  • Can the Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-525 be Used with Roadmaster Base Plates
  • Using your Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates, item # RM-525, with Roadmaster Base Plates, item # 3160-3A, on your 2011 Chevy Equinox, will require the use of a set of Roadmaster Falcon Replacement Swivel Ears, item # RM-9200. You would need to remove the Blue Ox adapters each time and install the swivel ears if you will be switching between vehicles. A better solution, if you are switching between vehicles would be to go with the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 3160-1A, and a Road

  • Adapters for the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar with Blue Ox Adapters
  • No, this part is for the old style Sterling Tow bars and will not fit the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates, item # RM-525. If you need the ends for your tow bar you will need the RoadMaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter, item # RM-301. If you need the ends to adapt RoadMaster base plates to your Blue Ox adapted tow bar then you will need the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter, item # RM-033 or the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter, item # RM-032.

  • Adapter Needed for a Blue OX Alexxa BX7435 Tow Bar On a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche
  • You can use either of the Roadmaster tow bar adapters to connect your Alexxa BX7435 tow bar to the Roadmaster XL Base Plates # 199-5. If you choose the # RM-033 adapter you will also need the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, item # RM-201, which will allow the tow bar to be easily disconnected. If you choose the # RM-032 adapter you will not need the addition of the quick disconnects and one side of the adapter bar will stay attached to the Blue Ox tow bar when disconnected.

  • Replacement Parts For RoadMaster Brakemaster 9000 Towed Vehicle Brake System
  • I think what you are looking for is the RoadMaster BreakAway kit, part # RM-98160. This kit was originally designed to be used for a second vehicle so all you have to do is move the cylinder and brackets. Since you have the bracket and cylinder, and need everything else, this kit should match your needs pretty well.

  • Wiring Magnetic Tow Lights to a 6-way Round Connector on a RV
  • It sounds to me like your 6-Way connector has been wired for some alternate wiring situation, and that is most likely why the adapter does not work properly with the Magnetic lights. I would use a circuit tester, item #3808 if you need one, and check all of the functions in the 6-Way connector on the RV. Draw a diagram and label each circuit. You will need the stop, turn/brake, tail and ground functions out of the 6-way connector to operate the functions on the 4-way connection of the Magnetic l

  • Adapter to use a Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar with Roadmaster Base Plates on a 2000 Mazda Miata
  • We do have the adapter needed to use the Roadmaster base plates # 711-4 with the Blue Ox Aladdin tow bar, # BX4325. You will need adapter # BX88178. in addition to the base plates and tow bar, you will also need safety cables unless you still have the ones that originally came with the tow bar. If you do need some you can use # RM-643. The Miata will also need a lighting solution. I recommend going with a simple magnetic kit like # C-ATL20A. This will bypass the vehicle wiring so you will

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
  • You can use the TrailerMate Custom Tail Light Wiring Harness, # TM780072, when flat towing your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. After doing some research on your vehicle, I have found that some models cannot be flat towed, especially those with the continuously variable transmission (CVT). These models must be towed using a tow dolly. Before you attempt to flat tow your Equinox, I recommend checking your owners manual for any flat towing restrictions or procedures. If you determine that your Equinox

  • How to Keep Bolts on Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 From Backing Off
  • To keep the u-bolt nuts of the # RM-061 from loosening, make sure you are using both nuts (the primary and the jamb nut) on both sides of the u-bolt. When installing the Quiet Hitch, snug down the first nut on each side then run down the second nut. Using two wrenches working against each other, tighten the outer nut while trying to loosen the inner bolt. This will effectively lock the inner and outer bolt together, preventing them from loosening. The # RM-061 is the only anti-rattle devic

  • Parts Needed for Flat Towing a 2005 Mini Cooper 5 Speed Behind a Sprinter Class C Diesel Motorhome
  • Thanks for all of the information and research on parts for flat towing your 2005 Mini Cooper behind your Siesta Sprinter diesel Class C motor home. You have most of the parts correct, but there are some specific items you will need for your Mini.

  • Replacement Draw Bars for Road Master Base Plates for 2003 Saturn L-Series
  • The Road Master Tow Bar Base Plate Kit, part # 523118-1, fits the 2003 Saturn Ion but is not the correct kit for your L-Series. Your vehicle uses base plate kit # 523114-1. Road Master does offer replacement EZ Lock arms separate from the entire base plate kit. These parts are considered special-order items and are not returnable. They require approximately 2 - 3 weeks lead time for production. The part numbers are C000528 for the driver side and C000529 for the passenger side.

  • Roadmaster Steering Stabilizer for a 2009 Workhorse W16 Chassis

We do have a few other suspension/steering stabilization products that will fit the W16 chassis and I have linked them for you.

  • How to Install the Roadmaster Even Brake 2nd Vehicle Kit # RM-98400
  • To use the Roadmaster Even Brake Braking System, # RM-9400, in your 2011 HHR, you will simply install the braking system using the installation instructions that came with the Even Brake system. The only difference in the installation is that you will use the 2nd Vehicle Kit, # RM-98400, instead of the parts that were included with the Even Brake system. The first step to install this kit is to find a suitable location for the breakaway switch and the ICX transmitter. The breakaway switch it

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Chevy Z-71
  • The first thing you are going to need to flat tow your 1996 Chevy C/K Z-71 is a set of base plates. For that I recommend you get the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1623. This is the correct kit for your truck as long as its not a 1-ton model or a diesel. Next you are going to need a set of tow bars. Since your truck more than likely weighs more than 5,000 lbs you will need a tow bar with additional capacity. I would recommend the Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar # BX4325. This tow bar has 6,500 lbs of cap

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Chevy HHR Behind a Motor Home
  • I looked up an online version of the owners manual for a 2007 Chevy HHR and found that it can be flat towed. It gives the following steps: First set the parking brake. Then turn the ignition key to ACC to unlock the steering wheel. Next shift into neutral. Then release the parking brake. You also have to pull fuse 8 from the floor console fuse block to prevent draining the battery. The manual also states to not exceed 65 miles per hour. Any time you ever have a flat towing question, you should a

  • How to Wire the Roadmaster Single Park Light Diode # RM-690
  • Wiring in the parking light diode # RM-690 is easy. All you have to do is locate the wire leading to the parking light bulb. Cut the wire and insert the diode in-line with the wiring. The IN side will be the part of the wire that leads to the front of the vehicle. The OUT side goes to the bulb. Using these diodes prevents back feeding problems when using a supplemental braking system. I included a picture showing how you would wire the diode.

  • Tongue Weight Capacity of RoadMaster High-Low Drop Adapter # RM-070
  • When you have all 4 wheels of the toad on the ground, the tongue weight is next to nothing. The 100 pound rating does account for sudden but brief increases in tongue weight such as bumps in the road. The idea of using a high-low adapter like # RM-070 is so that the tow bar is level. A level tow bar means the tongue weight will be low.

  • What Baseplate Kit And Cover Will Fit a 2013 Honda CR-V
  • The base plate kit that fits a 2013 Honda CR-V is the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate kit part # 521567-1. The covers that fit Roadmaster EZ Base Plate is part # RM-210. When the base plate arms are removed when not in use, these inserts cap the ends and keep debris and dirt out of the receivers. The Roadmaster base plate kit you referenced was designed for the Jeep Wrangler and would require a different cap than the EZ base plate kit for your CR-V.

  • Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Kia Rondo
  • All of the trailer hitches for the 2008 Kia Rondo are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. We will not have anything that you can use to raise your bike rack. What I recommend is a compatible bike rack that has a rise in the shank if your bike rack does not. Class I trailer hitches can only carry a maximum of 2 bikes. For a compatible rack with a 3 inch rise in the shank you can use the Swagman Trailhead, # S63360. If you are carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that g

  • Pasts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a Falcon 2 Tow Bar
  • What is basically comes down to is how the winch is mounted. A lot of the winches for Jeeps require a different bumper or front guard that gets in the way and/or uses the same mounting locations as the base plates would. If you do not have an aftermarket bumper or guard and the winch is not using any of the same mounting locations as the base plates then it will most likely not be an issue. Be sure to consult the Jeep owners manual for more information on flat towing it. In addition to the ba

  • Using a Sterling Tow Bar to Flat Tow 2 Different Vehicles
  • You will need to have the crossbar for support when using your Sterling tow bar so it cannot be taken out of the equation. However, you can get a second crossbar, # 910021-00, that you have referenced and leave it on the other vehicle when not flat towing it. Then you would just un-pin the arms of the crossbar from the vehicle and pin them to the other vehicle to flat tow it. Since you also have 2 Sterling tow bars you should not need any additional parts unless you are missing the crossbar a

  • Does Battery on 2012 Jeep Wrangler have to be Disconnected to Flat Tow Behind a Motor Home
  • Based on my research the battery does not have to be disconnected to flat tow a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. However, if your owners manual does indicate that it has to be disconnected then you have to follow the owners manual. We can make this process much easier for you. You can install an automatic battery disconnect, # RM-765. What this does is automatically disconnect the vehicle battery when power is coming in from the towing vehicle. You will not have to pull off the negative battery cable on

  • Will Flat Towing a Vehicle In Neutral Hurt the Transmission
  • The best way to determine if a vehicle with an automatic transmission can be flat towed is to consult the owners manual under the towing section to see what restrictions they list for the vehicle. Some vehicles only require that the vehicle be put in neutral whereas some vehicles will require lube pumps or drive shaft disconnects. If you want to email me back with the year and model of your VW I could do some research to see what is recommended for your vehicle to be flat towed. I attached
