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.

Video Transcript for All About the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate kit with the removal arms. This is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2016 and newer Chevrolet Suburban 1500 and Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles. On a custom fit part I always like to recommend for you to go to our web site, use our fit guide. Put in your year and model vehicle and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, these EZ5 brackets provide attachment points for your motorhome-mounted tow bar.

It's a nice streamlined designed which gives you a nice, clean look. There's no obtrusive quick disconnect cross bar needed and these brackets are hidden brackets that will sit even further back than your standard brackets. Basically once you remove your drawbar, just like that, these brackets here will be virtually invisible. Now, the drawbars themselves, as you can see, they attach and remove quickly and easily. Just insert them.

You just push it in all the way. It will push on that pin. You twist it and you can hear that pin lock into place and you're all ready to go.To remove them you just pull on the spring loaded pin, rotate it, slide them right out. It's very simple to do. And again, just insert them, push it all the way in, twist it and they lock into place.

They are computer-cut all-steel construction provides exceptional strength. It has a nice, black powder coat finish on all the parts which is very durable and corrosion resistant. It is a simple installation. There's no welding required. These are custom-based plates so they ensure perfect fit on your vehicle.

It includes everything you need. I've got it all laid out here on the table. All the mounting hardware, brackets, even a nice set of detailed instructions and if you look at them they'll give you pictures, very detailed pictures of how to install everything.Now, this is compatible with the Roadmaster motorhome-mounted towbars only like the Sterling, the BlackHawk, BlackHawk 2, Falcon or Falcon 2 that slide into your hitch. These base plates will not work with two bars that require a hitch ball. These parts are all made in the USA. Again just to show you how to remove it, grab your spring-loaded pin here, just rotate it, slide it right out. Then to install it all you have to do is just slide it in, push it and twist it. Simple as that. But that should do it for the review on the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate kit with removable arms.
