Protect-a-tow rock guard
The rock deflector is designed to prevent rocks from hitting either the towed vehicle or the back of your motorhome, unlike those plastic ones that you mount to the front of towed vehicles (those deflect rocks into the back of your motorhome.) It's simple to use and hooks and unhooks in minutes.
Available in two lengths, the standard 60-71 inches and an extra long 72-83 inches since the material will stretch. Length is the distance between the rear bumper of the motor home and the front bumper of your towed vehicle. Both products are the same width which is about 7 foot 6 inches on the motor home side and about 4 foot 6 inches on the towed vehicle side. The standard size fits all of the tow bars we manufacture, but if you use a drop hitch, extension, or add a Ready Brake to a tow bar that doesn't have it integrated into it, you will need the extra long size due to the extra length.
If you have a diesel motor home with an exhaust pipe that points down at the rear bumper where this is installed at, don't use this product. The heat from that exhaust pipe can melt the fabric and might start a fire.

This towbar is awesome. It was easy to set up. I used it to tow my 94 Jeep Wrangler over 3,000 miles behind a class A RV. It was completely problem free and easy to use the whole way. I love the simple brake cable that relies on simple physics to make the tow vehicle brakes engage when the RV brakes engage. It worked great through steep mountain passes!

This is an ingenious design...excellent product for those wanting a dead simple braking system and tow bar in one. I cannot say enough good things about this robust and marvelous tow bar, and while I was using it, it performed very well.

Lightest, simplest, tow/brake system I could find. Beats the snot out of the "bowling-ball bag" types that you have to lug into and out of the driver's compartment.

Purchased my 1st Ready Brute from NSA in 2006. We pulled a Saturn Vue and later a Ford Edge. I just replaced with a new "Elite" a couple months ago. There was nothing wrong with the old equipment, it performed flawlessly from day 1. I find the brake system to be less invasive than some of the other forms of aux brake. Also very easy to set up a new vehicle to tow. Yes I would recommend.

I had mine coming on ten years and as you described simple, effective, & safe yet cost effective. No external power, vacuum or air pressure required for normal operation. Just connect the cable from the bar to the toad and your brake ready to head out. And don't for get to buy a break away kit.

The Hercules tow bar system work great couldn’t be happier. It’s easy to use and the surge brake works really well. I installed it myself with no problems.
