Question:
Hi I am in Cape Cod area of Massachusetts and I am going to hire someone to install my roadmaster tow bar and do all the necessary set up. Where do I go? Do I go to mechanics at a car dealership or an auto body place?? Please help ..I need direction. Thank You

Expert Reply:
To have your Roadmaster baseplates, tow bar and other components installed, I recommend steering clear of a car dealership and rather going to an RV dealer or any mechanic you trust. The installation instructions are easy enough for anyone who is mechanically inclined to follow and you can always direct them to videos on our site if they need assistance.
Because we don't have places all over the country we refer the installations to, we simply suggest going to someone you trust will treat you fairly because the installation can be done by any certified mechanic or mechanically savvy individual.
I recommend checking out the attached flat towing overview article to assist with making sure you have all the components needed. I've also attached an article on supplemental braking to assist.
