Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM24VR

  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Roadmaster
  • 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 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited behind Motorhome
    Hey David Good day to you too! The first thing you need to flat tow your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited is a base plate kit confirmed to fit it like the Roadmaster Direct Connect # RM24VR. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 3HD, # RM27NQ. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    Hey Robert, the only frame mounted base plate kits we have for your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited like the Roadmaster part # RM-521453-5 require either the factory steel or plastic bumper to verify for sure they will work. For aftermarket bumpers you have to use D-ring adapters like the part # RM-035-1 for if the D-rings are 1 inch thick. Since the D-ring adapter base plate kits aren't too expensive I would go with the # RM24VR for right now and if you go to an aftermarket bumper cross that...

  • Recommended Base Plate for 2018 Jeep Wrangler Compatible With Winch
    Danny, it sounds like you're looking for something like the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM24VR which will work with a winch. This base plate kit will not interfere with the winch you have, and Roadmaster even shows a picture of the bumper with a winch in the instructions.

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon With A Steel Bumper And Warn Winch
    Hi Drew, For a factory steel bumper with a warn winch and a Roadmaster Sterling tow bar you'll want to go with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM24VR. The diode kits will work with LED lighting, you'll just need to determine if you do have ParkSense Proximity Sensors or not. If you do you'll want part # RM63MR; if you don't then you'll want part # RM-15267. If you're completely against cutting into your tail light wiring then there's also plug-in wire harnesses like the...

    With your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon Unlimited having the factory steel bumper and Warn winch you are going to need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM24VR. I recommend paring this with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676. You will also want the Roadmaster Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 with this.

  • Will The Roadmaster Base Plate Fit a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon With Warn Winch?
    This will vary depending on which style winch mount you are going to use with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. Specifically if you are looking to install the Mopar style Warn winch on the factory steel bumper you would instead want the Base Plate # RM24VR which uses a different mount. Or if you are also looking to change your bumper for an off-road style with the winch built in and D-Rings that are flat tow compatible you would want to look at the Adapters # RM-035-1...

    The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM24VR is designed to fit the 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon factory winch steel bumper.

The RoadMaster Nighthawk All Terrain Towing Combo Kit # RM-9284-2 will give you the storage bags, locks, and electrical.

  • Will Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Fit with Winch on a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimted
    The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM24VR will install just fine without the winch mount on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. With that being said, sometimes mounting locations are the same between base plate kits and other front-mounted accessories so I definitely recommend referencing the installation video and linked photo to ensure you can install both products on your Jeep prior to purchasing the winch mount.
