If you want a clean, factory look when the tow gear’s off, this base plate nails it. The streamlined design mounts tight to the frame and sits farther back than standard brackets, so with the drawbars removed the setup is virtually invisible. The partially hidden design also helps protect the brackets from scrapes and scuffs behind the grille.
Each removable arm clicks into the bracket and locks with a twist—no tools or loose pins to fumble. When it’s time to disconnect, just pull the built-in ring to release and twist the arm out. It’s a simple, repeatable motion that makes it easy to hook up solo or in tight spots.
This kit bolts directly to the vehicle frame with computer-cut, all-steel brackets that provide exceptional strength. The black powder coat finish holds up against corrosion, keeping the hardware solid and looking sharp after long hauls. Owners depend on this kind of construction for reliable towing over thousands of miles.
The direct-connect design eliminates the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar, making your connection simpler and cleaner. It’s compatible with Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, including the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2 series.
Installation is straightforward—no welding required. The kit comes with detailed instructions and all necessary mounting hardware so you can bolt it right to the frame at home. Once installed, you’ve got a strong, easy-to-use connection point ready for your next trip.

Great
Easy install, works as it should worth every penny.
went on easy, did it myself. towed car to florida and back with no problems. highly recommend this part.
Took a bit to wiggle it for the holes to align. IMO the hardest part (Other than aligning the holes and drilling the extra holes) was removing the plastic 'screw' pins and then replacing them.
I hope this works well once I am rolling.
Online instructions were good. Fit up n icely.
Great service and very fast delivery.My son installed the product on our Haonda with no problems . Looking forward to hitting the road towing our Honda . Thanks
Quality product. Solid construction. Getting the holes lined up was the hardest part of the install. I stripped a bolt which made the install longer because of a trip to the hardware store.
Install on my 2007 Honda CRV. Moderately hard install. Works hreat
I had this professionally installed and I am very happy with the results. I have towed my Honda CRV several times since then and have had no problems.
Love this Base Plate. Works fantastic!
Great product. I installed myself on my 2007 Honda CRV following the videos. It was very straight forward. Really made the summer trip to Yellowstone and Canada amazing having my CRV with us.......
As described. Perfect fit.
The Base Plate Kit for the CR-V was easy to install and was a perfect fit. I am very happy with this purchased and recommend it to others.
Worked almost perfectly. Great installation video made it pretty straightforward. Love this along with my Nighthawk. Thanks etrailer!
Easy instructions to follow and all parts fit perfectly. Been towing behind our Motorhome for 1 year with no problems. The Roadmaster EZ5 is a great towing system. Keep up the good work.
I cannot fault this product with regard to materials and providing a complete installation kit. Everything is included (with the exception of RED LOCTITE which you definitely need), right down to the cable ties. The steel is a very heavy gauge...in fact, this should work as a much better "bumper" than what came off of the CR-V (which is just stamped steel). The nice powder coating should provide a long service life. The only issues I had were: One bolt hole did not line up. This was one of the smallest bolts that screws into existing threads. It wasn't even close enough to try to "fudge." All the others were fine. Second: The plastic fascia trimming instructions are not exactly correct. You will end up trimming a slightly larger area to clear the plate protrusions. And you will also need to trim around one of the small tubes that support the wiring connector plate - no big deal there. These comments relate to my 2009 CR-V.
The boxes came late yesterday afternoon & haven't opened them yet. I'll probably install it next week. My wife uses the CRV almost daily to pick up granddaughters from school. She doesn't like driving my truck, it's too big. I'll look at the video again before I start. A friend has a lift & has offered to help. It'll be nice to have the car at chest level. It was a pleasure working with Vanessa through the ordering process.

It installed easily & we towed the CR-V just over 3K miles with no problems. A lift getting the front end chest high was a real plus.
The tow bar works very well. It is easy hook up and unhook. No prolems with it at all. Would definitely purchase again.
Quick ship, just had it installed today
2ND OR 3RD base plate ordered, fits good and got here quick. Ordered a few trailer hitches as well. so far very happy.
Relatively easy installation. Direction that were provided was all I needed (well, maybe a youtube helped a little also) to successfully complete the installation. Very happy with the the unit.
