Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar Review- Video

Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar Review

Rob: Hey everybody, Rob here at etrailer.com, and today we're going to be taking a look at the Curt Rambler steel tow bar. Now, our tow bar is going to be with actually attaching our motor home to our Jeep whenever we want to flat tow it. It's going to slide directly into our receiver tube on our motor home, and hook directly to the base plate so there's no coupler or ball mount that we're going to have to have.Now, one thing I really like about this tow bar is the fact that it has a non-binding design. What that means is, is once we start towing, those arms are going to extend out into a rigid position, which they're supposed to, but when we go to unhook, that's when the problem comes up. Typically the pins right here, we're getting a big bind, and it'd be extremely difficult to pull these out because the arms are bound up. But these levers here will actually take all that tension off, releasing it so it's a lot easier to pull these pins out and unhook.And compared to some other tow bars that don't have that non-binding design, this is just going to make it a lot easier to unhook. more

Roadmaster Falcon 2 Motorhome Mount Tow Bar Review- Video

Roadmaster Falcon 2 Motorhome Mount Tow Bar Review

Hi there flat towers. Today we're going to be taking a look at Roadmaster's Falcon 2 Tow Bar. What's nice about this, if you've ever towed before, but not with a flat tow but maybe like a tow dolly, you notice that it kind of follows behind your motor home like a regular trailer does. You got to take those turns and you got to take them a little bit wider because you've got to compensate for that trailer at the back. When flat towing, and keeping your vehicle self-aligned and since the wheels on your vehicle also turn when you turn, it allows the vehicle to track directly behind their motor home staying in the same path so you don't have to make those corrections that you would if you we're using a towed dolly or some other type of trailer to haul your vehicle.Another thing our customers like about flat towing versus using a tow dolly or a trailer to haul their vehicle, is that there's less to store. Your tow bar here can stay on the back of your motor home, it's got a storage position where it folds up. more

This one here only weighs in at about 30 pounds, so it is still kind of heavy, but in comparison with the other ones it's a lot lighter and since you're going to have to lift these arms up and hook them in each time, that little bit of weight reduction really goes a long way. more
