Roadmaster Tow Bar Feature Descriptions

Freedom Latch

• Eliminates binding ("all terrain" denotes tow bars with the Freedom Latch)
  • Lets you disconnect your dinghy and tow bar the first time, every time, even when not parked on level ground
  • Releases tension in the telescoping arm with the pull of a lever
    • This is accomplished by allowing the locked, telescoping arms to be unlocked, allowing for more movement and extension of the arms for unhooking

Storage Latch

• Patented storage latch allows the RV-mounted tow bar to be neatly stowed at the rear of the motor home
  • Keeps tow bar up and out of the way
  • Automatically latches tow bar into place when folded up
  • Simply pull lever to release the tow bar
• StowMaster car-mounted tow bars have an alternative storage option
  • Mount on the dinghy when not being used
  • Fold in on the crossbar of the StowMaster tow bar

Integrated Cable Channels

• Cable channels are designed to protect your safety cables and wiring from dragging and road debris
  • Each tow bar arm will have one channel through which wiring and safety cables can thread
• See chart for list of tow bars that come with integrated cable channels
  • Sterling all-terrain model tow bars include safety cables and wiring with the integrated cable channel

Autowlock Arms

• Telescoping arms can be extended to varying lengths to make hooking up to base plates easier
  • Dinghy does not have to be the perfect distance from the RV to attach the tow bar
• Once the motor home and dinghy pull away in a straight line, the arms self-center and automatically lock into place

Quick Disconnects

• Most Roadmaster tow bars require quick disconnects to attach to the tow bar
• Two plates that interlock, connecting the drawbar arm of the base plate and the crossbar of the towbar
  • The dinghy side of the quick disconnect is bolted to the base plate drawbar arms
  • The tow bar side of the quick disconnect is typically integrated into the crossbar
  • The base plate end and the tow bar end clasp together and are held in place using linch pin setup
• Quick disconnects are included with most Roadmaster tow bars (except the Tracker)

Crossbar

• All Roadmaster tow bars come with a cross bar to provide strength and reinforcement for the towing and base plate setup
• A crossbar can be the link between the tow bar arms and the base plates on the dinghy
  • The crossbars included with Roadmaster tow bars are designed to be used with quick disconnects
  • Crossbar is connected to the tow bar with pins and clips
  • Crossbar is connected to the vehicle base plates using quick disconnects and linch pins
• Crossbars are not required for use with MX and MS base plates
  • Vehicles that use MX or MS base plates have a stronger frame to support the weight of the vehicle while being towed
• StowMaster tow bars cannot be detached from the crossbar
  • StowMaster tow bars are not compatible with MX or MS base plates
