The drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets offer a streamlined look. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Fiat 500
    To flat tow your 2013 Fiat 500 you need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Please note that the online manual for your Fiat 500 states that you can only flat tow your vehicle if it has a manual transmission. I recommend checking this and any additional instructions in your copy of the owner's manual. The safety cables that I recommend using with the EZ2 Base Plate kit # 522013-1A and Falcon 2...

  • Recommendations for Towing a 2017 Fiat 500 Behind a Motorhome
    If you have the automatic transmission, then your 2017 Fiat 500 FWD must be towed using a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1. This is due to the transmission design style to prevent damage. If you have the manual 5 speed, you can tow it as it with a speed restriction of 65 mph. If you have the manual 5 speed transmission, I recommend the following: *Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 522013-1A *Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 *Safety...

  • Will Roadmaster Quick Disconnect 910021-00 Fit Base Plate of 2013 Fiat 500
    Yes, if you had a Roadmaster base plate kit installed on your 2013 Fiat 500 like the part # 522013-1A the replacement crossbar part # 910021-00 would work with it. But you'd also need a tow bar that this crossbar would have originally came with like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520. Do you have a tow bar already? If so, which one do you have?

  • How to Flat-Tow a 2015 Fiat 500
    In order to flat-tow a 2015 Fiat 500 with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome you are going to need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tail light wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. There may also be a few other smaller components that are needed depending on the options the vehicle is equipped with. For a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-676. The Nighthawk is one of the best tow bars...

  • Does a 2017 Fiat 500 Pop Require a Charge Line to Flat Tow
    Hey Jeff, I did some research and it does not look like your 2017 Fiat 500 requires a charge line. The only wiring that is required is a 12v outlet kit # RM-9332 for a supplemental braking system, a universal wiring kit # RM-152, and a stop light switch kit # RM-751455. If you're interested in completing the setup, you'll also need a base plate # 522013-1A with the adapter # 910021-00, a tow bar # RM-522, and a braking system # RM-8700. If you need anything else, feel free to leave a...

  • Will Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Tow Bars Fit Crossbar Base Plate on 2013 Fiat 500
    Hello Bobby, I'm a bit confused on the specifics as you didn't list any part numbers or a year or model for the Jeep, so I can only assume you are referring to the Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Tow Bars # 910021-00 and Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 522013-1A for a 2013 Fiat 500. If so, then yes, the Crossbar Assembly will work with that base plate. If that's not what you were referencing, feel free to let me know with as much specificity as possible so I can take a look.

  • Who Can Install a Complete Flat Towing System?
    To have your Roadmaster baseplates, tow bar and other components installed, I recommend steering clear of a car dealership and rather going to an RV dealer or any mechanic you trust. The installation instructions are easy enough for anyone who is mechanically inclined to follow and you can always direct them to videos on our site if they need assistance. Because we don't have places all over the country we refer the installations to, we simply suggest going to someone you trust will...

  • What is the Best Way to Tow a 2012 Fiat 500 Behind a Motorhome
    According to the owner's manual for a 2012 Fiat 500 with a manual transmission (excluding 500c and 500 Abarth), the vehicle can be flat towed with all four wheels down and dolly towed with either the front two or rear two wheels off of the ground. In regards to which is better between flat-tow and dolly tow, they both have their benefits. If you have a leased vehicle or don't want to make any modifications as you plan to exchange it, dolly tow would be your best option but if you plan to...

To flat tow a vehicle, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring solution so the vehicle taillights work along with those of the tow vehicle, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/lo adapter.
