Michael: Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a quick look at the Roadmaster adapter kit for Blue Ox motor home-mounted tow bars. Essentially, this is going to allow you to use your Blue Ox tow bar that you already have with a Roadmaster baseplate. Both Roadmaster and Blue Ox have a proprietary system for how they connect the baseplate to the tow bar. Got a diagram, a little picture show for you here. You can see the Blue Ox has kind of like an E shape, the three-prong system.
That's on the tow bar. Your baseplate has two prongs, so they fit together like that, whereas your Roadmaster here has more of a C style. That's on the baseplate. Tow bar would have more of a bracket like you have here. That would line up that way.
They don't really coordinate very well together. You can't take the Blue Ox and go straight to the Roadmaster. That's what this kit is for.You can see on the Blue Ox that little screw there. You're going to pull that screw out, undo that nut, and then you can remove that whole E clamp there. Then you can install this one that comes from Roadmaster.
That's going to then allow you to use that tow bar with your Roadmaster baseplate.These parts are made here in the USA, so you can trust they're going to be a good solid quality. They are made directly by Roadmaster, so you don't have to worry about compatibility with your baseplate. They're not going to be slightly off or anything. They are exactly what Roadmaster makes for their base plates, so you're good there. All the components that you need, the pin and clip, everything is included.
They're also going to have some washers there to make sure that your connections are able to move, pivot. Everything's working there. This does come with a limited lifetime warranty from Roadmaster. They stand behind their product. You can trust it's going to do a good job for you.Ultimately, it's kind of a rare scenario to have two different brands, but if you find yourself in that place, maybe you got a different vehicle, it's got the Roadmaster baseplate on it already, you already have your Blue Ox tow bar, rather than having to buy either a whole new tow bar or do a whole new baseplate setup which is pretty intensive, you don't really want to do that, this is a very simple option. Just take off the original brackets from your tow bar, mount these on, and you're ready to go. It's really a great way to solve that problem. That's going to complete our look at the Roadmaster adapter kit for Blue Ox mounted tow bars.

This kit adapts Blue Ox motorhome-mounted tow bars to Roadmaster direct-connect-style baseplates or to a crossbar.This item was delivered in a very timely manner. We bought a motorhome that had a Blue Ox tow bar attached. Previously, we had used and still own a Roadmaster tow bar which connected to our Jeep Cherokee. The Blue Ox tow bar was newer and had a larger tow rating, but it was not compatible with our Jeep's baseplate. This product will allow us to use the Blue Ox tow bar now. Did not know that adapter kits were even available like this. Very sturdy product. Looks like it will work well for us.
Just installed it on my Blue Ox tow bar. Fixes very well and saved me allot of money not having to purchase a Roadmaster tow bar to connect to truck with Roadmaster base plate. Changed numerous delivery companies but finally got it via US mail 10 days after initial order.
Ordering was easy, I first called to verify a few dimensions to make sure this would fir my specific Blue Ox towbar. The lady was very helpful, order was placed, 2 days later I had the parts. Installed them yesterday in about 15 minutes. Use LocTite to make sure of no future problems. Will buy from etrailer in the future!
I contacted roadmaster requesting the exact part I needed for my towing needs. They responded in a timely matter with the part and I ordered soon after. Quite diligent in getting back to me and offering any other assistance.
Great product! Works as expected.
