Dethmers Mfg Co

<h3>About Demco – Dethmers Manufacturing Company</h3><p><strong>Demco</strong>, the brand name of Dethmers Manufacturing Company, has been a cornerstone of the American towing and trailer industry since its founding in 1950. <a href="/7312-dethmers-mfg-co">Dethmers Mfg Co</a> was established in Boyden, Iowa, by Robert Dethmers, initially serving the agricultural sector with fertilizer application equipment. Over the decades, the company evolved into one of the most diversified metal goods manufacturers in the country, expanding into RV towing, trailer components, and recreational vehicle accessories.</p><p>The pivot that truly defined Demco's legacy came in the early 1980s, when a downturn in the agricultural economy led founder Bob Dethmers to acquire the patents for the self-steering Kar Kaddy tow dolly — a product that would make the Demco name synonymous with safe, smart RV towing. Today, the company operates out of facilities spanning nearly half a million square feet across Boyden and Spencer, Iowa, serving agricultural, recreational, trailer, rental, and marine markets both nationally and internationally.</p><p>Demco's product philosophy centers on innovation, durability, and ease of use. Their <a href="/7312-dethmers-mfg-co-tow-bar-1200">tow bars</a> are widely regarded as some of the most feature-rich in the industry. Demco was among the first manufacturers to engineer a tow bar with independently moving arms, and their current lineup — spanning the Commander, Dominator, and Escali-Bar series — all feature the patented Easy Trigger Release mechanism for effortless hookup and disconnection. Whether you're a seasoned full-time RVer or an occasional tower, Demco tow bars are engineered to take the stress out of flat towing.</p><p>Beyond tow bars, Demco produces a broad ecosystem of towing and trailer accessories. Their <a href="/7312-dethmers-mfg-co-winch-1240">winches</a> are purpose-built for secure load control, commonly found on their tow dollies and trailer systems where reliable strap tensioning is essential. The brand's trailer component products are trusted by some of the biggest names in trailer manufacturing, making Demco a go-to source for structural and functional hardware like <a href="/7312-dethmers-mfg-co-frame-crossmember-bracket-45815">frame crossmember brackets</a>. For drivers who spend time on the road with a loaded trailer, Demco's <a href="/7312-dethmers-mfg-co-spare-tire-hoist-20541">spare tire hoists</a> offer a practical, well-engineered solution for carrying backup tires securely.</p><p>What sets Demco apart from competitors is not just product breadth, but a commitment to continuous improvement backed by over seven decades of hands-on manufacturing experience. Their in-house engineering, laser cutting, and welding capabilities allow tight quality control from raw material to finished product. The company's guiding principle — doing their best to provide customers with the best — isn't just a slogan; it's reflected in the reliability that RV owners, trailer operators, and outdoor enthusiasts have come to depend on.</p>

Easy peavey and amazon helps

So far so good! Received item, great price, fast shipping! Would definitely buy from again.

You need to change the &quot;Review&quot; section on your website. It's pretty obvious that the reviews associated with the coresponding parts have nothing to do with the actuall part being sold!! Super annoying!!! Your prices are great, but your shipping charges are ridiculous!!!

Good order experience although I received one confusing email from Autoplicity and had to call them to get it straight. Shipping was a little slower than I would have liked.

I did receive the parts I ordered in a timely manner. I was not given a confirmation number so I didn't know when to expect my delivery other then that my experience was good.
