asked by: Steve C
Expert Reply:
Yes, you can Steve. The Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420 can be folded up and stored on your motorhomes hitch when you're not using it.
I recommend purchasing the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # e98881 to secure your tow bar from theft and the etrailer Tow Bar Cover for Blue Ox, Roadmaster, Demco, Curt, and etrailer Tow Bars item # e76FV to protect your tow bar from the elements on road grime.
What kind of motorhome do you have?
