Product Description
The Demco 9511012 Commander 2™ is a motorhome-mounted (receiver-mount) tow bar for flat towing a car or small SUV behind an RV. It is rated for 6,000 lb, mounts in a 2" x 2" receiver on the motorhome, and connects to a base plate on the towed vehicle. It is built from steel with an E-coat finish and weighs about 41 lb.
The self-supporting, independent arms telescope and move separately, which makes hookup easier because the motorhome doesn't have to be perfectly lined up with the towed vehicle. Demco's non-binding trigger release helps you unhook without fighting a bound-up arm. A built-in 1-1/2" rise/drop plus a tilting head helps match the hitch height to the base plate, and the arms swing to either side for storage on the motorhome.
Compatibility
- Fits Demco base plates directly
- Blue Ox, Roadmaster, Reese and Duncan base plates with the matching Demco adapter, sold separately
- 2" x 2" receiver hitch on the motorhome
Never exceed the lowest rating in your towing setup (motorhome hitch, tow bar, base plate or safety cables). If you add a hitch extension, longer safety cable extensions may be needed. Contact us with your base plate brand if you'd like help confirming fit.

Pro tipTow bar setup tips
- Rating first. The tow bar’s capacity must be higher than your towed vehicle’s loaded weight.
- Keep it close to level. Tow bar makers specify how far the motorhome hitch and the base plate connection can be apart in height — use a rise or drop receiver to bring them in range (see your tow bar’s instructions).
- Check base plate compatibility. Different brands connect differently; mixing brands requires the right adapter.
