Above is a picture without the Falcon interface bar installed.I normally leave the lower interface bar's installed during the camping season and remove them each winter. The Falcon interface part I remove after each trip and stand it up in corner of garage.
This is a closeup of the driver's side interface showing my 6 wire connector's. Since I remove the interface bars, I am using two connector's here. One on the upper part which accepts the harness from the motorhome and a second on underneath which is a duplicate so I don't have to mess with wiring when I remove them. I have found that galvanized nailing plates, available from any building supply source make great mounting plates for these connectors and they don't rust. Thats why there are a lot of little holes in the one above.
I you use these, you will have to have some means of cutting a hole large enough to accept the connector though. Note the extra safety cable that is necessary since there is another removable interface.
This is a closeup of the passenger side interface that shows the pin that holds the interface bar in the lower receiver.
This is a full view of the passenger side interface showing the total assembly including the safety cable.
This is the Towmaster Falcon towbar on the rear of our motorhome. One nice feature is the rod that is provided to store the coiled electrical cable. This is mounted parallell with the interface on driver's side and stored cable is simply plugged in immediately after this side is attached to car. In the past, I had one devil of a time figuring out what to do with this cable since it is about twice as long as necessary. Now it ALL stores on the provided rod. I would like to have a set of the coiled safety cables but I had already purchased the standard ones and I will use them for now.
I can hook or unhook this setup in less than 5 minutes and that includes installation of the Brake Buddy in floorboard of the car.
I would appreciate feedback on the above information.
Was it useful to you or did it help you in any way?
