No matter how strong or good looking a tow bar is, it's all for naught if it doesn't work right. With the BlackHawk, hooking up and disconnecting has never been easier. As you drive the motor home away, the arms will self-extend, center and automatically lock. Towing can't get much simpler than this.
Non-Binding Tow Bar
Release your towed vehicle with the flip of a switch in any terrain. Roadmaster's Freedom Latch disconnects the first time, every time, releasing your car even when it is at a hard angle or out of level with the tow bar. No more binding!
Quick Disconnects
Standard on most RoadMaster models, quick disconnects make it a snap to attach your tow bar. Their unique design lets you connect the tow bar to the bracket quickly and easily all by yourself and disconnect it the same way. These convenient brackets also make it simple to mount any number of RoadMaster accessories, from basic safety cables to the Guardian rock shield.
Built-In Cable Guide
Because safety cables and wires all too often tangle and drag, and wrapping them around your tow bar before every use is just no fun, RoadMaster has introduced built-in routing channels for their all-terrain models. Now you can tow with confidence, knowing that your cords and cables are safe and protected.
Storage Latch
A feature unique to Roadmaster's All Terrain models, the patented Storage Latch makes it easy to stow your tow bar quickly and securely. Just fold the Blackhawk toward your motor home and it automatically locks in place.

- Troubleshooting Excessive Tire Wear on a 2007 Ford Focus when Being Towed by a Motorhome
- There are several possible causes for the severe tire wear you are seeing on your Ford Focus. First, if the tow bar is not level with the RVs it can put extra stress (downward force in this case) on the front of the Focus. That extra force can lead to not only tire wear but also potentially damage the tow bar and base plates.
Make sure that you have the steering on the Focus unlocked so that it is free to turn when being towed. If the steering is locked, it will cause severe tire wear and dam

For the 1989 Chevy Astro Van, the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms, item # 101-1, is the correct fit. You will need to add a transm

- Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Ford F-150 4x4 Behind an Dump Truck
- Since your 2007 Ford F-150 4x4 has a manual transfer case and not the electronic shift on the fly feature, you can flat tow the truck. But, you will want to confirm this by consulting the vehicle owners manual for the proper towing procedure.
You will first want to install base plates on the truck. I recommend using XL style base plates # 495-1A because there are a lot of compatible tow bar options for the XL style plates. For a tow bar, you you will be using a pintle hitch and want a tow bar
