Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM32FR

  • 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.

  • Flat Towing Setup Recommendation For A 2022 Buick Encore GX
    For your 2022 Buick Encore GX, you're going to need a high low adapter, a base plate, a tow bar, wiring a braking system, and safety cables. Let's start with a base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM32FR. This base plate creates a clean design when not in use and allow for quick connection and disconnection. Next, you'll need a tow bar. For this, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520. This tow bar is capable of handling up to 6,000lbs, which is...

  • Why Does The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect RM-766 Attach To The Positive Battery Post
    Hey Brad, that is a good question. The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 attaches to the positive battery post because that is what the polarity of the solenoid is designed for. This also allows for a positive current source for accessories such as a breakaway switch or stop light switch. If you were to disconnect the battery without using a Roadmaster Battery Disconnect, you would just pull the negative cable off like it says in your manual. With the # RM-766 though it will connect...

  • Why Does The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect USe The Positive Terminal Post Cable
    Roadmaster released a tech bulletin about why the positive needs to be removed instead of following the vehicle's owner's manual and disconnecting the negative post cable. The reason is because if you use the disconnect on the negative side you'll lose your towed vehicle's main ground to the chassis. This means that all of the accessories that need to operate on the toad must be grounded through the connection to the motorhome which is too small of a gauge and the distance is too great...

  • Flat Towing Equipment Recommendations For A 2021 Buick Encore GX
    There currently isn't any info available for flat towing equipment for the 2022 Buick Encore GX. It will probably be some time before manufacturers are able to get one in to fabricate the correct equipment. I do however have flat towing information available for the 2021 Buick Encore GX: Looking at the online manual for the 2021 Buick Encore GX it states that the AWD models are capable of being flat towed (all four wheels on the ground) but are not capable of being dolly towed (two...

  • Does Battery of 2022 Buick Encore GX Need to Be Disconnected in Order To Flat Tow It
    If your 2022 Buick Encore GX is a FWD vehicle, it cannot be flat towed and you would need to use a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1. If your Encore is an AWD model that's not a Sport Touring model, it can be flat towed as long as you don't exceed 70 mph. Per the owner's manual, the negative battery terminal does indeed need to be disconnected in order to tow the vehicle. This prevents the battery from being drained. The Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect system, part # RM-766 would...

  • Why Is A Stop Light Switch Kit Needed For A 2020 Buick Encore GX
    The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM62FR is needed because the brake light switch wire of the 2020 Buick Encore GX isn't useable and this simulates the braking signal so that it can be sent out to the braking system. This allows you to see when the brakes are being applied while flat towing, which is important because you can easily verify if the brakes are activating when they shouldn't be or not activating when they need to so that you can pull over and troubleshoot the issue.

  • Does Battery of 2020 Buick Encore GX Need to be Disconnected to Flat Tow it
    When flat towing any vehicle we have to recommend you stick with what the vehicle manufacturer outlines as the flat towing procedure in the owners manual. In most cases the reason is because the steering wheel has to be unlocked and the only position the steering wheel is unlocked for some vehicles is with the key on which is why then the battery has to be disconnected so it doesn't drain quickly. You'd have to check with Buick to get that totally verified but if you left the key on for...

  • Why Are There no Base Plate Kit fits for 2021 Buick Encore GX with Sport Touring Package
    The lower grille of the ST package is shaped differently and that's where the base plate kits come through so that's why there's an issue. So for the time being you could tow it with a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 and you'd be good since the front grille doesn't affect the fit on a dolly.

  • Does Roadmaster Base Plate for 2022 Buick Encore GX Affect Front Collision Sensors
    The Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM32FR that fits your 2022 Buick Encore GX will not affect the front collision warning sensors or braking. 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 All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers...
