Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-522204-5

  • 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.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Equipment for 2019 Ram 3500
    If your 2019 Ram 3500 is a 4WD model, it can be flat towed without modification. RWD vehicles will require a driveshaft disconnect. As far as flat towing equipment goes, you'll need a tow bar, base plates, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the height difference between the base plates and the receiver on the motorhome is greater than 3 inches.

  • Tow Bar and Flat Tow Parts Needed for Heavy 2020 Ram 3500
    We can definitely get you a flat tow set up for your 2020 Ram 3500. These trucks are heavy, but the GVWR you are referring to is the gross weight, which is the max weight it can be when loaded with passengers and cargo. According to my research, a 2020 Ram 3500 has a curb weight (unloaded) of up to just over 7,500 lbs max. So even if you have some cargo in the truck, it is difficult to imagine you will be exceeding the 10,500 lb tow bar option you can use with a 2 inch hitch on your motorhome,...
