| Hello everyone, any idea what kind of loss in mpg will I get on my 2011 sienna by pulling my 74 westy? Guess I'm getting about 19mpg highway right now. I'm thinking of pulling it for trips from florida to new York and Texas. Not to sure about driving the bus that far? |

| Jeremy made me a tow bar a couple of weeks ago and I could not be happier. I have used it twice so far, once on a 78 transporter, and once on a 78 Riviera. It worked flawlessly both times, even going 65mph for 50 miles! Thank you! |

Jeremy's rack clamps work perfect. Much better than the bent old clamp shown in the middle.
I painted the clamps and wingnuts grey myself. They come unfinished and are a great deal. _________________ Stan's Classic Service, specializing in air-cooled VWs: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=614073

Got me a 68-71 hitch from Jeremy for my '70 bus
I was very pleased with his customer service and quick shipping
The hitch is really impressive - well designed and finely crafted.
Fits great - Thanks again!

Made my own rack design and wanted the best clamps available out there,
Jeremy's clamps helped me so very very much to finish the unit.
Thank you Jeremy |

Towing BayWindows is what we do. When we don't feel like pulling the trailer and a tow bar will do, that is how we roll. Our original BustedBus towbar finally was broken (don't ask!). Just received Jeremy's bar as a replacement and it looks phenomenal. No detail was missed in his design and manufacture.
Buy this tow bar and support folks like Jeremy who go out of their way to make a high quality product! _________________ Chris- BustedBus!

| I just got my tow bumper hitch set up from this guy. Damn quick on building and shipping mine out especially since I wanted some custom mods to mine for my bus. I highly recommend him, superior work and craftsmanship. Thanks Jeremy. |

Ordered from Jeremy and after telling him what I needed (as I am Disabled) he made my 2 piece tow bar. It came in record time and was just what I had ordered. I had to wait for a friend to mount the part under my 71 Bus and make a mod to the bus so I could drive it with it installed. We just got back from an initial trip towing the Peace Bus behind our 28 ft Swinger motor home. It worked out so well we are looking forward to a trip across the U.S. this summer and will have the Peace Bus with us to enjoy the whole time.
I highly recommend the tow bar that Jeremy has and the service is so personal and fast it is amazing.

I bought a set of bars and although I have not had a chance to try them out yet, if they work as slick as they go together I will be really happy. They fold down nice and small too....same size as the beetle tow bar. Jeremy was good to deal with, quick responses and tracking info with fast cross boarder shipping.
Almost had to use it this past weekend.....got lucky and was able to replace the fuel pump in the field instead. Was well prepared as I had neither a spare pump nor the tow bars with me.....luckily the local town had the spare pump.
many thanks

| Great and fast service. Within a week after ordering a hitch for my 71 Bay the hitch was delivered to my house. The fit is good but I'll have to wait until a new engine is installed to actually try towing my little trailer. |

| Great product, super fast shipping. Towed a 1977 Camper with a 35' Camper 1600 miles round trip from Ft Lauderdale to North Carolina mountains outside Ashville. No issues at all and great to have our little camper in the mountains. Thanks for a great product and getting it delivered well before we had to leave. Tried to post a picture, but didnt work on this site. |

| Back to report that after a 7000 mile trip the tow bar performed as advertized. The mod of the tab needs to be re-addressed and will be done soon. During the towing it bent the tabs and I had to use a pair of vice grips to get the bar back into the stowed position. Not a real problem other than weakening the tab. Will be trying out a hinge type of tab to be put in an out of the way position while the bar is in the tow position. |

Jeremy's tow bar is the best! I bought one a number of years ago and had friends borrow it many times before I even got to use it. Eventually, word got out and friends of friends of friends started to ask me to borrow this, so I just ordered another one to sell or rent out. Still debating on that. Jeremy stays in contact with you, ships when he says he will, and provides you with a tracking number. I highly recommend this tow bar, but be careful, you will start to become very popular in the bus community if you buy it! _________________ Alex

I order Jeremy's Tow bar on Tuesday and got it the following week Wednesday. I have not used it yet but it was great dealing with Jeremy.
I highly recommend doing business with Jeremy.
The tow bar arrived with directions, went together quickly and when you disassemble it, stores in a compact small space.
Great work Jeremy |
