Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 3115-3

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Hitch Pin Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, direct-connect brackets install onto your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for a motor-home-mounted tow bar. Front arms are easily removable when not in use.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • No crossbar needed - faster hookup and sleeker appearance
    • Crossbar not required because these direct-connect base plates are designed for strong, heavy-duty applications
  • Compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars that slide into trailer hitch receivers
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Note: Direct-connect base plates will work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.


Direct-connect brackets do not require a crossbar because of the heavy-duty nature of your vehicle's frame. Thus, installation is simplified, the hookup process is faster, and the total appearance is enhanced.


Note: The EZ Hook safety cables included with Roadmaster's Sterling tow bars will not work with direct-connect base plates. These cables connect to an anchor plate on the Quick Disconnect crossbar, which will not be present when you are using these base plates.


The drawbars, or front arms, on the direct-connect base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with pins. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

  • Availability of Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for 2009 Suburban 2500
    Hi Eddie; are you specifically looking for Blue Ox? The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1678 is the correct base plate for your 2009 Suburban 2500. It looks like that tow bar comes with safety cables so you will also need wiring and a supplemental brake system. I recommend the following: -Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267 -Curt RVi Series Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System # RVI94FR (includes charge line) You may also need a high-low adapter...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD
    The first thing you'll need to flat tow your 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 Classic is a base plate kit. For that you'd want the Roadmaster kit part # 3115-3 which is a confirmed fit. This provides the connection point from the tow bar to the vehicle frame. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding...

  • Recommended System to Flat Tow (Dinghy Tow) a 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 with Automatic Transmission
    If your 2005 Chevy 1500 is 2WD then it can only be dinghy towed using a lube pump which is fairly expensive and when you add labor, makes it not so great an option. However, if you have the 4WD, then it can be towed and we do have all the parts you need to do so. If you have the 2005 Silverado 1500 with 4WD then I recommend the following for your complete system: For 1500 HD, the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 3115-3 or 1500 LD # 199-11.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2003 GMC Sierra with a Roadmaster Falcon 5250 Tow Bar
    The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the truck owners manual for specific information on flat towing it. There are different configurations of the 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 and would require different base plates. If you have a Z71 model and the front suspension uses a torsion bar use # 199-6 or # 199-5. If you have an HD model (torsion or coil springs) use # 3115-1 or # 3115-3. If you do not have a Z71 or HD and have coil springs in the front use # 199-10 or # 199-11. Any...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2010 Chevy Suburban 1500 4x4 Behind a Motor Home
    In order to flat tow a vehicle behind your motor home there are 5 things you will need. Base plates for each vehicle being towed, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting on the vehicles being towed, and a supplemental braking system in the vehicle being towed. To find the correct base plates, I need the year of the Dodge Ram 3500. For the 2010 Chevy Suburban, use Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 3154-1. For a compatible tow bar, I recommend the RoadMaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain Tow...

  • Flat Towing Setup to Move 2005 Chevy Silverado 2 Miles to Different Jobsite
    We have flat towing setups that could work for what you are looking for. What you'd need is a base plate kit installed on the front of your 2005 Chevy 2500/3500 like the Roadmaster part # 3115-3 and you'd be able to connect a tow bar to it with the Falcon part # RM-422. Basically you'd just need lighting like the part # TL21RK so that your towed vehicle has the needed turn signals/stop lights and you'd be set for short trips like you mentioned.

  • Base Plate Fit For Flat Towing 2011 Chevy Suburban 2500
    We do have base plates that are a fit for your 2011 Chevy Suburban 2500, though the part you mentioned is only a fit for the 1500 model. I'll list out the fits for you of all the parts you will need in order to flat tow your '11 Suburban 2500: - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 3115-3 - Tow Bar: Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422 - Safety Chains: Roadmaster Safety Cables # RM-646 - Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode...

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plate 3154-3 Fit a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500
    Unfortunately the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit # 3154-3 is not compatible with a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado. I am not sure what, if any, modification can be done to make it fit but I advise against doing so as Roadmaster wouldn't have had a chance to test it for safety. The correct MX base plate kit for your 2006 Silverado 1500 will be one of the following (depending on your sub-model): 1500 LD - Z71 - # 199-6 (Front suspension must use torsion bar) 1500 LD - excluding Z71 - # 199-11 (Front...

  • Tow Bar Wiring for 2006 Chevy Suburban Z71
    We do have harnesses that will work for your 2006 Chevy Suburban but my guess is the Z71 doesn't have the needed connector to install the Hopkins harness you were referring to. I can see why you would want to use that one as it does not involve splicing, but each of the harnesses that fit a 2006 Suburban Z71 are going to require splicing to install, and for that I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. Other parts you'll need to flat tow your...

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2004 Chevy Silverado
    We have a base plate kit that fits your 2004 Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD, for that you'd want the Roadmaster MX Base Plate kit aprt # 3115-3 which is a confirmed fit and will work great with your Falcon Tow Bar part # RM-520. You'll need to check your owners manual to see if there are any restrictions on flat towing the vehicle. For a universal style base plate kit we have the part # BX88230 but it would require an adapter like part # RM-031 to allow it to be towed by a Roadmaster tow bar.
