I purchased a collapsible tow bar from Jeremy and it is great! Rescued my son's '71 with zero issues. Have Jeremy install safety chains for you. I didn't, and that was my only inconvenience. Thanks Jeremy. |

Haven't tried out the bar yet, but looks great. Jeremy was very easy to work with and shipped it out very quickly. Thanks again! _________________ 1963 Single Cab

16oo amazing roadtrip miles later and,
Ah! ... Home Sweet HOME!!
Here's the rig we used to trip to North Carolina and get the Bus. It's a dodge ram 1500 with a 5.4L hemi and Jeremy Rock Jock's tow bar. Real comfy. Towed the Bus no problem, and lemme tell ya, If there was ever gonna be a problem flat-towing the bus like this, it would have happened on this trip. I was NOT gentle at times. 500 feet into the trip, I took a speed bump at full go. I dunno... I didn't see it. No prob! Then we stopped for the night in "Insanity Hills" West Virginia. I'm pretty sure WV road engineers were banned from making any straight roads, so there we are weaving back and forth while climbing foothills that would make the steepest hills in San Francisco blush... in the dark... in monsoon thunderstorm rain... Thru a construction zone with suicidal deers bolting here, there and everywhere. It was some pretty hairy driving, but the tow bar bested the test and again, no probs.
The other real test was on the border of North Carolina and Tennessee in the Great Smoky Mountains. We decided to visit a little swimming hole before making the long trek Northward-- our first real Bus Adventure, Whoooo!! Only issue was, getting there required taking a hairpin left hand turn transitioning into another insane hill. This particular hill was so bloody steep that on the way back, I couldn't get up it again on first go and the weight of the bus pulled the entire truck backwards (at a pretty good clip too) all while in gear. The second try I said, "F-it" Floored the truck & squealed my way up successfully (though barely). And if that wasn't test enough, the road to the watering hole was an un-necessarily narrow, gravelly, potholed "road" snaking its way next to the river. The edges were washed out at times. It was an exhilarating drive but well worth it! Just look at that swimming hole! Thank you Tow Bar!!

Great towbar !!! Jeremy is good communicator and shipped it very quickly.
I was skeptical but the towbar FIT PERFECTLY and it pulled my 1969 Bus from Fayetteville NC to Jacksonville FL and it worked like a dream!
Cruised about 65mph on 95 south and never felt sketchy at all.
Can't recommend enough, Thanks! |

another satisfied customer!!! I emailed Jeremy with a predicament and needed a tow bar quickly. Advised he could have one for me in three days. I was able to pick it up and tow my bus 165 miles without issue. Heavy duty bar and could tow at 65 mph. _________________ 71 Dormobile "The Sub"

|

Just received the hitch I have ordered from Jeremy.
Quick turnaround from order to delivery. Jeremy kept me updated throughout the whole process and replied to every questions I had.
I would order more things from Jeremy but I only needed one hitch.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for a hitch.
The hitch looks very well built and strong. The hitch is not a light weight one for sure.
I yet have to install it. I ll post pictures as soon as i do so. _________________ Deluxe BayWindow:

Bought the 2 piece bus tow bar and pulled a bus home with it from Alabama 800 miles. It worked great, no issues. It is well built and came nicely packaged. Very sturdy. I would not hesitate to do business again with Jeremy! _________________ Gnarly Goat Rancher |

I know I've posted here before, but just to give an idea as to the quality of his work, the latest tow bar I bought from him went on a 2400 miles round trip from Long Island to Tampa and back, with no problem. I didn't even take the wrapper off to keep the new smell on it.

Ordered a tow bar from Jeremy about week before Christmas and he had it to me within 10 days. Excellent service and great communication. I like the design as it is bolt on to existing frame holes. Came all welded up and painted gloss black. Had to run a tap through the nuts in my bus frame to clean 45 years of gunk out but after that it went on easily, perfect fit. Jeremy provided all the hardware with it. Only improvements I might suggest are adding washers for the bumper bracket bolts and maybe a one sheet set of instructions. I think most bus people can figure it out but might avoid folks emailing with how-to questions. Great product and great service... thanks! |

Love it ! Have towed like 6 buses so far, hooks up fairly quick. I agree that the brake boosters get pretty tight to attah the bar. Maybe a hook welded to be able attach safety chain. Thanks |
