When you’re not towing, this base plate keeps the front of your vehicle looking clean. The hidden brackets sit farther back than standard designs so they’re virtually invisible once the arms are removed. There’s no bulky quick-disconnect crossbar to clutter the front end, leaving a simple, factory-finish look that stays protected from scrapes and scuffs behind the grille.
Connecting your tow bar takes just a few seconds. Each drawbar slides into the bracket, twists to lock, and clicks securely in place. When you’re done towing, pull the built-in ring to release the lock, give it a twist, and slide the arm out again. The direct-connect setup means fewer parts to handle and fewer steps before you’re ready to roll.
This kit bolts directly to your vehicle’s frame—no welding required—and uses computer-cut, all-steel construction for exceptional strength and alignment. The black powder coat finish is tough and corrosion resistant, so it can handle years of towing and weather exposure without rusting or loosening up.
Designed specifically for motor-home-mounted Roadmaster tow bars like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2, this base plate eliminates the need for a separate quick-disconnect crossbar. That means less hardware between your RV and dinghy and a more solid feel mile after mile on long trips.
You don’t need special tools or welding gear to get this kit in place. It mounts directly to existing frame points using the included hardware and detailed instructions. The custom design ensures everything lines up right where it should, making installation straightforward for anyone comfortable turning a wrench on a weekend project.
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.

I’ve pulled the Chevy behind our motor home several times over a the last year. It has worked excellent. And when not in tow the tubing is barely noticeable.

Wow great job Crystal! It looks great! Also, I couldn’t help but notice “Ski Express” on the car, that’s pretty cool. What kind of work do you do?

Which trim is your 2026 Chevy Trax? Per Roadmaster, the # RM25EQ (523228-5) fits all trims of the 2026 Trax except the ACTIV trim....

It’s been a great year. No problems with the base plate. Works great with my tow bar. Towed my trailblazer from Texas to North Dakota and back, and several short trips.
