My local hitch guy says the bolt-ons are not good (obviously he wants to charge major $$ to weld on).

I'm really leaning towards the Roadmaster base plate and the Hercules (newer version of the ReadyBrute) tow bar w/ integrated surge brake.

I have used bolt on base plater on five different toads the last 23 years of rving. Never had one fail and haven’t heard of one failing. I would trust a bolt on over a welded one. Sounds like someone wants some extra money to me.
