Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-52357-5

  • 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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Nissan Versa Note
    The Roadmaster direct connect base plate kit part # RM-52357-5 is the correct fit for your 2014 Nissan Versa Note and would work great with the Roadmaster Sterling part # RM-576. The Demco SBS DUO # SM99251 is a great option for braking too as it's the easiest to install in the permanent install style of system. I attached an install video for this on a similar Versa Note for you to check out as well. Then for a lighting kit the part # RM-9284-2 comes with a diode kit as well as locks...

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for Flat Towing 2017 Nissan Versa with Stowmaster Tow Bar
    The EZ5 base plates cannot be used with a Stowmaster tow bar. The EZ4 kits like the part # RM-52357-4A can be used with your Stowmaster so it would be the kit to use on your 2017 Nissan Versa. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control...

  • Recommended Flat Towing System for 2014 Nissan Versa Note
    If you have an automatic transmission in your 2014 Nissan Versa Note, then you cannot flat tow it. You would need to use a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. If you have the manual transmission, then the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-52357-5 are a great start. I recommend using the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520 to connect your base plates to your motorhome. You will...

  • Which Base Plate Kit Fits 2017 Nissan Versa
    The Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-52357-5 that you referenced is the correct base plate kit for your 2017 Nissan Versa and will fit with the Roadmaster Stowmaster # RM-501.

  • Will Blue Ox Tow Bars work with Roadmaster Baseplates for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note Canadian Version
    The Roadmaster base plates # RM-52357-4A and # RM-52357-5 are currently the only base plates that will fit your 2015 Nissan Versa Note Canadian version. The U.S. and Canadian versions are made the same. The # RM-52357-5 will sit further back than the # RM-52357-4A, but it is not compatible with a tow bar adapter. If you plan on using a Blue Ox tow bar like the Avail # BX7420, then you will need a Roadmaster base plate to Blue Ox adapter # RM-032 along with the Roadmaster base plates #...
