And this is what our Buick Enclave is gonna look like when it's all set up and ready to flat tow. Our motor home here has air brakes which is why we've opted for the BrakeMaster system.

How to Install the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar on a 2008 Buick Enclave- Video
Speaker: Today, in our 2008 Buick Enclave, we will be completing a flat tail setup using Roadmaster's Falcon 2 Tow Bar. This is what our Buick Enclave is going to look like when it's all set up and ready to flat tow.One of the reasons we chose the Falcon 2 is because it's a non-binding tow bar. What this means is if you're parked on uneven ground, such as a camping site or in some RV parks, it can be difficult to get your vehicle disconnected from the tow bar, because it's in a bind. You press on the button here, and that'll help free up the arm, making it easier to disconnect your tow bar from your vehicle.When not in use, the tow bars can be stored in an upright position. They simply fold up here with this joint. The head of the bolt here will rest inside the opening here, and that'll keep it up, out of the way.Depending on your motor home, you may need a high-low adaptor. more
