If you are very, very careful with your towbar, you will not need these.
Translation: Better get a pair; you will need these.

Please forgive the intrusion (I have no experience with
nosewheel pant/towbar conflicts), but I'm wondering if a disc (donut) of 3M
clear 'leading edge tape' would accomplish the same thing. Especially if
there were a donut of aluminum bonded to the inside of the pant.

Or as I have done on several nosewheel pants, use a longer capscrew bolt, w
ith a=C2- fender washer between the head and a spacer so that the towbar
stud is outside the pants with the washer flush with the pants surface. The
washer prevents the towbar from ever entering the pants. Works, even for t
ow jockies not familiar with RVs. I got tired of repairing fiberglass rippe
d by the towbar not being on the stud.

I have something similar made out of aluminum that a friend with a lathe mad
e for me. I just bonded them on to the the wheel pants with structural adhes
ive. There was a short tube turned into the inside as part of it and I set t
hat into cotton flox on the inside to make a metal tube that the tow bar goe
s into. Stainless would probably be better because it is more scratch resist
ant.

I can honestly say I havent had any on/off problems with the Bogart tow bar - once
I figured out a trick, which is to use one of your legs as a fulcrum so you
can fully control the bar while you slowly close the jaws. Now, what line boys
do once out of my sight, I cannot say!

I did try leading edge tape. It's no match for an angry Bogert.
We use the Bogert bar and an electric tug. The tug is really the culprit
as it's pretty unwieldy.

Similar, but obviously not always successful: I open the Bogert then
clinch the lever arm open against the fork with my right hand. Then I put
the opposite side of the bar on into the fairing nice and snug. Then (one
very) carefully relax the levered side so it engages. Works 95% of the
time.
