We offer an adapter that allows a Duncan TowMatic II to connect to Roadmaster base plates. For that you would need the part # RM-038 so that you can connect to the Roadmaster # 278-1 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. view full answer...
For your Class I Hitch Receiver # C11132, I do have a multi-ball option for you. To go with the ball mount # 3593, I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set - 1-7/8", 2" Balls - 3/4" XL Shank - Nickel # 800B. This allows you to simply replace the ball with the larger or smaller diameter ball and everything else remains in place. You won't need the largest size hitch ball as your vehicle can't tow anything that would require the 2-5/16 inch ball and there isn't one available... view full answer...
The part # RM-038 is the correct adapter you would need to connect your Towmatic II tow bar to the Roadmaster part # 278-1. You would need the entire adapter to safely make the connection so I would not recommend trying to just use a single part of the adapter. Plus the portion you referenced is not available. view full answer...
For the 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser I have a solution that will allow you to transport bicycles, but there are no trunk racks confirmed to fit the convertible models.

For your vehicle wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster... view full answer...

I've linked our selection of chains to fit your 205/55 R16 sized tires. I recommend the Titan Chain, part # TC1540. I personally like the install on these compared to other chains. They're also good quality without breaking the bank.
You should check your vehicle owners manual for snow chain recommendations. Some vehicles require Class S (15mm or Less) tire chains, and some vehicle do not recommend the use of tire chains because of lack of clearance when turning.

That's it!
The Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack # INH120 has an anti-rattle knob (no tools!) that you turn once you put it in the hitch. It also has integrated locks on the wheel mount and the anti-rattle knob so you... view full answer...
Using the tow bar and base plate system should end up being less expensive than purchasing a tow dolly, but I can say that the tow dolly set up would require less pieces to get the PT Cruiser on the road behind your RV. If you are considering the tow dolly option, we do offer one tow dolly by Roadmaster, part # RM-2000-1.

Your 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser with an automatic transmission can be flat towed if you install a lube pump kit in the transmission. We do not sell these kits but we do have everything else you'd need. The other option is a tow dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 which bypasses the need for the lube pump kit, requires less install time, and is much easier transferred to future vehicles.
But if you want to go with a tow bar setup you'd need to first start with a base plate kit. For that you'd... view full answer...
You asked a great question about picking out the correct rise/drop ball mount for towing the Malone EcoLight Trailer part # MAL53FR. Basically you want to go with the ball mount that has the correct rise/drop to allow the trailer to sit as level as possible. So when the Curt hitch part # C11132 is installed on your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser it's going to have a distance of 11-1/4 inches from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground and the Malone trailer has a distance of 15 inches... view full answer...

Saris does list the Solo 1 part # SA102 as a fit for your 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser, but I would not recommend that rack. Instead the Saris Guardaian part # SAR93FR is a similar priced rack that would fit better. .

I checked your order notes and you ordered a Sportrack roof rack part # SR1005 for your 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser. The Thule carrier part # TH859XT has a 150 lb capacity and weighs 29 lbs. From the research I did it looks like the vehicle has a 165 lb weight capacity but you should still confirm this by checking the owners manual or with Chrysler.
For a Sportrack Cargo box that would fit your rack well the part # SR7018 would be a great option confirmed as a fit. It weighs 38 pounds. I... view full answer...
For your 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser I have a solution that will allow it to carry a rolling walker at the rear of the vehicle, but you can't use truck mounted bike racks for this as they are not designed for it haven't been tested.
Instead you would need a cargo carrier like the part # C18145 to carry the walker. For a cargo net to secure the walker you would want the part # C18200.
For a hitch for the 2003 PT Cruiser that would work well with the carrier you would want the part # 24759. view full answer...
If your RV has hydraulic brakes only then # RM-9160 will not work. Instead you will need Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System with BrakeAway for RVs with Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional Item # RM-9060. Or you could switch to a different braking system such as one of the portable models like the Even Brake # RM-9400. I have included a link to all of the portable systems for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. view full answer...
The towing capacity of a vehicle is more than just horsepower and torque unfortunately. It's also based on the transmission, cooling system, brakes, and chassis strength. This is why for your 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser there are only Class I hitches available like the Curt # C11132. Unless the trailer and car are less than 2,000 lbs this wouldn't work. view full answer...
