Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM28GR

  • 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.

  • Why Do Some Vehicles Need Battery Disconnected When Flat Towed
    Hey Joseph, thank you for the kind words and the feedback on your base plate kit install. Battery disconnects are typically needed because the key of the truck needs to be in on position so that the steering wheel will be unlocked and the battery won't get drained since that normally turns on radio and dash lights etc.

    Hey Teresa, thanks for reaching out! The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM28GR is what you'll want to use for your Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 and your 2023 Chevy Colorado. All of the other options will require an adapter so this is your best option.

  • Which Baseplate Kit For 2024 Chevy Colorado Works On ZR2 Model?
    Hey Chris, For your 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2 you'll need to go with the Demco Baseplate Kit # DM27YV. As of right now (June 2024) Roadmaster does not make a base plate kit compatible with the ZR2 model of your truck. You'll still be able to use your Roadmaster tow bar by also picking up one of the below adapters depending on the model of your tow bar: If you have a Roadmaster Tracker, Falcon 2, Falcon All-Terrain, Blackhawk, Blackhawk All-Terrain, and Sterling tow bars with serial numbers...

  • Do You Have Baseplates for a 2025 GMC Canyon or 2025 Chevy Colorado?
    We sure do Kenny! Just stay away from the ATX model if you end up going with the 2025 GMC Canyon. There's no baseplates that will fit with that front end. The same with the ZR2 Bison on the 2025 Colorado. For a 2025 GMC Canyon we have the Roadmaster item # RM48GR and the Blue Ox item # BLU85CR. For a 2025 Colorado we have the Roadmaster item # RM28GR and the Blue Ox item # BLU85CR. Let me know if you end up pulling the trigger on one of these trucks and I'll recommend a full flat tow...
