Hello, neighbors. Steven here with etrailer.com. Folks, today we're taking a look at our Roadmaster Autowlok Repair Kit for the Falcon Tow Bars model 5250. So, folks, this does replace the Autowlok locking pins and bushings on the older Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar model number 5250. You're gonna get the bushings, the washers, the Autowlok buttons, the two button stems, two caps, two springs, the epoxy, the instructions, and a stir stick. Now, I wanna point out if your serial number on your Falcon Tow Bar is lower than 23240, you will need two bushings that are sold separately to complete the repair on that tow bar.
That's coming from Roadmaster direct. So, again, if your serial number on your Falcon Tow Bar is lower than 23240, you're gonna need a couple bushings sold separately as well to finish that repair. That being said, again, folks, a direct replacement kit from Roadmaster so you can be sure it's gonna work with those Falcon Tow Bar models 5250. Well, folks, that's gonna wrap it up. Just a quick look today.
I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.
Product worked to repair broken arm lock
Easy fix of the springs and buttons on my tow bar. Make sure you have large wrenches and sockets to do the job. Parts and instructions were correct and clear
the bushings were a bit to tight so i had to use old bushings. maybe i ordered the wrong size.
Thank you for a quick response, and the kit that was just what I needed to repair my Falcon 2 towbar.
The passenger side of the towbar would not "lock" so whenever I made a turn, it would jerk. It is loking fine now.
Thanks aain
The kit is excellent. However in my experience I discovered that not all Falcon Tow Bars use the same kit. As I discovered the pistons in the RM-910003-50 kit are just a bit shorter than the ones in my Falcon Two Bar. After contacting Roadmaster regarding the slight difference I was advised that I needed Kit RM-91003-80 and that I should not use the tow bar until I installed the correct kit. It appears to be a change based on production serial numbers, so it pays to check closely before ordering these kits.
On further investigation on the e-trailer site I discovered the "80" kit.
Just a note on replacing the slide locks. It takes patience and a good means to level up and adjust each slide arm to get all the bushings in the correct position prior to inserting the tension bolt. You will need space to work and wood blocks and shims to support and level each component to make the reassembly.
FYI The kit instructions are good. I found that it is essential to remove the "Shoulder Bolt at the tow bar collar before attempting to unscrew the collar. From general appearance it may seem as though the shoulder bolt simply passes through the collar...not so, it actually passes through a recess in the end of the threaded slide rod. This holds the collar in position and prevents the collar from unscrewing until the bolt is removed.
Daylon was great helping me with this product. The kit went together just as it was described,very pleased. Thanks Daylon
Exactly the parts we needed!
I was very happy to locate this kit at etrailer.com. I also purchased kit RM-91003-65 at the same time. Both kits are required to do a complete rebuild of the towbar. They arrived exactly as promised and I have installed both, which saved me around $500, the cost of a new towbar. Installation was straightforward but you do have to "read between the lines" in the included instructions in order to get it right!
I couldn't be more pleased with etrailer.com. I was able to use PayPal, which eliminates the credit card hassle. I occasionally order from various places online and this was definitely one of my best experiences. I immediately received an order confirmation with a shipping notice several hours later. Great customer service and follow up.
We bought a used RV.
It had a an old Roadmaster 5250 tow bar. It needed the complete rebuild kit which was not in stock. The reps(I talked with several as I didn't know what to ask the first one) were all helpful and courteous. They found two separate kits which make up the complete kit so I got what I needed. They actually had Roadmaster drop ship one of the kits to me directly.
I also needed the Quick Disconnect bar kit for the 5250. They helped with that also. They also had the 5250 release tool.
They even had the cover for the old Falcon so when I recondition and paint the old bar it will look and stay as new.
Great folks to deal with.
They are close enough in price to the big "A" so the extra couple of bucks is worth it for the expert advice.
Thanks!
I ordered parts for my tow bar from etrailer. This company communicates well, and follows through on what they say. I was concerned about not being to install this part myself, so Lori sent me the instructions before ever receiving the parts. I received the parts much quicker than expected, and will be able to continue my journey. I also ordered a bike rack a few months earlier. Very pleased with the quality, and again this very solid company.
Thank you etrailer and especially Lori.

Bought a used Falcon 5250 tow bar. Got this kit installed, painted the thing and good as new. One suggestion, include the large square plastic end caps used on each bar.
I rebuilt my Falcon 5250 with this kit and followed the instructions to a tee. The epoxy to hold the sleeves in was applied exactly as per instructions. The sleeves are coming out just like before I rebuilt it so that's just wrong. I spent several hours doing this job and needless to say I am not happy.
Work fine. A little tricky to do, getting the knobs in the right place and put on took some thinking. Would prefer they be threaded because if not heated up they can break. They are to fragile in my opinion, that's why the 4 star.
The kit parts appear to be good quality, everything needed was included and the enclosed instructions are very clear and answered my questions about installation.
Thank you.
I have ordered several items from etrailer in the last year or more and have been very pleased with their service. The employees have been very willing and knowledgeable to answer all of my questions, every time. All my items have been delivered in a timely manner.
Very pleased!
Have not installed it yet, but great service with shipping etc
Quick shipping and item was as described
Product is great, instructions could have been better but with a little thought it was very easy to do.
excellent service. parts arrived quickly so we could continue our trip.
Fit as needed, always great product from E trailer
Just what the doctor ordered. Fixed and back on the road. Why buy new when I can repair what I have.

A year now and still like the day I repaired it.
Repair kit was delivered very quickly and is exactly what I need to repair my tow bar.
Just what I needed. Delivery was fast, parts were correct, and instructions were simple.
It was easy to install and works as it should. I ordered another one for my other tow bar today.
Worked just as advertised. Good directions for rebuild. Saved me big big bucks.

The correct repair kit is working perfectly. We have now been towing the Kia successfully for several trips from Northern KY to FL with no issues.
