When you’re not towing, this base plate nearly disappears. The direct-connect brackets sit tucked behind the grille so nothing clunky hangs off the front. Once the removable drawbars are pulled out, what’s left is smooth and low-profile. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion and keeps the setup looking clean after plenty of miles on the road.
Each arm drops into its bracket, twists to lock, and clicks in place with the built-in pull ring. When it’s time to disconnect, tug the ring, twist back, and pull the arm free—no tools or wrestling required. That twist-lock connection makes it easy to line up your tow bar even if you’re hooking up solo or on uneven ground.
The base plate bolts directly to your vehicle’s frame for a solid link between car and motorhome. Computer-cut, all-steel parts spread the towing load evenly so you can trust the setup trip after trip. Every weld and bracket is built to handle 6,000-pound-class tow bars without flex or fuss.
This kit pairs with motor-home-mounted Roadmaster tow bars like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2. The direct-connect design eliminates the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar entirely, simplifying your hitch point and reducing extra hardware in front of the vehicle.
You don’t need a welder to get this mounted. The base plate installs on existing frame points using standard tools and comes with all necessary hardware and instructions. Once bolted up, it’s a solid fit designed to stay aligned ride after ride so you can spend more time towing and less time adjusting.

Although we sold the Jeep Cherokee, the tow gear and Invisabrake system that we installed worked wonderfully without a flaw up until we sold it. We are purchasing again for our newest TOAD.

Our system is still working perfectly a year later. Our Jeep is a 2018 Cherokee Trailhawk and while we’ve seen some RV forums talk about “death wobble”, we have never experienced this using these Roadmaster products towbar & baseplate. We tow the Jeep with our 39’ Class A gasser and hardly know its back there. Even on sharp corners the Jeep follows perfectly and no binding. Connecting or disconnecting takes maybe 5 – 7 minutes. Then check all of our lights, make sure the Jeep is in neutral wbrakes off and we’re on our way. The braking system that we installed purchased from etrailer is the “Stay-n-Play Duo”. I would recommend that to anyone looking for easy operation. The installation time was a bit lengthy and involved but once completed makes all of your towing trips much easier. Just the flip of a switch and the braking system is ready for towing. No portable unit to lug around and adjust each time you tow your vehicle. The etrailer folks made the perfect recommendations for our needs and everything has worked GREAT!
