Features to know about

Effortless Towing with Secure Spring-Loaded Snap Hooks: Heavy-Duty Connection

When you're towing, stability and security are key. With the Roadmaster safety cables, you get heavy-duty, drop-forged steel hooks with spring-loaded latches for added safety and peace of mind. These snap hooks are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection every time you hitch up, ensuring nothing disrupts your journey.

Protect Your Gear with Durable Vinyl Coating: Scratch-Free Experience

Nothing's worse than finding scratches and chips on your tow bar after a long haul. That's why these cables come with a vinyl coating, which not only looks great but also protects your towing gear from damage. The smooth coating acts as a barrier against wear and tear, keeping your setup looking like new, trip after trip.

Reliable Long-Distance Towing: 8,000 lbs Capacity for Peace of Mind

Long hauls can be grueling, but knowing you have a product you can rely on makes it easier. The Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables are tested to withstand up to 8,000 lbs, making them a dependable choice for heavy-duty towing. With this level of strength, you can trust these cables to keep your load secure over thousands of miles.

Universal Fit with Ease: Flexible 64-Inch Length

Trying to find safety cables that fit just right can be a hassle, especially with varying setups. Thankfully, these cables feature a 64-inch length, designed to provide the flexibility you need while keeping your towing connections tension-free. Ideal for those who need a reliable fit for their unique towing configuration.

Galvanized Steel for Superior Strength: Built to Last

Towing requires gear that can withstand the elements. Made from aircraft-type galvanized steel, these safety cables are built for superior strength and longevity. The galvanization process enhances durability, making the cables resistant to rust and environmental wear. You can confidently tow through diverse weather conditions knowing your safety cables are up to the task.

User-Friendly Installation: Simple Fit for Non-Binding Tow Bars

Installation can sometimes be the most daunting part of towing gear, but these cables make it straightforward. They are compatible with the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar and easily thread through the built-in cable guide. This design streamlines the process, allowing you to spend less time setting up and more time on the road.

Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables

Today we're going to be installing the Roadmaster 64" Single Hook Straight Safety Cables, part number RM-645. In conjunction with the safety cables, this vehicle also has the Roadmaster Easy Floor Baseplate Kit installed, part number 523173-4, as well as the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar, part number RM-522. We've already got everything else hooked up on our tow bar set up. All that's left to do is tie in our safety cables. We'll go ahead and take the end that has just the loop on it and we'll feed it through the slot here on the side of our falcon tow bar. Go ahead and take the end of our safety cable and we'll feed it through. We'll pull it out down on this end.

We'll go ahead and take one of the quick links that comes with the safety cables. Go ahead and feed it through the opening right here on the tow bar. We'll then attach the short safety cable that comes off the baseplate to the tow bar. Then we'll add in our new 64" safety cable. We'll then close the D-ring or the quick link up.

We'll then take our adjustable wrench here and we'll tighten it down. Then go ahead and repeat the same process over on the other side. Now all that's left to do is hook our ends with the hooks on them to the safety cable ring here on our hitch. You want to make sure that when you do that that you cross the safety cables, so you'll take the one from the passenger side and hook it over here on the driver side, like that. Then we'll repeat the same process for the other one. That will do it for our installation of the Roadmaster 64" Single Hook Safety Cables, part number RM-645.

  • Will Redarc Brake Controller Work With Motorhome Towing Chevy Colorado
    Hi Eric; the Redarc you have is a traditional brake controller that is designed for trailer brakes. It will only work with a trailer that has electric or electric over hydraulic brakes. It would be great if this could work for flat towing too but unfortunately, you will need a different kind of braking system to flat tow your 2016 Chevy Colorado. I'm assuming this is still the 2016 you asked about from the other day and not a 2022 like you added in our fitguide. If your RV has hydraulic...

    Hi Pat; I can definitely help you get the parts you need to flat tow your 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid. You will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental brake system. I recommend the following: -Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM97RR -Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 -Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645 -Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 -Roadmaster Battery Charge...

    Hey Will! You can flat tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Willys with a Dana 44 axle as long as you have a two-speed transfer case. Make sure to check your owner's manual to verify this information. Does it have the standard bumper on the front? Pictures look like it has the standard factory bumper. The parts will be the same regardless of the edition. I recommend the following: -Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-5 (assuming standard factory bumper) -Roadmaster...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2024 Ram 1500 Behind Motorhome With Roadmaster Tow Bar
    Hi Robert; hopefully your Roadmaster tow bar is one that attaches to direct-connect base plates as opposed to crossbar base plates; for example the 8,000 lb Roadmaster Sterling would be optimal. Assuming that, here is what you need to flat tow your 2024 Ram 1500 with a tow bar like the Sterling # RM-576: - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-522203-5 - Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Wiring Kit # RM-15267 - Supplemental Braking System - MOTORHOME WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES:...

  • All Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2023 Ford Escape PHEV & Difference Between Wiring
    Hi Mike, So starting with the wiring, the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55VV you mentioned isn't for flat towing, it's for towing a trailer behind your 2023 Ford Escape PHEV and goes to the rear of your vehicle. You were correct there are no kits that are direct connections so you will have to splice and use a kit that goes to the front of your Escape, the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. I know it's not what...

  • How To Flat Tow A 2020 Chevy Colorado and Parts Needed to Flat Tow
    Great question Betty! The 2020 Chevy Colorado can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground as long as the truck has a neutral and four wheel drive low setting. Before flat towing, apply the parking brake, start the engine, shift the transfer case to neutral, leave the key in accessory and then disconnect the negative battery cable. Make sure the steering wheel is unlocked, depress the brake pedal and release the parking brake. Make sure the ignition stays in accessory to prevent...

    You are correct that your 2021 Chevrolet Traverse can be flat towed behind your Class A Diesel RV. I have not heard of any electrical issues caused by installing the tow bar wiring or supplemental braking system wiring. To flat tow your Traverse you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.

This base plate kit is confirmed to fit your Jeep with the factory bumper and will work perfectly with your existing Falcon 2 Tow Bar. When installing the base plates, you will likely need to trim some fascia to allow enough room for the receivers (see attached pictures). I have attached the complete installation instructions that you can also look through. In order to flat tow your Jeep JL Wrangler,...

  • How to Tow a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Behind a Motorhome
    You can flat tow the 2019 Jeep Cherokee if it is a 4x4 model with 2-speed power transfer unit. Models with the 1-speed power transfer unit would have to be put on a trailer. None of the 2-wheel drive models can be flat towed but you can dolly tow front wheel drive models from the front. If you do have a model that can be flat towed and it is a Trailhawk or Overland edition you can use base plates # RM-521451-5. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522.

  • Tow Bar & Base Plates for 2004 Honda CR-V
    Tow bars are not vehicle specific except in terms of weight capacity but it is generally easiest to use a tow bar and base plate from the same maker since this avoids the hassle and expense of the adapters that are needed to join parts from different manufacturers. If you do not have base plates already you'll probably want to make that selection before choosing a tow bar. We have base plates for your 2004 Honda CR-V shown on the linked page. We have models that will work with or without...

  • Wiring for Flat Towing 2023 Ford Maverick
    Hey Brad! You can use the Demco # DM66VR on your 2023 Ford Maverick. However, I recommend the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 instead. This comes with an auto reset breaker so you don't have to worry about replacing a fuse if the fuse blows. For wiring you can use the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267. This comes with the connector along with the adapter cord to connect to your motorhome.

    In order to flat-tow a 2016 Ford Focus with all four wheels on the ground you are going to need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, supplemental braking system, wiring harness, and possible high-low adapter. Before getting started, I highly recommend taking a look in the owner's manual for any specific procedures that must be done while in tow.

    Officially the 2007 Honda Odyssey is not towable, however many companies give the disclaimer that a large number of customers are towing it with the emergency towing procedures outlined in your owners manual without issue. If you choose to do so you will be outside of any warranty and taking the risk.

  • Difference Between Roadmaster Crossbar-Style and Direct Connect Base Plate for 2018 Subaru Forester
    Hi Carl, the difference is in the style of base plate. The # RM-52923-4 is the crossbar style which also requires the Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Tow Bars # 910021-00. The # 52923-5 is the direct connect style so a tow bar like the # RM-522 mounts directly to the arms. I would definitely choose the direct connect over the crossbar style. The reason this does not show stock right now is because Roadmaster is out of stock. Our ETA shows about a month at...
