We have used these for about a year, several trips from GA to NH and MI towing our Jeep it works well with our tow set-up. We use these as secondary protection in case the jeep comes loose from the tow bar.

3rd Road master tow bar I have installed on my toads (Miata, Honda Fit and Kia Soul). All are well built but not all interference issues are in instructions and video. On the Kia Soul, wasted 3 hours figuring out bolt was too short for blind assembly inside a pocket. Also radiator air guides needed trimming. Just plan for more time and be patient.

I purchased this as part of a package which included; Hitch and wiring for my 2022 Equinox, Base plate, Tow Bar, brake System and connecting air hose, break away cables, LED tow lights with wiring harness, and a trickle charger to keep the Equinox battery from going dead while I was towing it behind my class A RV. I had etrailer do the install of all the components on my car and RV. All the workmanship was excellent and done in the amount of time they said it would take. Also because they did not have a video of this equipment being put on this year and model vehicle, I gave them permission to make a video(which added a extra day and a half to the install)and the installation was free. Everything has worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Etrailer is my go to for anything towing and also RV parts.

Easier to get hook and spring over shackles. Still a very tight coil, so they can accommodate a long range of distance between truck and toad.

Replacements for original set, one cable damaged during entering a gas station and a recent detachment on highway. These same cables did their job and saved my toad after a locking pin sheared off and my blue ox bar detached from the coach.

I have been using "Coil Cables" for over 30 years. I always tell people about them and suggest over any chain set out there. The coil keeps the cables from dragging the ground and getting chewed up by the road. I suggest the use of 1/2 inch, Grade 8 hardware to attach to your trailer. If you do not have Grade 8 hardware then jump into your car and go get some. Nothing less is sufficient for the task. Do not sell yourself short on attachments. Remember this rule: Your wife and children may be coming from the other direction. Make sure you are safe. etrailer, my thoughts about this company are simple. Great people and great products. In the past I have contacted the Customer Service group twice. Yes only twice in 10+ years of business. My questions and issues were solved fast and we were all happy. In the picture, Get real when you build a Grill.

My tow vehicle went on fire on July 4. If I did NOT have these safety cables, I would not have been able to disconnect my motorhome before it, too, caught fire. I will never tow with the other cables.

Love these cables. First, using coiled cables avoids adjusting chains so they don't drag on the highway. Second, the S hooks are MUCH easier to attach and remove from the hitch on my RAV4. Previously had coiled cables with clevis hooks. They convinced me to stick with coiled cables, but the heavier hooks were harder to manage on my RAV4.

A huge upgrade over chains, these are an awesome budget friendly upgrade. They don't drag the ground and you can fish your wiring through them so that doesn't drag the ground either.

Needed to replace our old cables and checked our local Camping Store. They were charging a ridiculous price. I checked trader.com and found exactly what we needed for half the price. The website made it easy to locate exactly what I needed. Ordering online was super simple and the package arrived within 5 days- earlier than the anticipated date. I appreciated that they sent an email notifying me that the order was received and another when the item shipped. I will definitely order through them for future purchases.

Each cable had one end each that the end loop cable is unraveled /loose. Meaning there is cable separation at the end loops. The other end loops were tightly wrapped in the loop ends. The product is poorly assembled. Both loop ends should have tight unwound cables.

Safety Cables Questions
- I may have a solution for you, but I checked with my contact over at Roadmaster and there are unfortunately not different sized clevis hooks on their safety cables like the # RM-655. However, you may be able to use some quick links like the Quick Links - 1/2" Diameter - Qty 2 # 37201345 to allow you to connect to the larger safety chain loops on your 2022 Winnebago Forza; you can then connect your safety chain clevises to the quick link directly.
view full answer... - I'm not 100 percent certain if you are asking what the rating is or stating what the rating is for a cable, but the bottom line is that the Roadmaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 are rated for 6,000 lbs each, but that does not mean two of them give you a 12,000 lb capacity because if one were to break the capacity is 6,000 lbs and that is what the rating is for.
I have added a link to a video review of these cables for you as well as a link to our entire...
view full answer... - You can use the Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000 tow bar, and by drawbar I assume you mean base plates for your 2020 Chevy Equinox. The Stowmaster 5000 is compatible, but you do need specific base plates for your Equinox, which are the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-523193-4.
Along with the base plates and your Stowmaster 5000 tow bar, there are a few other parts you will need in order to flat tow your 2020 Equinox:
- Safety Chains: Roadmaster 80" Coiled Safety...
view full answer... - Yes. You can really use any safety cables with your Roadmaster Sterling All-Terrain # RM-576 as long as your base plates have a connection spot on them for the hooks; the Roadmaster Direct Connect Base Plates # RM-521446-5 for a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk have spots to connect hook ends on safety cables. You can use a set of double hook safety cables like the # RM-646 to connect from the RV to your base plates.
If you've got a different year Cherokee Trailhawk and need help...
view full answer... - Yes you can use safety cables in place of safety chains as long as they are rated for the weight of the trailer. Chains are typically a little easier to use in this application though since you can manipulate the length of them easier by twisting them but you can use a cable set like the part # C80151 if you wanted. These have a 5,000 lb capacity.
view full answer... - Yes, to mount your Blue Ox Aventa II Tow Bar to a Roadmaster baseplate, you will need the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bar Adapter, part # RM-033.
The Roadmaster Base Plate that will fit your vehicle is the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 1424-1 and is compatible with Roadmaster Base Plate Tow Bar Adapater, part # RM-033.
In addition to part # RM-033, I would recommend the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, part # RM-201 for quick attachment...
view full answer... - The Roadmaster, # RM-645 is a 64" length single hook, safety cables -rated at 8,000 lbs. We have a shorter 40" length vinyl coated safety cables, # DL20119 that is rated at 6,500 lbs.
view full answer... - I have attached a dimensional photo of the Curt Single Hook Coiled Safety Cables with S-Hooks part # C80151 and the larger Curt Single Hook Coiled Safety Cables with S-Hooks part # C80176 for you as it would be a bit difficult to explain the dimensions via text. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. One of these options should work with the safety chain loops on your 2019 Honda Ridgeline but if not you would want to use a clevis style type hook like the Long...
view full answer... - Yes you can wrap your the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables - 7,500 lbs # BX88196 or 10,000 lbs # BX88197 around the trailer tongue, though ideally you would use a mounting bracket like the Brophy Safety Chain Mounting Bracket - 6-1/8" Long x 1/2" Diameter # MB12 or 5/8" Diameter # MB58.
I have added links to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Yes, the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables # BX88196 that you referenced are coiled. I have attached a review video so that you can see how this keeps them off of the ground.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If your flat towing setup is missing any of these parts just let me know what it is you are needing as well as the year/make/model of your...
view full answer... - The cable diameter of the Curt # C80151 (5k) is 5/16" diameter and the Curt # C80136 (3.5k) is 1/4" diameter.
view full answer... - When using D-ring adapters to flat tow your Jeep like what it sounds like you're doing, safety cables will generally just need to be attached to the vehicle's frame. What you can do is use some short cables to wrap around each frame rail and then hold them together with quick links. You can then attach the safety cables from the RV to the quick links.
I recommend using the Blue Ox Safety Cables # BX88208, as it includes two 3 foot long cables and 4 quick links. They feature...
view full answer... - The S-Hooks on the Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables with S-Hooks # C80176 you were looking at have an opening of 7/8" which is the largest S-Hook we offer, and should work great on the thicker safety chain connection point on your 2020 Ford F-350.
I included a video of the Curt # C80176 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - When it comes to using safety chains on your 2022 Ford F-250 with a BW hitch The 40 inch Vinyl Coated Safety Cables with Clevis Hook (Qty. 2) by Dutton-Lainson, 6,500 pounds # DL20119 are confirmed to fit per the manufacturer.
This kit includes a pair of 5/16 inch vinyl-coated cables with safety hooks at one end. These cables are to be used on trailers up to 6,500 pounds, the coil tension eliminates dragging and rattles. The cables extend up to 40 inches when straightened....
view full answer... - The Demco Dominator Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511008 uses 54" safety cables. The original part is listed as #13273 Straight Safety Cable w/Hooks 54” with the replacement being the 54” Safety Cable Kit (complete) Standard # DM9523051 that you were looking at. This information may be referenced in the Demco Dominator operator manual.
view full answer... - There's really no secret to it. You would just run the cable that is installed on the right side of your trailer to the safety chain loop on the left side of your tow vehicle and vice versa for the other side.
The # C80176 would install on your trailer in the same way as the safety chains that were previously on the trailer.
view full answer... - Since safety chains pivot underneath the trailer when making turns it's typically not a situation where a significant length of safety chain is needed to allow sharp turns to be made. Basically you'd want to measure the distance between the safety chain loop on the trailer and the loops of the hitch and give yourself and additional bit of slack.
The part # C80136 measures 42 inches and is coiled too to keep it off of the ground.
view full answer... - The RoadMaster 64" Double Hook, Straight Safety Cables part # RM-648 have a combined weight capacity of 10,000 lbs so 5,000 lbs each which is the highest available. This will be the same principal applied to all of Roadmaster's safety cables. I have attached a full list below.
view full answer... - The Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645 is the overall length of the unit. If you are at all concerned with the amount of length I highly recommend going to a longer cable such as the 76" # RM-645-76 or the 80" Double Hook # RM-674.
view full answer... - I went out to the warehouse and pulled a set of Curt Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # C80151 to measure the size of the eye opening for you. The width at the widest point is 0.65 inches (between 5/8 and 11/16 inches). And at the longest the opening is 1.37 inches (1-3/8 inches). With these measurements you should be able to determine if the bolt will go through.
