Towing your vehicle behind a motor home has now become very
common and most motor home owners report that towing a car has little or no effect
on handling and mileage. Yet many questions remain about towing with all four wheels
on the ground verses using a 2 wheel dolly. Owners agree that towing with four wheels
down -
-
Gives you quicker hookups of the car with a tow bar than
loading and unloading a dolly
-
Means less equipment cost with Remco equipment than dolly
-
Means less equipment to maintain
-
Means less weight to tow (35 lbs. tow bar verses 500 lbs..
dolly)
-
Can use tow bar on any highway in US and Canada
-
Avoid dolly restrictions at camp ground
-
Tow bar easier to store than a dolly
Remco's are the most convenient and easy way to tow your
car, truck, or van on all four wheels. Whether it's large or small, front or rear
wheel drive. Remco has what you need to tow it behind your motor home. Tow it the
easy way, on all four wheels. More convenience and less risk than other systems.
We offer disconnects in two different configurations:
-
Drive Shaft Couplings for automatic transmissions with
rear wheel drive
-
Lube-Pumps cools the automatic transmission fluid when
towing
-
Axle-Lock disconnects for disengaging the automatic transmission
of a front wheel drive vehicle, These units are no longer available, information for reference only!
Concerned about accumulating mileage on the towed vehicle
(toad) when towing. There is, of coarse, no mileage accumulation with the driveline
disconnect or the axle lock systems. These two products disengage the drive
train for towing and the vehicle is towed with the transmission in Park. This
means there is no rotational movement in the transmission. The speedometer
drive gears are not turning. Now that electronic speedometers have replaced
the old cable-driven units, logging mileage is a thing of the past, even with the
lube-pump kits. The only exceptions are vehicles with the sensors on the front
or rear wheels and the 1996 and newer Chrysler mini-vans
.
Remco's Drive Shaft Coupling
Prevents automatic transmission damage to your rear axle
drive vehicle. When you tow your rear axle drive car, van or pickup, the drive
shaft to the rear axle must be disconnected to prevent damage to the automatic transmission.
This requires mechanical service under the car which is not convenient for RV towing.
Remco's Drive Shaft Couplings was developed to provide a quick and easy means of
disconnecting the transmission while sitting in the driver's seat. The coupling (mechanical
clutch) is installed into the rear portion of the car's drive shaft, near the rear
axle.
When disconnected the rear axle is free to turn without turning the drive shaft or
transmission. The coupling has a control  cable attached to it which extends
to a location under the driver's seat. This control is pulled out to disengage for
towing and pushed into engage for driving the vehicle.

Remco's Axle-lock Coupling
Disconnects the automatic transmission for towing
a front wheel drive vehicle. The Axle-Lock is a mechanical disconnect built
into the vehicle's front drive axle. A single Axle-Lock is installed into the right
front axle (passenger side). When the Axle-Lock is placed into a
disengaged position, the transmission will not turn and the speedometer will not
register mileage.
To understand the principle of the transmission disconnect,
where only one axle is disconnected, you should understand the built in effect of
a differential. It is commonly known that with both drive wheels off the ground,
and the transmission in "park" position, when one wheel is turned forward,
the other wheel freely turns in the opposite direction. With the Axle-Lock in the
disengaged position, the left wheel can turn forward while a portion of the right
axle connected to the Axle-Lock turns freely in the opposite direction.  The right
wheel also turns freely with its axle disconnected at the Axle-Lock.
This same principle used in the Axle-Lock, is used by several
US and foreign manufactures of 4 wheel drive vehicles to disconnect the extra axle.
Disengaging and engaging is accomplished by reaching around the front tire, and rotating
the Axle-Lock housing one-third turn; clockwise to engage, and counter-clockwise
to disengage. Steering the front wheels to the far right, allows easy access to the
Axle-Lock.

Remco's Lube Pump
When your vehicle with an automatic transmission is driven,
the transmission is lubricated by an  engine-driven transmission fluid pump. When
the vehicle is towed, this engine-driven pump does not operate. Another means of
lubrication is needed. REMCO'S Lube Pump was developed to provide a reliable lubrication
system for the transmission while it is being towed. To tow your vehicle, connect
the cable and turn on the switch on the monitor in the motorhome and you are ready
to go.

lubrication.

Full volume selector valve directs oil for driving or
towing.

the transmission
