Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-521569-5

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • 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.

  • Can 2015 Honda Fit With Manual Transmission be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome
    I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2015 Honda Fit and it states that if the vehicle has a manual transmission it CAN be flat towed; if it has an automatic transmission it cannot be flat towed behind a motorhome. There are a number of parts you're going to need in order to flat tow a '15 Fit with a manual transmission, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521569-5 because the brackets will be hidden away so the Fit can maintain...

  • Availability of Replacement Arms for Roadmaster Base Plate Kit

When the original base plate brackets and arms are manufactured, they are made as one single part. So to be sure that the replacement arms fit perfectly, Roadmaster just needs a bit more information regarding your original base plate brackets. Prior to ordering, you will just click on the Installation Details at the bottom of the product page and fill out the bracket order form....

    Replacement arms are available for the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521569-5 for your 2015 Honda Fit with the part # RM-ARMS. When the original base plate brackets and arms were manufactured, they were made as one part. To be sure that the new arms fit just as perfectly, Roadmaster requires a bit more information on your original base plate brackets than just the part number. To order to new driver's and passenger side base plate arms, you will want to open the Instructions link...

  • Can I Flat Tow a 2015 Honda Fit EX with Manual Transmission Behind A Motorhome
    Yes, you can flat tow your 2015 Honda Fit EX with manual transmission behind a motorhome. There is slight differences between the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521569-4 and EZ5 # RM-521569-5. The main difference is the EZ4 is more universal and will have more fit options. Both will feature Twistlock series brackets that are virtually invisible. Since you will be flat towing your 2015 Honda Fit EX manual transmission, you will need the following items: a tow bar, safety cables, wiring and a supplemental...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Honda Fit with Manual Transmission
    I checked the owner's manual for your 2017 Honda Fit with manual transmission and found that it can in fact be flat towed. The manual does list the steps required before flat towing which I will describe, however I recommend also checking your manual to confirm this process. The owner's manual lists these steps to take before flat towing: Shift to Neutral, Release the parking brake, turn the ignition switch to ACCESSORY - make sure the steering wheel does not lock. Then turn off all electrical...

  • Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard
    The # RM521440-5 Base Plate Kit is not recommended for the 2021 JGC Trailhawk model. You can use the Demco # DM9519291 kit or the Blue Ox # BX1128 to fit a Trailhawk, however these are not designed to work with the tow bar mounted rock guard. A good alternative would be the Rock Tamers # ERT00108 Adjustable Flap System. This fits over the 2" receiver that your tow bars connect to in the gap between the ball mount and the reciever.

  • Replacement Arms for Roadmaster Base Plates
    We do have replacement arms available for Roadmaster base plate kits like # RM-523193-5 which fits the 2019 Chevy Equinox. The part is # RM-ARMS.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Honda Fit Behind a Motor Home
    Basically, the difference between EZ4 base plates # RM-521569-4 and EZ5 base plates # RM-521569-5 for the 2015 Honda Fit is the design of the draw bar arms. The EZ4 base plate arms have a wide flat front to attach to the Roadmaster tow bar crossbar. The EZ5 base plate arms have 2-prong ends that attach directly to the tow bar without the use of the crossbar. Both sets will work with the Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 but the EZ5 would be easier to use. The base plates include short safety...
