Tow bars and Baseplates
What is a tow bar and baseplate?

A tow bar is a bar or attachment used for towing. In our case. A tow bar is for flat towing a vehicle behind a camper.

A baseplate is connection attached to the frame of the vehicle so a towbar can attach to it for flat towing.

Image of a real life system :

So, how would we do this in Stormworks? Better yet. How should we do it?... since im the only one who does this I can do what ever I really want.

Simple! Same way we would do it in real life
Note : Cable is purely decoration

Ok let me explain

If you are using a ridged tow bar as in it cant change its width, you can use these 3 width. The connectors are included in the width. So a light tow bar would be a single block between the two connectors

3 block width - Light
5 block width - Medium
7 block width - Heavy

For example :


Now time for some composite

For composite :

For the tow bar itself, the front connector should connect to the two rear connectors with composite. This is so it doesn't matter which way the tow bar is orientated. Composite will still travel down to the vehicle being towed.

And once you get it all together, you can get something like this

If everything is done right, it should work perfectly fine with SIBTaT

Note : This is the modern version of the standard. My vehicles use the old standards before I wrote this. So if you find errors in my vehicles, that's why.
