hi everyone....ok, so got some solar installed this weekend, and am on to the towbar situation this week....I have decided on the Roadmaster brand.and the one that stays on the coach, so since i dont need 10,000 lbs pull abilityi guess my options are the Falcon2 or Falcon 2 Allterrain. Anyone got anythign to say baout either of those setups? Ive found the Falcon 2 Allterrain for $584 seems cheapest price and the Falcon2 $499. Seems the Allterrain has the new latch, does anyone have expierence with it ? It is supposed to be so much easier, so i read.....jsut wondering if it is worth the $......that much easier? Also was looking at the Sterling Allterrain, quite spendy, and donk know if it would be as strong, even though they say it is.but I like that the safety cables are hidden inside....but, any negative thing to that?

I figured out i need the XL invisible brackets for my ford escortzx2 2001..so besides the brackets, towbar, safety cables, reciever hitch lock, tow bar cover and ...............? am i forgetting anything? I worry about having anyone touch the wiring on the car, so im thinking i may go with the magnetic lights instead.

anywya, if anyone has any final thoughts on this for me, I would really appreciate it ALOT

I am gonna finally get this big one off the to do list, an wont feel so stuck anymore, once i have the set up, .....just gotta get someone locally to do it......

since my bus sits low, im wondering if i am gonna have to have them make a somethign to make it tow level for the reciever hitch on the bus for the tow bar to go in? do they do that?

Good choices so far. How about brakes?

Kristine, the only way we can fight high prices is to shop around. I have been looking for a couple of months and found www.roadmaster-tow-bars.com as the best price for roadmaster products, check it out.>>>Dan

Check www.hitchtrader.com for good deals on used towbars and braking systems. That is where we found our towbar. Hope this helps, Jack
