Ultimately the tow bar will want to skid the toad's front wheels laterally across the pavement. This creates forces that are not normal while towing, hence equipment isn't designed for it. None of it. Not the tow bar and attachment, the hitch receiver, or the motorhome's chassis.
Or the car's chassis for that matter! LOL
