you must attach a hitch exten-

sion to the motorhome hitch re-

ceiver in order to use the Tow

Defender. This will extend the

distance between the motorhome

and the Tow Defender.

We recommend our 7½" ex-

tension (part number 071-75, pictured above) for this

purpose.

back (horizontal to the road). The exhaust cannot be directed

down, or a fire may result when the motorhome is parked in

dry, grassy areas, according to these manufacturers.

Redirecting the exhaust may void the manufacturer’s

warranty — several manufacturers stipulate a maximum of two

bends over the entire length of the exhaust pipe — more

than two 90

bends may cause back pressure to destroy

the exhaust pipe or force the exhaust back into the heating

system.

Redirecting the exhaust at any angle may be ineffective,

as far as avoiding damage to the Tow Defender fabric — the

exhaust would still be carried back and over (or under) the

fabric.

3. Heat from the generator exhaust could potentially dam-

age the fabric — the generator may run when the motorhome

is stationary, and the heat may not be dissipated as quickly

as it would be if the motorhome was moving.

Similarly, if the motorhome is stationary for an extended

period, with the engine idling, the Tow Defender fabric can

be damaged by heat from the engine exhaust.

4. Additionally, heat from recessed exhausts (for the furnace

and/or water heater) could conceivably cause damage, if they

were close enough to the fabric.

5. Heat from the exhaust of other systems, which ROAD-

MASTER is presently unaware of, may also cause dam-

age.

CAUTION

The mesh fabric may be warped or otherwise dam-

aged by the heat from exhausts at the rear of the mo-

torhome. Do not attach the Tow Defender so that the

mesh fabric is in close proximity to the engine exhaust

pipe.

If the exhaust is located directly below the Tow De-

fender, install a ‘turn down’ extension (sold separately)

on the engine exhaust (according to the manufacturer’s

recommendations), to redirect the exhaust away from

the fabric. The Tow Defender fabric may be warped or

otherwise damaged if a turn down extension is not in-

stalled, or if other exhausts which cannot be redirected

(recessed exhausts, or exhausts from “hydronic” heating

systems) are in close proximity to the fabric.

Under what conditions

could heat from exhaust pipes

damage the Tow Defender fabric?

1. Heat from the engine exhaust could potentially damage

the fabric — the temperature at the engine exhaust pipe can

be over 1,000

Fahrenheit, under certain conditions.

Install a “turn down” extension, as instructed above, if the

engine exhaust pipe is directly below the Tow Defender.

2. Heat from a “hydronic” heating system exhaust will dam-

age the fabric, if it is directed out the rear of the motorhome, in

close proximity to the fabric — the temperature at the exhaust

pipe may be between 500

and 600

Fahrenheit.

Many of these systems vent the exhaust at the side of

the motorhome. Side-vent exhaust will not damage the Tow

Defender fabric — only exhaust which is vented at the back

of the motorhome could potentially damage the fabric.

Some manufacturers stipulate that hydronic system

exhausts at the rear of the motorhome be directed straight

Some motorhome chassis have such a tight turning

radius that the Tow Defender may contact and cause

damage to the motorhome or towed vehicle during

sharp turns. For this reason, check the motorhome

turning radius before using the Tow Defender for the

first time — in an empty parking lot, attach the Tow

Defender, then have someone watch as you slowly

turn the motorhome sharply.

If the Tow Defender is too near the motorhome,

7½" hitch extension

(part number

071-75)

CAUTION — A hitch extension may be required.

For StowMaster

™

or StowMaster All Terrain

™

applications only…

Do not install a ball hitch extension with a drop for

the sole purpose of gaining adequate clearance for the

Tow Defender.

The StowMaster tow bar must be approximately

level. If the tow bar is not level, it may be damaged

during towing, or it may detach from the ball mount.

Refer to the StowMaster owner’s manual for ad-

ditional information.

Failure to follow these instructions may cause prop-

erty damage, personal injury or even death.

To ensure adequate clearance, the coupler on the

StowMaster or StowMaster All Terrain tow bar must

be mounted on a ball hitch extension with a drop of

at least two to four inches.

Otherwise, the coupler will wear through the Tow

Defender fabric if, while towing, any portion of the

fabric comes into direct contact with the coupler.
