the campground the next morning, you suddenly realize that your motor home is a virtual prison. Almost without thinking about it, you've strapped your Motor Home to the campsite with water hoses, sewer hoses, electrical connections, cable TV and phone line. Don't forget about the extended awning, the carpet by the steps, and all those camp chairs. Let's face it, you ain't moving that baby just to go get a quart of milk.
Roadmaster Tow Bars are designed to give you the freedom to explore exciting new destinations without the hassle of dismantling camp.
How do I tow my vehicle behind my motor home or RV?
When towing your car behind your motor home you have two options. You can use a Tow Bar or a Tow Dolly.
Using a Tow Bar is by far the most common method of towing. It allows for the quickest connnection to the Motor Home. Plus, it's lightweight, easy to handle and simple to store.
Roadmaster manufactures the world's most comprehensive line of Tow Bars. From the entry level Tracker™ to the top of the line Sterling™, Roadmaster's quality and value are unmatched. You will not find any Tow Bars easier to operate than the car mounted Stowmaster™ Tow Bars. If Motor Home mounted Tow Bars are more your style, then don't miss the Falcon™ Tow Bars.
There are essentially two types of Tow Bars:
- Rigid A-Frame Tow Bars: These are the most basic designed Tow Bars. Excellent for the casual user or someone on a budget.
- Because the arms do not adjust or collapse, many people find them difficult to connect to the trailer ball. This often results in the need to "jockey" the car around to align the Tow Bars over the ball. This type of Tow Bar is ideal for the casual user or somebody on a budget. They are simple, inexpensive, lightweight and dependable. The Tracker™ Tow Bar is the strongest 'A' frame Tow Bar in it's class, yet weighs only 38 lbs. It folds easily into a 'stowed' configuration for upright, car-mounted storage. However, if you plan on connecting and disconnecting frequently, then a collapsible Tow Bar may be a better choice.
- Roadmaster offers this Tow Bar in this class:
- Collapsible Tow Bars: These are the standard among RV 'ers, because of their superior functionality and ease of use. Collapsible Tow Bars can be car mounted or motor home mounted.
- When connecting the Tow Bar, it's arms will easily adjust allowing - one person to hook up in seconds. As you drive away, the arms will extend, self-center and lock in place for safe and trouble free towing. By pulling the pins, this style of Tow Bar can quickly be removed, or simply folded against the vehicle for compact storage. Collapsible Tow Bars are quick and convenient, and a must for the everyday RV' er.
- Two very different types of Tow Bars are available today under the classification of "Collapsible".
- Traditional "Car Mounted" Tow Bars like the Stowmaster™ Tow Bar and the Stowmaster™ All-Terrain Tow Bar fold away on the front of the car when done towing. They can be detached and lifted off the vehicle for storge in a trunk or cargo bin.
- "Motor Home Mounted" Tow Bars like the Falcon™ 2 Tow Bar, the Sterling™ All-Terrain Tow Bar and the Blackhawk™ 2 All-Terrain Tow Bar fold away on the rear of the coach. Car mounted Tow Bars are slightly easier to use and operate. However, Motor Home mounted Tow Bars never have to be lifted off the front of the car, and can always be conveniently stored on the rear of your RV. Due to their unique swivel joint design, Motor Home mounted Tow Bars do not require a ball mount.
