Having experienced a tow bar failure myself on our last coach, I have three things to say about it.
- Thank God for the safety chains.
- Maneuver gently and come very slowly to a stop.
- When connecting, always criss cross the safety chains under the tow bar. (don't ask how I know)
Mine broke loose during a turn. I stopped smoothly but a little too quickly and did damage to the front corner of my toad non done to the rv.
