Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM42FR

  • 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.

  • Adapter for Demco Commander II Tow Bar to Roadmaster Base Plate Kit on a 2017 Wrangler Rubicon
    Hey Earl! The Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012 can definitely be used with a Roadmaster base plate kit! You'll need the Adapter # DM9523001 for the Crossbar-Bar Style # RM-521448-4, or the Adapter # DM9523032 for the Direct-Connect # RM42FR. If you have the standard factory bumper, you can also use the Demco Base Plate Kit # DM9519292 so you don't have to get an adapter. Do you already have the base plate kit?

  • Is Install Hardware Included With The Roadmaster Base Plate RM42FR?
    Hi David! All the mounting hardware is indeed included with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM42FR (see the included picture). You will just need your own tools for the install. Unless you borrow someone else's tools or have someone else install it, that is. I saw you entered a 2012 Jeep Wrangler into our fit-guide (which this fits), but but wanted to mention that this specific base plate is designed to only be compatible with Wranglers that have the Warn Elite bumper,...

  • What Aftermarket Jeep JK Bumpers Are Compatible with Roadmaster Base Plate Kits
    When the Roadmaster # RM-521448-4 base plates are designed, they're designed to work with the standard factory bumper only. Due to the myriad of aftermarket bumpers available for the Jeep Wrangler JK platform, it'd be near impossible for Roadaster to test fit with all of them. The only aftermarket bumper Roadmaster mentions that's compatible with their base plates is the Warn Elite 101420 which is compatible with the # RM42FR direct connect base plate or the # RM92FR crossbar-style base...

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2014 Jeep Wrangler With Warn Winch Bumper
    Roadmaster has the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM42FR, which is confirmed to fit the Warn Elite Bumper model no. 101420. You'll want to verify that this is the model number of your bumper to confirm fitment. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations as well: Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms of the so you won't have to purchase them...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2016 Jeep Wrangler
    You shouldn't need to add anything to your RV. It looks like the 2018 Winnebago Vista came with a 2" hitch rated for 5,000 lbs and a 7-way connector. The 7-Way connector is what you will plug the wiring coming from your Jeep into. Your Winnebago has hydraulic brakes so you won't need to mess with air lines. I am not sure what list you are going off of but here's another one with the Roadmaster parts I recommend using to flat tow your 2016 Jeep Wrangler: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster...

  • Parts Recommended for Flat Towing a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon/ Automatic Trans.
    For starters, you'll need base plates, but the base plates needed will depend on the front bumper your Wrangler is equipped with. If it's the straight factory bumper, use # RM-521448-5. If you have the Warn Elite 87750 or 87775 bumper, use # 1439-3. For a Warn Elite 101420 bumper with no lower valence below the bumper, use # RM42FR. For a tow bar, I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-terrain tow bar, part # RM-522. The Falcon All-terrain will self center and lock into place while you...
