Your next road trip starts with a connection you can count on. The CURT Rambler tow bar is designed for RVers who value strength, simplicity, and a stress-free setup. At under 40 pounds, Rambler is easy to handle and position. Automatic, hands-free locking arms secure instantly when youre ready to tow, while non-binding latches release effortlessly, even on uneven terrain. The extended arm length gives you more hookup radius and clearance, making tight spaces easier to manage. For lasting durability, three-lug shackle ends reduce wear on base plate tabs, polymer isolator washers minimize friction for smooth, quiet operation, and rubber sleeves with a fully sealed design keep out dirt and debris. Rambler also features active slide resistance for enhanced control when extending the arms. When its time to store, the patented three-position stowing keeps the tow bar neatly out of the way. The arms fold to the right or left, together or apart, to help keep them out of the way and unobstructed by a spare tire or other rear RV equipment. From weekend getaways to months-long road trips, the CURT Rambler tow bar is your reliable link between RV and adventure.

The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) capacity is 7,500 lbs. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended GVWR.
The receiver hitch and mounting tabs must be within 3 inches height difference above or below. If your vehicles exceed this, Curt offers leveling adapters at curtmfg.com.
No tools are required for installation.
The kit includes one tow bar, two 7-foot safety cables, and one hitch pin with clip. The tow bar lugs are secured to the towed vehicle with 1/2" pins and lynch pins (provided).
The manual does not specify battery disconnection as a requirement for installation.
Three torque specifications apply: the hitch pin is torqued to 10 ft.-lbs. (3–4 threads showing); the two arm attachment points are each torqued to 35 ft.-lbs. (1–2 threads showing). Refer to the 'Tow Bar Terminology' diagram on page 2 for exact locations.
Yes, safety cables are always required. The kit includes two 7-foot safety cables. They must be long enough to allow for turns without contacting the tow bar or latch handles, and must be crossed under the tow bar when attached to both vehicles.
Re-torque all fasteners after every 1,000 miles of towing. Check fasteners before each use.
The Curt 70015 is a tow bar designed for flat towing a vehicle behind a towing vehicle equipped with a receiver hitch. It has a 7,500 lbs. gross vehicle weight rating capacity. The tow bar includes two arms that extend to connect the towed vehicle's mounting tabs to the towing vehicle's receiver hitch, and it comes with two safety cables for backup connection.
The Curt 70015 requires a receiver hitch on the towing vehicle and mounting tabs on the towed vehicle. The receiver hitch and mounting tabs must be within 3 inches of height difference. The manual does not specify which vehicle models or types are compatible; contact Curt Manufacturing at 877-287-8634 or curtmfg.com for fitment confirmation.
No. The manual explicitly states: 'Never exceed more than one point of connection between the towing vehicle and the tow bar. Example: Using a leveling adapter between the towing vehicle and tow bar is acceptable. Using a leveling adapter and extension is dangerous and not acceptable.' You may use either a leveling adapter or an extension, but not both.
Yes. Position the towed vehicle on a level surface squarely behind the towing vehicle in the approximate towing position. This makes hooking up safe and easy. Both vehicles must be in park when hooking up or unhooking.
Insert the tow bar shank into the receiver hitch tube of the towing vehicle and secure it with the provided hitch pin and clip. The tow bar has two pin positions on the shank; it is recommended to use the shortest position when possible.
While supporting the tow bar shank, pull both arms upward 90° and rotate them 90° to move them out of storage position. Then rotate the arms into the towing position. Make sure the latch housings are facing upward. If necessary, refer to the 'Storage Positions' section on page 6.
While lifting the latch handle, extend each arm to the vehicle tabs. Position the tow bar lug between the vehicle base plate tab and secure with the provided 1/2" pin and lynch pin. Ensure the lynch pin is in the proper orientation and the folding ring closes completely.
Pull forward slightly with the towing vehicle until one or both locking handles are engaged. The handles will snap down to a vertical position when locked. If only one handle is engaged, turn the towing vehicle's steering wheel towards the locked tow bar arm while slowly driving forward. Always verify both handles are in the locked position before towing.
Attach the provided safety cables to the hitch's safety chain loops or a solid part of the towing vehicle's chassis. Cross the cables as you run them under the tow bar toward the towed vehicle. Attach them to the towed vehicle's base plate convenience links or a solid part of the chassis. Verify the cable hooks are fully seated and the safety springs are closed and snapped against the hooks. Safety cables must not be hooked on themselves, kinked or knotted.
Disengage the parking brake, set up the transmission for towing, and unlock the steering wheel. Follow your towed vehicle's owner's manual for all steps needed to flat tow your vehicle.
1. Park both vehicles on a level surface in a straight line. Both vehicles must be in park. 2. Unhook the electrical and safety cables. 3. Pull up on the arm latches to disengage the arms. 4. Remove the lynch pins and pull out the 1/2" pins from the tow bar tabs and lugs. 5. While pulling up on the arm latches, retract each arm until it hits an internal hard stop. 6. Place the 1/2" pins back into the tow bar lugs and secure with the lynch pins.
To store the tow bar: 1. While holding the arms horizontal, push them inward towards each other. 2. Lift both arms to the vertical position, making sure the pivot block is square to the storage block. 3. Lay both arms to the passenger side, to the driver side, or one arm in each direction. Ensure the arms are fully seated in the storage block to prevent them from dislodging during travel. The manual recommends the tow bar be removed from the vehicle or covered when not in use.
Before towing, verify that both latch handles are in the locked position. Ensure the safety cables are long enough to allow for turns without making hard contact with the tow bar or latch handles. Inspect the safety cables prior to towing and never use damaged cables. Inspect the tow bar and towing system for cracked welds, loose, worn or damaged parts. Do not tow with a damaged or worn tow bar or towing system.
Never back up while flat towing a vehicle. Damage to both vehicles and the towing system may occur.
Safety or electrical cables becoming entangled with the latch handles could cause one or more arms to collapse, resulting in major damage, injury or death. To prevent this, ensure safety cables are long enough to allow for turns without making hard contact with the tow bar or latch handles. Never wrap cables around tow bar arms. Cross the cables under the tow bar when attaching them.
Be sure towing and towed vehicles are aligned with proper tire air pressure. Low air pressure and misaligned vehicles may cause excessive wear, poor vehicle tracking and extra stress on your towing system.
No. Never use the towed vehicle for storage, as this may cause you to exceed the capacity of the tow bar or your towing system.
Avoid rough terrain and sharp turns. Severe bumps can damage your towing system. Allow for additional time and space for stopping, changing lanes, passing and turning, as vehicle performance (braking, handling, acceleration, turning radius) can be drastically affected by the towed vehicle.
Clean the tow bar after each use with warm soapy water and dry with towels. The manual recommends the tow bar be removed from the vehicle or covered when not in use. Check fasteners before each use and re-torque them after every 1,000 miles.
If the arms become difficult to move in and out: 1. Remove the zip tie securing the rubber bellow and slide it back. 2. Clean the inner rods with a silicone spray or brake cleaner. 3. Apply a light coating of multipurpose grease to each rod and actuate in and out until it slides smoothly. 4. Re-secure each bellow with a UV-rated nylon zip tie. If the rubber bellows are cracked or damaged, replace them immediately.
Check your towing system after any unusual event and periodically on a long trip. Inspect the tow bar and towing system for cracked welds, loose, worn or damaged parts. Do not tow with a damaged or worn tow bar or towing system.
Rear lighting is required on the towed vehicle. Curt offers RV harnesses and other lighting options at curtmfg.com.
When operating the tow bar, ensure you are in a safe position from vehicle movement and pinch points. When disengaging the arms, ensure you are in a safe position from vehicle roll and pinch points. Verify adequate clearances between both vehicles and your towing system in all maneuvering situations.
Lifting the latch handle eases moving the arms in and out and aids in maneuvering. The handle snaps downward when the arm is fully extended to the locked position, and you lift the handle to release the arm from the locked position.
If only one locking handle is engaged, turn the towing vehicle's steering wheel towards the locked tow bar arm while slowly driving forward. This will help engage the second arm. Always verify both handles are in the locked position prior to towing.
1. Remove the zip tie securing the rubber bellow and slide it back. 2. Clean the inner rods with a silicone spray or brake cleaner. 3. Apply a light coating of multipurpose grease to each rod and actuate in and out until it slides smoothly. 4. Re-secure each bellow with a UV-rated nylon zip tie. If the rubber bellows are cracked or damaged, replace them immediately.
