Where do you stow your towing “stuff”

[MRUSA14]

None of that stuff ever leaves the back end of my coach. My Roadmaster Sterling towbar has the safety cables and umbilical cord integrated with the towbar. I just throw a towbar cover over the whole shebang and there it sits. I've been doing it this way since 2003 with zero problems.

This. I have a ReadyBrute Elite towbar and the only thing that comes off is the brake cable and that just goes in the closest storage compartment.

I use a Ready Brute tow bar and everything stays on the back of the motorhome. Nothing to store. I just put a cover on everything to make it look less disorganized. Just folds up and hangs on the hitch.

I keep a plastic storage box with all that stuff in the back of the toad.

I use a 12" tool tote from Harbor Freight - you can get them on sale for $7 or so. Very sturdy and durable. Holds all my cables, pins, connectors, gloves, screwdriver, pliers,mallet, flashlight - pretty much anything I might possibly need connecting or disconnecting. The handle feature is nice too.



I store it in the first bay next to the entry door on the passenger side.

We have a plastic bin with a lid to put the stuff in then store it in one of Motor Home bays.

I keep all my stuff in the right rear (inverter) storage compartment of my m/h, perfect for everything but the tow bar which is permanently locked onto the m/h hitch, and covered when not in use.

I also have a Roadmaster tow bar with the incorporated cables. When parked at home, I cover the entire assembly with a black trash bag when not in use. When camping, I have a nice Roadmaster cover.

My umbilical cord has the breakaway cable Velcro'd onto it, with a coiled airline around it. The entire assembly comes off as one cable. For years, I've used one of those black cloth duffle bags from Harbor Freight, to hold the cabling, gloves, and spare parts. I have a truck with a tonneau cover, so the bag just goes in the bed.

I doubt it would happen, but if someone steals my quick release tow bar mounts from the baseplate I would be stuck waiting for a pair to be shipped. Consequently, I remove both of those from the truck and place them in the bed of the truck. I have a rubber bed liner, so nothing moves around.

I bought a spare set of these and carry them as a backup.

Everything we use including gloves goes in a small tool bag and lives in the last compartment on street side.

Everything stays with the tow bar on the rear of the coach. Cover the tow bar and be done with it.

Same for me although my brake actuator won't fit and I store it in the back of the Jeep

I use an extra battery box that I had available. The box and Brake Buddy stored in its bag stay in the trunk of the Malibu.

I'm thinking all you folks who have to worry about your tow bar parts being stolen might need to rethink where you're park your RV.
