Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM45EQ

  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Roadmaster
  • 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.

  • Does Crossbeam of Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM45EQ Provide Support
    Hey Michael, that's a great question but while it doesn't seem like the Roadmaster direct connect kit part # RM45EQ crossbeam bracket would do much it does and it is an integral part of the kit.

  • Roadmaster Base Plate For A 2025 Ford F-150 Non-Hybrid
    Hi Terry! The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms 524467-5 (our part # RM38VR) does indeed use almost the exact same parts as the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms 524477-5 (our part # RM45EQ), save for that wiring harness bracket. It looks like said bracket changed for the 2024 model year for the Ford F-150, but the arms, arm brackets, and hardware are basically exactly the same between the two (I went piece by piece through the instructions...

  • Full Flat Towing Set Up For A 2024 Ford F-150 4x4
    Hi Travis! I can definitely help you get your 2024 Ford F-150 4x4 with the crew cab all set up for flat towing. You are correct in needing the charge line as your battery will be drained while being towed, so I have that included with the parts below. One thing I do have to point out though, getting your truck ready to be flat towed is going to take a bit of work. Most people wouldn't say the vast majority of these installs are easy, but they are very doable by anyone that has some basic...
