I am now towing my Syncro Westy behind the motor home. Go to
http://www.roadmasterinc.com/bracketresults.mv for the brackets. Find a
dealer that will give better price than the factory direct. (I paid $136 at
the North American RV Rally in March. You will also need a tow bar to go
with it. These brackets only required drilling two holes to install. I can
take some pictures this weekend. Note that many states now require brakes on
towed vehicles. Good luck.

I'm thinking of installing one to tow it cross country (Ohio to Arizona).
Any recommendations on brand (giving a used one a home would be ideal!) or
warnings would be appreciated.  I'm planning on removing the axles to
preserve the drivetrain.

TIA
