Towed H2 by RV causes accident

AND, if the roadmaster did happen to fail, you still wind up with a 60k vehicle in a ditch, probably rolled over, and perhaps still cause one hell of a wreck behind you with other innocent folks. Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand how a tow bar system of any brand would be safer than a trailer. Again, nice setup though.

Thanks!

Where do I start!

Does NOT Apply!...Haven't replaced them yet! Over 65K plus Towed Miles!

Think I'd still prefer a car hauler personally.

Impossible with Most RV's!--ONLY!...ONLY!!-- Diesel Pushers with A 15K Hitch Have a Shot @ the car Hauler thing, And Gross Combined Rating!

Not to mention the extra wear/tear on the drivetrain of the H2; transfer case, front/rear diffs, etc..

It's in Neutral (T/Case)...Just Rolling Along!

You're only getting maybe 5-6mpg out of the RV to begin with?.?.

Actually Closer to 10---If I keep My friggin foot off the fuel! and roll 60/65! Again Diesel Pusher!

AND, if the roadmaster did happen to fail, you still wind up with a 60k vehicle in a ditch, probably rolled over, and perhaps still cause one hell of a wreck

Not with out a 1/4 Mil plus coach laying beside it!!

1.) towbar has a 10K rating
2.) Brake Master--Air Proportional Braking System--
3.) Brakaway Installed!
4.) Drag Cables installed correctly
5.) I DON'T Play RoadMaster Happens to Fail!---My Chit Works!--I do what it takes to make er SAFE!!

just trying to understand how a tow bar system of any brand would be safer than a trailer.

Pro's----NONE!

Cons
1.) to much weight--Example, Car hauler rated @ 7K--Trailer Wt.=2400Lb, your payload would be 4600Lbs--H2 dry=6400
2.) Would be burning up a LOT of Brake pads or worst!
3.) Parking/ stroage
4.) MUST have a Big Rig to use,--A 15K hitch and enough GCWR to handle
5.) Would look like Chit!
