Tab Covers

Demco Pull Ear Cover

When you're not towing, the included tab covers provide a clean look for your car by covering the protruding brackets. They also keep dirt and debris out of the base plate tabs, and even act as a shin guard to help cusion the blow if you walk into the base plate tabs. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached.


Tow Bar Adapters

If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. Demco makes adapters for use with other manufacturer's tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2003 Volkswagen Beetle Behind a Motor Home
    To flat tow a vehicle you will need 5 items: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. You will also want to consult the vehicle owners manual for specific information on flat towing the 2003 Volkswagen New Beetle. For base plates, you need # DM9518071. These base plates are compatible with the Commander II tow bar, # DM9511012. I have linked the instructions for both parts for you. For lighting you have a few options.

  • Best Way To Flat Tow 2007 Volkswagen Beetle Behind RV
    I was not able to find the owner's manual for the 2007 VW Beetle but from my research it looks like it can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground if it has a manual transmission. You would want to check your owner's manual to be sure that your particular vehicle can be flat towed behind a RV. If your 2007 VW Beetle is an automatic transmission then it needs to be towed with a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. If your Beetle is...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Components for 2006 VW Beetle TDI
    If your 2006 VW Beetle TDI is an automatic transmission, then it can only be towed using a tow dolly like Roadmaster's # RM-2050-1. You can see this outlined in your owners manual. If your Beetle has a manual transmission, then it can be flat towed with a speed restriction of 65 mph. For flat towing components, I recommend we start with theDemco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518071 confirmed to fit your TDI model. Then for a compatible tow bar, I recommend the Demco Commander II # DM9511012...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle behind Motorhome
    For a base plate kit to flat tow your 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle with a manual transmission I recommend the Demco # DM9518071. You don't need to worry about removing the arms when not towing and it's barely visible compared to some other kits. For a compatible tow bar use the Commander # DM9511012. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control...

  • What Parts are Needed to Flat Tow 2003 VW New Beetle 5-Speed
    From all the information I could find you can flat tow your 2003 VW New Beetle TDI with a 5-speed manual transmission, although I was unable to locate an online copy of your owner's manual to verify this. You can do so easily with your hard copy as there should be a "Towing" section that talks about recreational towing or flat towing. There are a number of parts you will need in order to flat tow your '03 VW Beetle: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518071 - Tow Bar:...

Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for specific information regarding the recreational towing of your V-dub.

  • Recommended Parts to Tow 2007 VW Beetle Behind Motorhome
    If your 2007 VW Beetle is a manual transmission it can be towed with your Demco Excalibar tow bar and the base plates # DM9518071. It is not recommended to tow above 65 mph. For your electrical connection I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and then the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251 for the supplemental braking system required in almost all states.

  • Which Tow Bar is Compatible with Demco Classic Baseplates on a VW Beetle
    The most pocketbook friendly towbar compatible with Demco Classic base plates like the # DM9518071 is the Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar - Victory Series - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # DM9511012.
