Took delivery of a 2005 U320 that is replacing our 1996 model. Had a few minor problems but they repaired them and we are on our way west on I20.
Looking good, Congrats

Great paint scheme!
Made it to Hutchins Tx and lost a tow pin on the towbar. Saw the jeep move to one side and I was able to stop safely. Now we get to wait till morning for parts. I will put safety cables on the pins so they stay with the bar.
been there, done that. Element wanted to pass the U-270 once when I lost a pin......only damage was to the hitch
My pins won't/can't come out if you flip the bail one way, but will if you close them the other direction. Â So I check and double check when I connect. Â So far so good
tractor supply has everything if one nearby, loses and HD have enough to get you going
We lost a pin towing our Honda, and saw the Honda in the passenger side mirror and then in the driver side mirror. Took us a while to find a place to stop.
We no longer reply on the standard hardware only. We tie each pin in place with 1/4 inch cord and old fashioned square knots.
best, paul
Every pin associated with my tow bar is secured by a padlock. I feel relatively secure (knock on wood). Plus I have two safety cables. I know each passing CHP officer is looking for safety cables.
Congrats on the new, very nice coach. Glad you were able to stop safely.
:o :-[ I have been so embarrassed since this happened to me less than a month ago, now I feel like I just attended a "support group". Tow Pins Anonymous. Or Pin Heads (pun intended)
I thought I had lost power when the toads' brakes were applied. Without a rear view camera on my class C, I never thought it was related to the tow bar. Very scary feeling.
Congrats! It is beautiful!
We have learned to carry spares of many items--including the connecting pins.
Sitting at Tractor Supply waiting for them to open. I will be buying more than one. I am just concerned why it came out. I am guessing the retaining clip was damaged in some way.
Very nice!!! Happy travels
Beautiful coach! Enjoy it to the fullest.
While you are there, buy a new locking pin for your receiver hitch. When we upgraded our tow bar we used the old locking pin ... an easy-to-find item for maybe $15?? about 3 weeks later, the locking part popped off (or the broke) and the tow bar pulled out of the receiver going up a hill. Coming DOWN the hill, it was sliding along the pavement, making a noise I just happened to hear because my little side window was open! Jeff saw the Jeep in his rear view mirror and we came to a gentle stop (THANK YOU AIRFORCE 1!!) No damage to coach or car ... tow bar a total wreck ... all because we didn't replace the cheap item!
Don't know what tow bar you have, but Foretravel advised us a week ago that they no longer sell Blue Ox tow bars OR parts--- they have had two cases of broken (failed) pins that apparently fell out after breaking. Just an FYI, I was looking for parts on the one that came with my "new" 96 U320.
Here is Blue Ox factory ---1 888 425 5382 ---- , here is an outlet number----1 866 332 7881---- don't know much about Blue Ox , only pulled with them for 300,000 plus miles , and only pull 9700 pounds , so they probably aren't any good . Brad Metzger
On our last trip one of the set screws on our Blue Ox towbar fell out. I called the factory to find out the size of the set screw, and they sent me a whole repair kit absolutely free.
BTW, there was a pair of deadly tornadoes that hit up there about a month ago. I asked whether they were affected, and they said the factory itself was not but some of their employees were.
Nice coach Steve. Love the paint.
see ya
