• Adapters Needed To Connect A Falcon 2 Tow Bar To Demco Tabless Baseplates
  Hi Ron, To make you're Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar compatible with the Demco # DM9519196 you'll just need the Demco Tow Bar Adapter Bracket # DM9523128. If you want to be able to connect to the Roadmaster # 3141-1 you'll just need the Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Tow Bars # 910021-00. Personally, I'd go with the Demco # DM9519196 instead of the bulky crossbar-style baseplate # 3141-1 from Roadmaster.

• Towing a non-SS 2010 Chevy HHR Behind a Motor Home
  No, the Chevy HHR and HHR SS are fundamentally different were the base plates install so you would not be able to use the SS base plates, # 523159-1, on a non-SS model. I have verified this with my contact at Roadmaster. For a non-SS model you would use base plates # 3141-1. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520, and safety cables # RM-643. For lighting you can use a magnetic lighting kit # RM-2120. Or for a more permanent solution you can use diode kit # RM-154....

• Can a Tow Bar be Mounted at an Angle When Flat Towing a 2011 Chevrolet HHR
  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...
