How To Lubricate a Blue Ox Tow Bar

We've now had over a decade of trouble-free full-time service from our Blue Ox tow bar, and it requires very little maintenance. But when the arms start feeling a little "sticky" (requiring a stronger pull to extend or retract them) it means the grease inside the bellows has begun to get old or dry and needs to be replaced. We re-lubricate our tow bar every year as part of our annual spring cleaning and maintenance.

It's a quick and easy job that can be accomplished in short order by just about anyone with a couple of basic tools. As you'll see in this video, no special skills are required.



We don't pretend to be experts on any particular RV topic, and mostly know about maintaining our own rig. But many systems are the same on different RVs. The advice we give works well for us, but be sure to consult a professional technician if you're unsure about working on your own RV.
