Got my tow bar less than a week after I ordered it! Look fantastic, very heavy duty and well put together with quality materials.

Thanks Jeremy!!

Received my towbar a few weeks ago but I wanted to wait until I used it to post feedback. It works great. I have logged thousands of miles with my bug towbar and Jeremy's bus towbar works equally well. The design and workmanship are excellent. Communication was great and shipping was fast. You make a great product. Thanks very much

I received my tow bar from Jeremy earlier this week. I ordered last week, Jeremy built and shipped it by Monday and it arrived in San Diego Friday. Excellent fast service. Jeremy communicated very quickly. I wasn't sure how it would be packaged to be sent through the mail but was done very well. The tow bar came without any damage. The tow bar looks of very high quality but I have not used it yet (I will be using it in a couple of weeks). I will report back after I use it.

I ordered a tow bar from Jeremy last week. It arrived yesterday! This was an excellent transaction. The tow bar is quite substantial, and I will be excited to try it out! Will be moving my bus over 200 miles next week.

I used the tow bar yesterday to pull my '70 Bay over 200 miles. The bar was ideal, and the transport went swimmingly. I did not have any problems with this bar. The bus behaved as it should. No sway or squirrel-ly moves.

Would highly recommend this tow bar for anyone pulling a bus. It's definitely worth the price.

It is WAAAY better than using a car dolly.

Thanks, Jeremy!

I paid Jeremy for a tow bar on Wednesday 11/2 and it arrived at my door just a week later 11/10. I was extremely happy with his response to emails prior to, during, and after the purchase. He provided the tracking information right away which was great.

Once I got it and unwrapped it, I was towing my bus right away and it was amazing! It was amazingly simple, very well built, and I just used it to tow my 1970 bus 250 miles without one problem.

If you need a tow bar buy it from Jeremy, it's amazing! Thank you so much for the wonderful product and service!

-Bjorn

Alright, I got the tow bar a couple of weeks ago and finally gave it a test run. I put it together in about 3 minutes and it took about 8 minutes to get it attached to the bus and my truck to tow it. Simple with no frills. No wiggle room (left or right) when backing up your towing vehicle to attach it but was not difficult. I only towed it a few miles to get a feel for it but everything worked out fine. I"ll attach some photo's and give more feedback when I get it behind my RV. The hitch on my truck looks a little high but still works fine. I"ll go and buy a drop hitch to make it align better. Overall a great product with a great price.

I have to concur with all the positive feedback about Jeremy's tow bar. It is very well made, designed for the bus, and was shipped quickly. The ability for this bar to break down is an added benefit.

I did have to take out the driver's side zerk on my 73 bay, but that took all of 35 seconds.

The bus towed very easily behind my xterra.

Very satisfied and highly recommended.

Ordered my towbar on Dec 19. Jeremy contacted me that it would be shipped on Dec 23. Arrived on Dec 27.

Beautiful construction. Great welds, solid, easy to put together. Great and strong design. As you can tell, I am REALLY happy with it. For the money, a great value.

Jeremy is THE MAN when it comes to towbars. Thank you, Jeremy, for selling such a great item.

I just bought a tow bar from Jeremy. It is very well built and looks bombproof. It came packaged well and he delivered in a very timely manner. I haven't towed with it but will comment when I do. I don't expect any issues. Overall, a great product with great communication from Jeremy.

7 days between the moment I ordered my hitch the building and the delivery ... That's what I call first class service...
I wish I had jeremy's talents when it comes to welding...
The work is perfect... It took me an hour to install the hitch on my 71 Bay Window... There's no instructions coming with the hitch but you really don't need it... I'm super satisfied not even talking about the very reasonable price... Jeremy when do you start making a roof rack ? I can find only one model more or less the same (very) expensive price and I just discovered that it was made in china... type "vw bus roof rack" in www.alibaba.com you'll see what I'm talking about... Buy american for f... sake and this is a french guy speaking...

Happy trails to you all

Mine got shipped within a week of ordering, and it made it from VA to CA in about a week. Had to make a couple of alterations so that it would work with my EMPI collection headers and exhaust.

Great construction, great service!!

Jeremy was quick to email me back. Shipping was fast and well packed. I have a 1966 so i did have to remove one side of the stabilizer for that year to put it on. Towed great and well built. This is the easiest way to move a project bus around. A++

got my towbar today
arrived on time which was awesome

Good response, shipped on time.

Installed in 10 mins, just had to remove 2 grease nipples around the brake booster.

Kind of dissapointed it says to not reverse at all with the towbar, was REALLY hoping i would be able to,, but great product, well made, shipped on time and delivered on time. Happy.

We got the tow bar today, very nice and heavy duty. Will work great to tow our Heilite trailer behind our Westy or double cab to the camp outs. Fast ship too! Thanks!

Fast shipping and a great product. I was finally able to get my Bus to a mechanic today. The Bus has an adjustable beam that is NOT lowered all the way but has a few inches of drop. 7 inch drop on the tow vehicle ball hitch worked great. Drives great and hooks up/unhooks faster than a tow-dolly.

Ordered a hitch from Jeremy for my bay window. Arrived FAST and the quality was A1. Installed without a hitch (pun intended). Included all hardware and instructions.

Can't recommend enough.
