Tow Bars and Towing Accessories Calgary
Tow Bars
The tow bar assembly transports vehicles — standard or automatic transmission — with all four wheels touching the ground. In general, tow bars are the easiest to use and the least expensive of the towing systems. Most tow bars are rated in classes from 5000 pounds to 10,000 pounds, sufficient to handle most any towed vehicle…
Tow Dolly
A short, two-wheeled trailer that transports the towed vehicle with two of its wheels off the ground. The dolly is first coupled to the motorhome. Then the towed vehicle is driven up the ramps so that the two drive wheels rest on the dolly and the other two wheels are on the ground. The toad is then secured to the dolly with straps and/or chains. Tow dollies are not applicable to rear-wheel-drive vehicles, because vehicles should not be towed backward.
Trailer
A trailer makes it possible to tow a vehicle with all four wheels totally off the ground. This eliminates concerns about automatic transmission damage and odometer mileage accumulation and saves wear and tear on the body and tires of the towed vehicle. If a base plate is not available for towing four wheels down, or if you want to tow more than one vehicle that you own, a trailer might be the best option.
RV Tow Bar
An RV tow bar lets you flat tow your vehicle behind your motorhome with all four wheels on the ground. Modern systems use self-aligning arms and non-binding latches to make hookup fast and stress-free, even on uneven campsites. Paired with vehicle-specific base plates, an RV tow bar gives you a strong, reliable connection for confident towing on every trip.
Flat Tow Brake System
A flat tow brake system helps your towed vehicle slow down in sync with your RV, reducing stopping distance and wear on your coach brakes. Options range from portable units like RVibrake 4 to permanently installed systems like RVibrake Shadow 2, both designed for quick setup and smooth, proportional braking. It’s a key safety upgrade and often required by law when towing above certain weight limits.
Brake System
A supplemental brake system is the finishing piece of a complete towing setup, adding an extra layer of control and protection for you, your passengers, and your RV. By applying the towed vehicle’s brakes during stops, your ring stays stable and overall braking performance is dramatically improved. Our Hitch Pros can recommend the right brake system for your specific setup.
The New CURT Seeker
Flat towing made easier, lighter, and more confident
The CURT Seeker tow bar is built for RVers who want quick hookups, smooth towing, and dependable performance on every trip.Its lightweight, all-terrain design makes it easy to handle while the robust construction is engineered to tow your vehicle safely behind your motorhome. With upgraded latch and pivot technology, the Seeker helps you line up and connect, even on uneven ground. Once you’re on the road, the bar tracks quietly and evenly behind your RV, reducing stress on both your coach and your towed vehicle.
The CURT RVibrake Shadow 2
Always-ready, built-in braking for flat towing
The CURT RVibrake Shadow 2 is a permanently installed supplemental braking system that works automatically every time you tow. It senses when your RV slows and applies the towed vehicle’s brakes with a fast, smooth response. Because everything is mounted out of sight, there’s no box to move, no setup at each stop, and less clutter in your vehicle. Paired with the Bullseye wireless monitor, you can confirm braking performance from the driver’s seat and tow with confidence.
