Whether you need to flat tow a dinghy with a car, truck, or\nRV, you will most certainly require a tow bar. The tow bar is one of the most\nobvious and easily discernable components in a towing set up, as it is generally\nshaped in a large \u201cV\u201d formation, and lies between the towing vehicle and the\ndinghy being towed. It also happens to be one of the most central components,\nas it allows you to safely flat-tow your wheeled commodity. There are some important\nfacts you should know about tow bars before setting up your own rig and hitting\nthe road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Tow Bars<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Tow bars come in a sorts of versions, all of which differ in\ntowing capacity, mounting style, and overall design. The tow bar you will\nrequire for your dinghy set up will depend on these factors and more. Be sure\nto review the manufacturers\u2019 instructions, as well as the owners\u2019 manual of\nyour towing vehicle, before setting up your tow bar. The two most common mounting\nstyles for tow bars include car-mounted and RV-mounted tow bars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

🚌 RV-Mounted Tow Bars:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RV-mounted tow bars deliver precision and stability. Furthermore,\nthey insert directly into the RV\u2019s hitch receiver, which means there is no need\nfor an additional connection point (a coupler) that most car-mounted types\nrequire. Although you won\u2019t be using a coupler on an RV-mounted tow bar, you\nwill need your hitch lock to secure the bar to the receiver. RV-mounted tow\nbars are also easy store, provide highly stable connections, improve safety, compatible\nwith hitch adapters, and easy to adjust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

🚙 Car-Mounted Tow Bars:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Car-mounted tow bars are used on towing vehicles like cars,\ntrucks, SUV\u2019s, and vans. They came long before the introduction of RV-mounted\ntow bars, and still play a vital role in dinghy towing to this very day. They operate\nsimilarly to an A-trailer since they connect to the trailer hitch ball via an\nintegrated coupler. Their integrated coupler can be locked to a hitch ball,\nadding more security and stability. Furthermore, they come in a range of sizes,\nincluding 2″ and 25\/16<\/sup>” balls, and even pintle hitches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
