In the olden days, it was not uncommon to use one coach to tow another for breakdowns or transport reasons etc. I've seen plenty of older coaches with front tow bars.
It's not as common as it used to be... probably for the best.

At our dealership, the owners of this set up said it was to plug in a accessory, such as a bike carrier, a spare tire carrier, or a cargo carrier.

I guess if hooking into the air brakes of the other coach it would be possible but talk about making your coach a slug! Lol

My bad! I have to admit I have been camping since 1968 and have never seen that.

Reminds me of driving through downtown Houston on I-45 last year. Especially the shot of the frig door swinging open.

I saw an all black DP with all sorts of decals of animals and places all over it, that might be hard to cool.

Travel Trailer
TT pulled into the campground. The roof was completely coated in black tar that had slopped down the side. My guess is the DW complained of a leaky roof and wasn't going to spend the $ for the proper roof coating. DH in a foul mood slapped the tar on without taping off the sides.
