RV Tow Bars for Flat Towing

Tow bars provide the primary connection between a motorhome and a compatible vehicle being flat towed. Different tow bars are available with varying designs, mounting configurations, weight ratings and compatibility requirements.

When selecting a tow bar, confirm its rated capacity and compatibility with the baseplate and other components in the towing system. Tow bars, baseplates and adapters should not be assumed to be interchangeable simply because they appear to use similar attachment points.

Flat Towing Baseplates

Vehicle baseplates provide the vehicle-side attachment points for compatible tow bar systems. Most baseplates are designed for specific vehicle applications, making accurate vehicle identification especially important.

Before ordering a baseplate, verify the vehicle year, make, model, trim or configuration and all applicable manufacturer fitment notes. Differences in bumpers, body configurations or factory equipment can affect compatibility even within the same vehicle model.

Towed Vehicle Wiring Kits

Towed vehicle wiring kits provide electrical components for compatible flat towing installations. Depending on the vehicle and system, they can be used as part of the electrical connection required for the lighting functions of the vehicle being towed.

Available wiring kits may be vehicle-specific or designed around particular electrical configurations. Always use the manufacturer's published application information and exact part number to identify the appropriate wiring kit.

Supplemental Towed Vehicle Braking Components

Our flat towing selection also includes towed vehicle brake controls and related supplemental braking components for compatible applications. Available products may include brake controls, installation kits, communication components, monitor switches and other parts used within specific supplemental braking systems.

Supplemental braking equipment varies significantly between systems. Replacement components should be matched to the specific braking system and vehicle application rather than selected by appearance alone.

Tow Bar Adapters & Accessory Kits

Tow bar adapters and accessory kits can provide additional components required for compatible flat towing installations or allow certain towing components to work together when specifically approved by the manufacturer.

Adapter compatibility should always be verified between the tow bar, baseplate and towing system being used. Do not assume an adapter will make otherwise incompatible towing components suitable for use together.

Towed Vehicle Battery Charging

Depending on the vehicle and flat towing setup, a towed vehicle battery charger or related charging component may be used to help support the vehicle's electrical system while it is being towed.

Electrical requirements vary by vehicle and towing system. Confirm the manufacturer's application information and installation requirements before adding a battery charging component to a flat towing setup.

Flat Towing Protection & Accessories

Additional flat towing accessories may include vehicle protection products, towing-system accessories and other components designed specifically for dinghy towing applications. Available equipment varies by manufacturer and current inventory.

Check each individual product listing for its intended application, specifications and included components before ordering.

Flat Towing & Dinghy Towing Behind a Motorhome

Flat towing, also commonly called dinghy towing, allows a compatible vehicle to be towed behind a motorhome with its wheels on the road. A complete system can require several separate components depending on the vehicle and towing equipment being used.

A typical setup may involve a tow bar, vehicle baseplate, towed vehicle wiring, supplemental braking equipment and other safety or electrical components. Requirements vary by application, and individual products should be checked to determine exactly what is included.

Choosing Compatible Flat Towing Parts

Compatibility is especially important when assembling a flat towing system. Before ordering, confirm the towed vehicle year, make, model and configuration along with the manufacturer and model of any existing tow bar, baseplate or braking equipment.

Whenever possible, use manufacturer fitment information and exact part numbers when selecting components. Similar-looking tow bars, adapters, baseplates and braking components should not automatically be assumed to work together.

Flat Towing vs. Trailer Towing

Flat towing equipment serves a different purpose from conventional trailer towing equipment. A flat towing system connects a compatible vehicle behind a motorhome using a tow bar and vehicle baseplate, while conventional trailer towing generally uses a receiver hitch, ball mount and trailer coupler.
