Expert Answers about Tow Bar


  • What's The Purpose Of The Padlocks In The Roadmaster Accessory Kit For Nighthawk & Sterling Tow Bar?
  • The padlocks included in the Roadmaster Accessory Kit for Nighthawk and Sterling Tow Bars # RM-9284-2 replace the safety pins connecting the tow bar to the vehicle base plate. This helps secure your vehicle to the tow bar while the tow bar is locked in place with the included hitch pin. If you are using a crossbar style base plate one lock will attach the tow bar to the crossbar and the other lock will need to replace the pin holding the cross bar to the vehicle mounts.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1994 Ford Escort Behind a Motor Home

Or for a more economical option you can use the Tracker # RM-020. If you go with the Tracker tow bar you will also need quick disconnects # RM-201 to make it easily removable. For either tow bar you...

  • What Are Flat Bars Used for in the Blue Ox Accessory Kit for Tow Bars with 2" Hitch Receivers
  • The flat-looking "bars" that come with the Blue Ox Accessory Kit for Tow Bars with 2" Hitch Receivers # BLU64TR are an anti-rattle kit that clamps down on the hitch receiver and shank of your tow bar. This just helps to keep everything from moving around as much as possible. Just to get a clearer picture of what the kit is, it can be found by itself as the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer # BLU85QR, but the one in the kit is for a 2" hitch instead of a 3" hitch like the one I just referenced.
