no problem but can feel the bb when it is activated.

No they don't. I used a brake buddy which sat on the driver floor and applied the brakes.

I towed my 2004 PT Cruiser for about 40,00 miles. It was an automatic and I installed a Remco pump and also the base plate myself Remco has an adapter for the pump. Mounts on the left front shock mount. The base plate comes with excellent instructions and took me about 4 hours to do.
I looked for a PT with manual shift and finally went with the auto. It was great and kept it for 12 years and then sold it and now have a Honda CRV.
The Pt with manual will be great for you.

You normally have the hitch installed in the tow vehicle, then buy a tow bar and base plates at your RV dealer and have them installed there.

most Motorhomes have a hitch from the factory with the 7 pin plug already wired.

I've found the best/reasonable place for base plate installation is a hitch shop.

I assume you have checked the owner's manual for this?

I have seen a lot of them being towed. I always wanted a PT Woody, but never wanted a straight shift.
