When searching for the perfect towing set-up, the options of tow bars and towable vehicles are endless!
The majority of our customers use Blue Ox tow bars for dinghy towing – the Aladdin or the Aventa. The Blue Ox Aladdin is an aluminum tow bar used with vehicles up to 7,500 lbs. This is a fold-away motorhome mount tow bar that is extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver. It is also self-aligning with a three axis swivel design. The Blue Ox Aventa LX is a steel tow bar for use with towing vehicles up to 10,000 lbs. This, again, is a self-aligning motorhome mount tow bar. The Aventa uses new, cutting edge ball-in-socket design. Self-lubricating and self-tightening pivot joints are a great feature of this tow system. Both these Blue Ox systems come with a three year tow bar warranty and a three year warranty on the baseplate, which is sold separately.
Each class of RV is different as to what amount that can be towed – which can help to determine which Blue Ox tow system is the right fit for you. Here is a break-down of the Winnebago and Itasca models based on towing capacity:
