Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-522205-5

  • 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 Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for 2020 Ram Rebel 1500 be Towed with Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
    The Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2414 that you mentioned can be used with the Roadmaster Sterling tow bar # RM-576 but you do need to use the correct adapter since the two can't be connected directly. So all you'd need for an adapter is the part # RM-031-5 and you'd be set.

  • Where To Mount Breakaway Switch And Tow Bar Wiring Kits On A 2019 Dodge Ram Rebel
    The brackets on your Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-522205-5 are for connecting safety cables in the event of a disconnect/breakaway so you won't want to use those spots for the wiring. The best place to mount your emergency disconnect and 4-pole connector is in the grille above the skid plate. You can run the cables through and zip-tie them in place onto the grille. For the 4-pole I recommend using the 4-Flat Mounting Bracket Item # 18144 then add a short bracket # 18140...

  • Connecting A Roadmaster Base Plate To A Blue Ox Tow Bar
    I can help you out, use the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter # RM-033. You can use this adapter with a roadmaster base plate. This will let you connect to a blue ox tow bar. It is not compatible with RoadMaster EZ5, MX, or MS series brackets. That said you would need to use it with a base plate like the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-522203-4.

  • Flat Towing Equipment Recommendations For A 2019 Dodge Ram 4x4 Rebel Edition

You'll need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, base plate, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you listed below: Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate - 2" RV Mount - 10.5K Item # e84ZR.

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Needed for 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel
    We do have the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-522205-5 which is a fit for your 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel as long as it doesn't have the EcoDiesel feature. The Direct-Connect fit used to be known as the EZ5 so you just need to make sure that your tow bar is compatible with that type of connection. Most of the Roadmaster tow bars are but there are a few (the lower-quality ones) that won't fit. I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out. For a complete flat...

  • Are There Demco Base Plates for a 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel
    I do have some great base plate options for a 2020 Ram 1500 but Demco does not offer an option for Rebel models. Instead, I recommend using the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-522205-5 which will work well with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676. If you already have a Demco tow bar just get the Demco Tow Bar Adapter part # DM9523032. I have attached some other parts below as well but there isn't a kit. Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental...
