Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for Use with Aventa II Tow Bar

Question

Question:

I have an Aventa II 10,000 lb. Blue Ox tow bar. I want to purchase a Blue Ox autostop hitch to install on my rv. There are several types available on your site. Can you tell me which one will work with the Aventa II.

For the older Aventa II there isn't an Autostop that's designed to fit it. That being said I don't like to recommend this kit as our installers haven't found them to be particularly effective and are very difficult to install.

I would rather you use something we know will work well like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR that gets set in the driver seat floor boards and pushes the brakes of the vehicle by sensing the amount of deceleration.

Answer 5

The Roadmaster BlackHawk part #RM-422 is a 10k tow bar so for a set of safety cables rated for this and are the proper length you'd want the part #RM-653 which is what Roadmaster recommends.

The Aventa II tow bar is actually a Blue Ox tow bar so for a base plate kit that would fit it you'd want the #BX1139 instead. For lighting you could then use the #RM-152-98146-7 and for braking the Blue Ox Patriot part #BRK2019 for an easy to…

Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox tow bars are great options. But if it was my decision to make I would go with the Blue Ox Avail part #BX7420 as we have found that the Blue Ox tow bars are a little easier to connect and disconnect from. Also this tow…
