Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM78VR

  • 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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Behind Motorhome
    We'd be happy to help with that. As long as your Colorado has a transfer case that has a Neutral and a 4 wheel low position, it can indeed be flat towed. For base plates, I'd recommend the Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate kit, part # RM78VR which Roadmaster confirms is compatible with the ZR2 package. For a tow bar, I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain tow bar, part # RM-522. You'll also need # RM-643 safety cables. To wire the taillights, use the # RM-152-98146-7 diode...

  • Flat Tow Set Up For 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2
    Great question. I checked with RoadMaster and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM78VR is a fit for a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 NON-Bison. If you have a Bison model you can use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM33VR. Either one you choose will work with roadmaster tow bars like Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-522. You will need a braking system, I recommend...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2
    First you will need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM78VR for attaching to the front of your 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. This will provide you with a solid base for the tow bars to connect. You will be able to remove the arms for a cleaner appearance. To connect to your tow vehicle the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 are the bars I recommend. These are heavier bars capable of towing a vehicle up to 8,000lbs. This will allow...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2
    I am going to be perfectly honest with you and let you know that to do a flat towing setup the right way it is not super cheap. The first thing you'll need is a base plate kit like the Roadmaster Direct Connect part # RM78VR which was designed for the ZR2 models of the 2022 Chevy Colorado like you have. 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...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Behind a 2022 Jayco Greyhawk 30Z RV Motorhome
    First you will need the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM78VR for your 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. This kit is specific to your ZR2 and will give you a mount height of 16" with the factory tire size of 265/65R17. You will need to measure the height of the receiver on your 2022 Jayco Greyhawk 30Z to determine if you will need an adapter like the Roadmaster High-Low 4" Adapter # RM-048-4 to keep the bars within 3 inches of level. If you are unsure of what or if you need an adapter...

  • Recommended Tow Bar Base Plate For 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 With Sterling Tow Bars
    For your 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 to be towed with your Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-576 I recommend the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM78VR. This will allow you to quick connect the bars to the baseplate rather than connecting with a cross bar. The Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit # RM-152-1676-7 will provide you with the wiring and connectors for you to wire in your tail lights on your Colorado to use when towing so that you will not have to use...
