Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-521571-5

  • 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 a 2019 Honda Fit with Manual Transmission be Flat Towed
    I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2019 Honda Fit and it does state on page 406 that manual transmission models can be flat towed behind a motorhome. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this. To flat tow any vehicle you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. For a base plate kit I highly recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 # RM-521571-5 because...

    I believe I have just the parts for you! For your 2019 Honda Fit, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521571-5 for your base plate. This base plate is great because the drawbars are so easy to operate. Simply, insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them into place.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2019 Honda Fit with Manual Transmission
    In order to flat tow your 2019 Honda Fit with all 4 wheels on the ground you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. Starting with the base plates I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521571-5. I like this kit a lot because it doesn't need an obtrusive crossbar to connect with the RV and the hidden brackets allow for a really clean look when you aren't towing. For a compatible tow bar that will work...

  • Recommended Flat Tow Braking System And Flat Towing Setup For A 2018 Honda Fit
    You are correct, surge brakes are most commonly found on RVs and are not likely to be found on passenger cars like your 2018 Honda Fit. With that being said, I recommend checking out the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 with the brake light relay # RM-88400. This braking system will work great with your 2018 Honda Fit, is made in the USA, and has a one time setup so you don't need to re-set it up every time you need to tow. Additionally, if you need a...

  • What is Difference Between Roadmaster Base Plate Kits for 2019 Honda Fit
    Roadmaster makes two different style of base plate kits that fit your 2019 Honda Fit. The crossbar style part # RM-521571-4 and the direct connect style part # RM-521571-5 that does not use a crossbar. It's really a preference thing as they both work really well. The direct connect kit has one less thing to install when connecting since it does not require the crossbar and in general is a bit easier and simpler to use so it's what I prefer. The crossbar style is a style that Roadmaster...

  • Procedures for Flat Towing 2019 Honda Fit
    The Roadmaster Falcon 2 all-terrain tow bar, part # RM-522 can use either base plate kit, the # RM-521571-5 direct connect or the # RM-521571-4 crossbar style base plate kits. You'd just remove the crossbar from the tow bar. Most folks find the direct connect simpler and quicker to use, but as you said, since you have the crossbar there's certainly no reason why you can't use it. It's pretty much a matter of personal preference. Roadmaster does indeed recommend the # RM76512 to bypass...
