Commander 2 · 9511012
6,000 lb rated tow weight · 41 lb tow-bar weight
The steel model in Demco's RV-mounted Victory Series lineup. A practical selection where its rated capacity covers the actual towed vehicle.
Demco Flat-Tow Bars: Commander 2, Dominator & Excali-Bar 3
Demco's Victory Series tow bars all attach to an appropriately rated motorhome receiver, but their construction, handling weight and towing limits differ. Commander 2 is the 6,000-pound steel model, Dominator is the lighter 7,500-pound aluminum model, and Excali-Bar 3 is the heavier-duty 10,500-pound option. The right model must suit the weight of the vehicle being flat towed and its approved baseplate connections.
What to check before choosing a flat-tow bar
Vehicle weight and tow ratingsCheck the actual towed vehicle weight and the motorhome receiver rating. A tow bar's capacity does not increase the ratings of the coach, chassis or baseplate.
Baseplate connectionDemco bars connect to suitable baseplates with the correct mounting ears and pins. An adapter may be necessary for another manufacturer's baseplate; verify exact applications before ordering.
Handling and alignmentAll three bars fit a standard 2-inch motorhome receiver and have Demco's non-binding Easy Trigger release, self-supporting arms and included safety cables. A built-in 1½-inch rise/drop receiver can help with alignment.
Flat towing requires a complete setup. Confirm the vehicle manufacturer permits four-wheels-down towing and follow its drivetrain procedure. Supplemental braking, lighting and an appropriate breakaway arrangement may be required. The exact baseplate, connectors, cable routing and motorhome ratings must all be checked independently.
Demco Victory Series tow bar MPN chart
Demco's published tow-bar weights exclude the separate mass of any vehicle-specific baseplate or optional accessories. All three models mount in a 2-inch RV receiver and stow at the motorhome when disconnected.

Common flat-tow questions
Is the 7,500-pound Dominator heavier than Commander 2?
No. Demco lists Dominator at approximately 30 pounds, versus 41 pounds for the 6,000-pound Commander 2. They use different constructions; compare both the lifting weight and capacity.
Do the three bars work with every towed vehicle?
No. The vehicle must be approved for flat towing and have the correct rated baseplate, attachment hardware and towing procedure. Confirm the specific model and year; tow-bar capacity alone is not a fitment chart.
Are safety cables supplied with the tow bars?
Demco lists safety cables as included in the Victory Series tow bars. Inspect the specific kit contents and use the manufacturer's required routing and connection points.
Does Demco 9523041 work with every Blue Ox baseplate?
Do not assume so. Demco identifies 9523041 as a mounting kit for connecting Demco tow bars to compatible Blue Ox baseplates. Confirm the actual baseplate model, connection ears and current manufacturer instructions.
Do I need a rise/drop adapter to flat-tow a car?
It depends on the difference between motorhome receiver height and towed vehicle connection height. Measure on level ground and follow Demco's permitted towing angle and mounting requirements before adding any extension or adapter.
Additional tow-bar geometry guidance
Need help understanding rise and drop measurements? See our RV flat-towing hitch-height reference. That guide covers a different brand of adapters; it does not establish compatibility with Demco tow bars.
Follow Demco's current operators manual and the towed vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Never exceed the lowest rated component in the complete towing system.
