Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • 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.

  • Base Plate Kit and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2022 Ford Escape Titanium Hybrid

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
    Hey Ken, you are definitely on the right track for parts needed to flat tow your 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. The correct base plate kit part # RM39FR will work great with the etrailer tow bar part # e74ZR. Then for a braking system I would go with the Demco Stay N Play part # SM99251 as it's much easier to use and install. 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...

  • Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2024 Ford Maverick Behind a 2010 Winnebago Journey With Air Brakes
    First of all you will need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit 524470-5 # RM97RR for your 2024 Ford Maverick. The item # RM39FR you found is Roadmaster part number 524465-5 which fits certain Ford Escapes. Do understand the baseplate above does not use a crossbar. If you have a set of tow bars like the Sterling # RM-576 it requires a Crossbar # 910021-00 and you would use the Base Plate # RM37RR. For the electrical/lighting you will need the Wiring Kit # RM-154 and the 6-Pin...

    Yes we have everything you need to flat tow your 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid.

The # RM-522 is one of our most popular tow bars due to the non-binding arms that allow you to unhook your tow vehicle easily and quickly...

  • Will Roadmaster Direct Connect Base Plate Kit for 2022 Ford Escape Allow Adaptive Cruise Control
    Great question. So you can leave basically all of the Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate kit part # RM39FR installed on your 2022 Ford Escape and the adaptive cruise control will work. You'll just need to pull out the removable arms of the kit when not in use and you'd be set. You were probably already going to remove them when not in use.

  • 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid Blue Ox Flat Towing Parts Recommendation
    The 2021 and 2022 Ford Escape models are the same generation so if I had to guess I would say that the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU55XR from a 2021 will fit a 2022. At this point in time (February 2022) the only base plate kit that is confirmed to fit your 2022 Escape Hybrid is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM39FR. For a tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380 which is rated for 6,500 lbs and comes with the safety cables. This fits directly...
