Why tow a car?
Its ironic. You've invested a small fortune on your coach. You've traveled across an entire continent to see new and exciting places. There is only one problem. When you wake up in the campground the next morning, you suddenly realize that your motor home is a virtual prison. Almost without thinking about it, you've strapped your motor home to the campsite with water hoses, sewer hoses, electrical connections, cable TV and phone line. Don't forget about the extended awning, the carpet by the steps, and all those camp chairs. Let's face it, you ain't moving that baby just to go get a quart of milk.

Roadmaster tow bars are designed to give you the freedom to explore exciting new destinations without the hassle of dismantling camp.

The Basics of Tow Bars
There are essentially two fundamental types of tow bar designs.
"Rigid A-Frame" tow bars are the most basic. Because the arms do not adjust or collapse, many people find them difficult to connect to the trailer ball. This often results in the need to "jockey" the car around to align the tow bar over the ball. This type of tow bar is ideal for the casual user or somebody on a budget. These bars are simple, inexpensive, lightweight and dependable. However, if you plan on connecting and disconnecting frequently, then a collapsible tow bar may be a better choice.

"Collapsible" tow bars are the standard among RV'ers. When connecting the tow bar, its arms will easily adjust allowing one person to hook up in seconds. As you drive away, the arms will extend, self-center and lock in place for safe and trouble free towing. By pulling pins, this style can quickly be removed, or simply folded against the vehicle for compact storage. Collapsible tow bars are quick and convenient; and a must for the everyday RVer.

Two very different types of tow bars are available today under the classification of "Collapsible". Traditional "Car Mounted" tow bars like, the Stowmaster, fold away on the front of the car when done towing. "Motor home Mounted" tow bars, like the Falcon 2, Sterling and BlackHawk, fold away on the rear of the coach. Car mounted bars are slightly easier to use and operate. However, motor home mounted bars never have to be lifted off the front of the car, and can always be conveniently stored on the rear of your RV. Due to their unique swivel joint design, motor home mounted tow bars do not require a ball mount.
