Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-521448-5

  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Roadmaster
  • Twist Lock Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

Designed for use with motor-home-mounted tow bars, the direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and remove, and they eliminate the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar. Installs on your vehicle's frame.


Features:

  • Direct-connect brackets provide attachment points for your motor-home-mounted tow bar
  • Streamlined design creates supremely clean look
    • No obtrusive quick-disconnect crossbar
    • Hidden brackets sit even farther back than standard brackets
  • Drawbars attach and remove quickly and easily
    • Arms click to lock in place in brackets
    • Built-in pull rings let you unlock arms so you can twist and remove them
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Compatible with Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars only
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited lifetime warranty


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


The drawbars, or front arms, on this 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 each arm, simply tug the built-in pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the arm back and pull it out of the bracket. 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.

  • Differences Between The Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain And Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bars
    The difference between the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 and the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 is somewhat substantial. The first difference being the increased weight capacity with the the Falcon at 6,000lbs and the Nighthawk at 8,000lbs. The Nighthawk will allow you to flat tow your larger SUV or truck while the Falcon is more meant for your sedans and mid-sized SUV's.

    I have a great option for you, but when choosing the best base plate kit for your 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport there are some other factors that play a role, like what type of bumper you have.

  • Recommended Components Needed To Flat-Tow 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Behind Motorhome
    You can quickly tell the difference between the All Terrain and the Standard StowMaster tow bar. If you have square bars and it has push buttons, you have the standard StowMaster. If your tow bar has round bars it is the all-terrain. There will be no difference in the performance of the tow bars. The all-terrain is easier to put on and remove. If you need the balance of the items needed for flat-towing your Rubicon I can make some recommendations that will work for you. You need a total...

  • Can Cheaper Base Plate Kit be Paired with Roadmaster Tow Bar for a 2016 Jeep Wrangler
    Hey Keith, thanks for reaching out! The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 is going to be your best bet, and it about in the middle of the range of pricing for kits that fit your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sport. Anything that costs less will need an adapter to fit with your Roadmaster tow bar, which will then bump up the price to be the same (or more) than this base plate kit. Flat tow setups can get a bit pricey, which is really the only downside to bringing your own vehicle...

    This could be a JK or a JL so you will need to determine which model this 2018 Wrangler is for the right base plate kit. Both can be flat towed.

  • Properly Torquing Handle Nut on Base Plate When Handle Breaks Off
    Sorry to hear you're having difficulty installing the # RM-521448-5 base plate, this is an unheard of occurrence. Roadmaster recommends using an impact wrench, which will spin the bolt fast enough that it will tighten to where you can properly torque it.

  • Is Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit Compatible With Roadmaster Stowmaster
    Hi Dale; the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521448-5 only works with motor-home-mounted tow bars so it is not compatible with the StowMaster. If you want to use the StowMaster you need to swap out your base plate kit and use the # RM-521448-4. The other option is to sell the StowMaster and get a new tow bar like the # RM-520
