When your setup needs to handle the load of long trips behind a motorhome, this base plate kit is ready. The computer-cut, all-steel construction delivers exceptional strength and spreads towing forces evenly across the frame. A black powder coat finish adds corrosion resistance that stands up to road grime and weather. It’s a solid foundation for years of dependable towing.
If you prefer a factory-clean front end when not towing, this design keeps the look intact. The drawbars secure with two pins and remove in seconds, leaving only small brackets tucked within the grille. Once the arms are off, the remaining hardware is barely visible and less likely to catch on anything when you’re walking around or parking tight.
Getting set up shouldn’t take extra steps. These direct-connect base plates eliminate the need for a crossbar thanks to their heavy-duty design, making hookup faster and simpler. The arms slide in easily and pin in place for a solid connection, cutting down on prep time whether you’re breaking camp or heading out again.
Road wear takes its toll over time, but the durable black powder coat helps keep rust at bay. It resists chips from debris and moisture buildup so the brackets stay looking clean and strong season after season. That means less maintenance and more confidence every time you tow.
If you already have a Roadmaster tow bar that slides into a trailer hitch receiver—like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2—you’re set. This kit pairs right up without adapters or ball mounts, streamlining your setup while keeping your existing gear in play.

Outstanding
it will do the job!
Easy install.
Great people to deal with. Products and delivery were outstanding. Would definitely order with them again
The input shafts were too long along with the pine holes not lining up properly.
Very easy and straight forward mounting.
Etrailer gets a huge thumbs up for the speed and accuracy of this order. Ways to go etrailer! Great job.
Base Plates arrived earlier than expected. Very pleased with the website and fulfillment response.
Base plates met my expectations. Would purchase again if needed.
After buying a used class A motor home w/an Falcon II tow bar, this fit the bill for my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. It arrived quickly to my address and of good quality.
Fairly easy to install, instructions were accurate. Looks great with removable arms on or off jeep. Have gotten quite a bit of questions about where we bought them or how installed them.
Easy install, instructions were clear
Perfect fit.
Perfect product, easy to install and worked perfectly with towing our jeep behind our motorhome, thanks.

yes they are great however I sold my jeep and now will have to put another set on the 2012 ford f150 I bought. I will also need an install kit for the invisbrake system but need to see exactly what I saved from the jeep kit that can be transferred to the truck. You guys are still the best internet company around and I will be ordering from you when I figure it out. Hope all is well with you and everybody at etrailer
I ordered these for a customers Jeep . They fit with a little bit of tweaking, not sure if it was the brackets or the Jeep. I do a bit of street rod work so I'm used to making stuff fit. ETrailer is a great place to buy from however and they are the best when it comes to customer support!
I installed the Roadmaster base plate kit myself on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. I have never installed one and I have basic mechanical skills. I have basic tools, but I did have to purchase a set of crow foot wrenches to reach one nut. It took some time for me to install it, but the instructions were easy to follow step by step. The kit appears to be built very strong. May be priced high for what it is, but what isn't anymore.
As far as etrailer goes, customer service was great. Quinn was informative and seemed to know the product. He followed up with me after the sale. I found a lower price after I ordered and the folks at etrailer gave me a credit on my credit card almost immediately when they verified the lower price. I can highly recommend them and I will always consider them in the future.
