Review of the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar with Quick Disconnect


Today we are going to show you part number RM-520 from Roadmaster. What we have here is the Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar. A couple of quick facts about this tow bar is that it has a 6000 pound capacity and the tow bar itself only weighs 34 pounds. It also comes complete with the quick disconnect bar also. This kit does come complete with the base bar and with the quick disconnect system and the tow bar itself. Plus it has a self storage feature and the end that goes into the hitch. What we will do now is install it in a typical class 3 receiver hitch. To put it on the back of an RV.

Now this is a tow bar in a typical application. What we will do here is show you how the quick disconnect works from the base bar here. Then we will fold it up and show you how it stores it all by itself. Then show it in a storage position. First off to release it from the base bar you will need to remove the snap ring and pull out the pins on both sides of the bar. And your base bar is released from your tow bar. Mind you this tow bar will be connected to the base plates on your vehicle. Also the base bar comes with the complete hardware to come with the base plates that are already mounted together on your vehicle. Also in case you have a lot of tension like perhaps since your car or RV is out of angle and you can not unbolt the base plates itself. What you can do is it comes with this tool and it goes around here and pushes pushes the button to help release tension. What you can do is store them by pushing the button down and then you are able to push the bar in and fold it together. Then you push it up and it catches right here and that holds everything in place.

You can leave it just like it is or you can pull it to one side or the other just as easy. Keeping it stored at our of the way when not using it. While it stays in the hitch of your RV. Then when you are ready to hitch it back up to your car it is pretty much reverse order. You pull on this little tab down here and it swings down. Now go ahead and extend your bars out to meet your base bar. You do not have to pull them out equal. The car does not even have to be perfectly aligned with it. It can be a little bit off center and will make up for it due to the adjust ability of this tow bar. You can move this in and out and the tow bar can move in and out as needed to hook up with your base bar. So we will hook it up with the the intention of it being crooked. Then we will show you just how it works. As you can see the bars are uneven. Then when you get ready to leave you can take off in a straight line and then do a couple left or right hand turns. Then the tow bar will pull out and latch down as needed. There you have it for part number RM-520 from Roadmaster. The Falcon 2 tow bar rated for 6000 pounds.
