Dial in a hassle-free hookup with a tow bar built to connect to Demco base plates. Match your RV's receiver size to the shank to avoid using an adapter, and check your safety cable length if you add a drop receiver. Features like non-binding, self-supporting arms can make connecting and disconnecting smoother.
Yes, many are designed for quick connection to Demco base plates. Look for self-supporting arms to keep the bar from dropping while you line up, and non-binding releases to help disconnect on uneven ground. If you feel resistance, straighten the towed vehicle slightly to relieve tension before pulling the release levers.
Pick a rating that exceeds your towed vehicle's weight, including added gear. If your current bar feels borderline, stepping up in capacity can add margin without changing your Demco base plates. When upgrading, check that the new bar's connections match the Demco tabs so it's a direct swap, and verify your motorhome receiver size for a proper fit.
Choose a tow bar configured to attach to Demco base plates. Some bars arrive set up for another tab style, so verify the connector ends match Demco before ordering. If you're upgrading from a similar Demco-ready bar, you may only need to swap pins. If the ends don't match, plan on Demco-specific connectors to complete the hookup.
Match your RV hitch size to the tow bar shank; if your receiver is 2" and the bar is 2.5", you'll need an adapter. If you use a drop receiver, confirm your safety cables are long enough; shorter cables can come up tight in turns, so consider a longer set. After install, do a slow, full-turn parking-lot test to verify clearance and cable length.
