Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM98VR

  • 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.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500
    No on a brake-lite-relay kit but you might need a stop light switch, it depends on your truck. I checked with Roadmaster and they said, If the brake lights do not work with your Silverado's ignition key turned to the "tow" position, then you need a brake light switch kit to provide a signal to the supplemental braking system. They recommend using the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751000. Some other parts you will need to flat tow your 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 are...

  • Does Battery of 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Need to Disconnect to Flat Tow
    I pulled up the owners manual of your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 and before you flat tow it you do need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery. So to power a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR you'd need to use an outlet kit like the part # RM-9332 which wires directly to the disconnected battery. On page 378 of your manual you'll see all of the instructions for flat towing the vehicle. The Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM98VR that you referenced...

  • Can Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect Be Used On 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 Diesel
    The Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect part # RM-766 cannot be used on a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Diesel. The cranking amps of the battery are too high and it will fry the solenoid. The only option you have is to manually disconnect the batteries. I have attached a list of parts below as well for your viewing.

To flat tow you'll need a tow bar, base plate, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
    I am not completely sure what you are trying to rewire. Vehicles and motorhomes do not use 24v for lights. Diesel motorhomes and trucks typically use 24v for the starter but only 12v for everything else. So wiring like the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 will work just fine. If there is something particular you are not sure about, please let me know and I would be happy to address it. To flat tow, you will need at least 5 main parts. Those parts being a base plate...
