Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM37VR

  • 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 included
    • Uses your vehicle's existing hardware for installation
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • Bar-mounted height: 14-3/4"
  • 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 Recommendations for a 2021 Chevy Colorado 4WD
    The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM37VR will reuse the manufacturer hardware on your 2021 Chevrolet Colorado 4WD with neutral Transfer case. It does not require you to cut or grind on the frame like the Demco and etrailer options. This is why I recommend the Roadmaster over the others. For tow bars I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676. They allow your to direct connect to the base plate without the need of the crossbar. These will come prewired with 7-way motorhome...

  • Availability Of Base Plate For 2024 Hyundai Tucson
    Hello Robert, thanks for reaching out. I am sorry to say we do not offer a base plate for the 2024 Hyundai Tucson. According to the owner's manual I found online, the 2024 Tucson should not be flat towed. If it must be towed it should be on a car trailer with all four wheels off the ground. None of our base plate manufacturers (Roadmaster, Blue Ox, Demco ect...) make anything for this vehicle, and that is probably why.

  • Why Is A Battery Disconnect Needed To Flat Tow A 2022 GMC Canyon
    The battery disconnection requirement isn't just related to the steering column being unlocked. The steering column needs to remain unlocked so that the front wheels can turn while towing so that you don't just drag the wheels every time you make a turn. The battery powers multiple components that you wouldn't want powered while flat towing, which is why the manufacturer states "Failure to disconnect the negative battery cable or to have it contact the terminals can cause damage to the...

  • How To Tell If 2022 GMC Canyon Elevation 4WD Can Be Flat Towed
    The owner's manual is what we defer to when it comes to flat towing vehicles. It looks like your 2022 GMC Canyon Elevation does states that the 4WD vehicle needs to have the N (Neutral) and 4WD Low settings to flat tow it. From what I'm seeing it does look like this is always present on the Elevation model so you'll need to contact whoever you're purchasing the truck from to ensure it has these settings.

    For a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado you only flat tow four-wheel-drive vehicles that have an N (Neutral) and a Four-Wheel Drive Low (4 (n) setting. Look for knob on the dashboard. This will most likely be the last position on the right of the knob and be an "N" that will illuminate when placed in neutral. First apply the parking brake and start the engine. Then shift the transfer case to N (Neutral). Verify that the vehicle is in N (Neutral) by shifting the transmission to R (Reverse) and...

  • Can A 2021 Chevy Colorado 2x2 Be Towed Behind An RV?
    Your 2021 Chevrolet owners manual, starting at about page 300, states that the 2 wheel drive Colorado cannot be flat towed or dolly towed without risk of damaging drive train components. Any damage would not be covered by the warranty. The next step would be to contact your Chevrolet dealership and see if there is any drive train modification that can be done to allow flat towing. If they give you a solution then you will need the following parts. First you will need base plates...

  • How To Know If You Need A High/Low Adapter To Flat Tow Your 2022 GMC Canyon
    If you're flat towing your 2022 GMC Canyon then you'll want to ensure that your tow bar is level between the Canyon and the motorhome. You'll have a 3" "safe zone" from level with a motorhome-mounted tow bar (pictured below). If you fall outside of the 3" safe zone then you'll need to measure the hitch height and baseplate height. You'll measure from the center of the motorhome trailer hitch to the ground for the hitch height and from the ground to the center of the baseplate tabs for...
