To ensure your RoadMaster Sterling Tow Bar # RM-576 stays clean when the tow bar is in the storage position, I recommend the RoadMaster Tow Bar Cover # RM-055-3.
When you detach the tow bar simply wind all the cables loosely around the tow bar and set it in the storage position. The tow bar cover slides over the entire unit and clasps closed. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Towbar, part # RM-576 includes a female 6-pin plug that would mount to the vehicle being flat towed, so the 6-way umbilical included with the Sterling tow bar would work great for your 2014 CR-V. The wire is 78 inches long, which should be plenty long enough so that no extensions should be needed. The Sterling tow bar provides a channel on the tow bar for the wire to run through, for a clean look and to also provide protection for the wiring.

The Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012-BX is designed to work with Blue Ox baseplates, but can also be used with Demco Classic and Tabless base plates. I recommend verifying exactly what you have before purchasing a new tow bar. If you want to send in a few pictures I can try to determine what you have.
As for your actual question, you can NEVER back up with a tow bar. Doing so will crumple the arms of the tow bar and you'll be looking at costly repairs. Tow bars are only... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 is only designed for specific Roadmaster set ups - base plate and tow bar - so I recommend going a different route than the Roadmaster Falcon # RM-522 to use a rock guard on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948.
The best option is to use the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR with the Sentry Deflector for Demco Tow Bars # DM9523135.
The SD tow bar is similar to the Falcon in that it is a... view full answer...
They are similar but the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar 63180 is different from the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms # C19745.
They are manufactured by competing companies, and while both have a 5k capacity and come with brackets to attach to the vehicle you are looking to tow, the biggest difference is that the Tow Ready limits you to a towing speed of 45 mph. So if you wanted to flat tow your vehicle on a highway you would not be able to do so.
Since the Curt # C19745 does not... view full answer...
Yes, the arms of the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 will extend and lock into position when you start pulling your vehicle. The bars can often be difficult to release when you go to disconnect the tow bars from the towed vehicle when you get to your site. Often times you will need to either physically push the towed vehicle forwards and back to get the release pin to disconnect or use a RoadMaster Release Tool # RM-066 to get the pin to drop.
The best option is to step up to the... view full answer...
You can indeed, as long as the vehicle you're towing with has the proper tow rating and you can keep the tow bar within 3 inches +/- of level. You might need to use a high/low adapter to get the tow bar within 3 inches of level, take a look at the FAQ article I've linked for you, which will explain it further.
You'll also need the proper trailer connector on the tow vehicle to accommodate whatever tow lighting set-up you have on the dinghy. view full answer...

According to a Certified GMC Tech I checked with, your 2020 GMC Sierra will not register the towed miles if your dashboard is not "live". Meaning, if you do not have the ignition on or in the accessory position when flat towing there will be no power to the electronic items that register the rotation/movement of the wheels.
To flat tow your 2020 GMC Sierra, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. If you need some... view full answer...
I would not recommend towing your 2011 Chevrolet HHR at an angle. You will want the tow set up to be as level as possible. For your situation I would recommend using a tow bar that attaches to a ball mount like the Roadmaster StowMaster Car-Mounted Tow Bar, # RM-501, with a ball mount that has the correct drop.
I have attached an article to help you choose a ball mount with the correct drop. First you should measure from the ground to the top of the hitch receiver on your coach. Next... view full answer...

I'm not certain which adapter you used, but the # RM-031 adapter would install at the end of the tow bar arms and allow you to attach to the Blue Ox base plate on your Jeep Cherokee.

The Patriot 3 is a portable unit that will take only moments to install and remove.

I assume you are asking about the Autowlok system on your Falcon 5250 tow bar. The tow bar has been discontinued.
If it is locked in the extended position you want to make sure you are on level pavement when trying to release the Autowlok system. Any unlevel surface can put the arms in a bind and cause the problem you are having. Since the arms do not go in and out while being used you can use the towbar if it is in the extended position.
If you can manage to break it free you may want... view full answer...
