2019 Chevrolet Equinox - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Twist Lock Attachment

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 Chevrolet Equinox'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.

  • Do You Need to Run a 2021, 2022 or 2023 Chevrolet Equinox at Certain Times When Flat Towing
    Yes, the engine on your Chevrolet Equinox will need to be run at times when flat towing. The easiest way to determine what needs to be done to flat tow your Equinox is to consult your owners manual. I went ahead and took a look at the owners manual for both the 2021 and 2022 Chevrolet Equinox. For either model year, you will need to run the vehicle at the beginning of each day and at each RV fuel stop for about 5 minutes. This will ensure proper lubrication of the transmission components.

  • Recommended Parts To Flat-Tow 2020 Chevrolet Equinox Premiere
    The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676 is an excellent option for a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox Premiere when used with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-523193-5. For wiring, the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 is what you'd want to use.

  • Does 2019 Chevy Equinox Need Charge Cable to Flat Tow With Roadmaster InvisiBrake
    The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 does not have any type of converter, and though we are not familiar with semi truck wiring, I would assume you would still need to use it. The InvisiBrake will also not keep your battery charged so it is recommended you follow Chevy's instructions in regards to a charge cable. The rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 2019 Chevy Equinox are: - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms...

  • Can a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox with 2.0L Gas Engine Be Flat-Towed
    According to the owner's manual (page 355) for your 2019 Chevrolet Equinox, all models with the 2.0L gas engine can be flat-towed with four wheels down. Therefore, it does appear you are getting incorrect information from the dealer. I have attached a list of the best parts to use to flat-tow the above vehicle along with some install videos for you as well.

  • Parts Needed To Flat-Tow a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox with 2.0 Turbo
    Yes, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-523193-5 is a fit for your 2019 Chevrolet Equinox with the 2.0L turbo engine. I checked with Roadmaster to confirm this for you as well. Also, you do not have hydroboost power assist brakes so no need to worry about that for the InvisiBrake. In order to complete your flat-towing setup you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, tail light wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. There may also...

  • How Much Time Would It Take To Install a Roadmaster Base Plate and InvisiBrake On a 2020 Equinox LS?
    Roadmaster gives an estimate of 3 hours for their Base Plate # RM-523193-5 on your 2020 Chevrolet Equinox LS. Do understand that this time from is for an experienced technician. If you are installing this yourself Bill, I would double that time for an average DIY enthusiast.

  • Recommended Supplemental Braking System for a 2021 Chevy Equinox Towed by an RV w/ Air Brakes
    Since your 2007 HR Neptune XL motorhome has air brakes you will want to use the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System item # SM99243 with your 2021 Chevy Equinox. This system has been specifically designed to work with RVs equipped with air brakes like yours.

  • Can A Roadmaster Baseplate Be Installed On A 2023 Chevy Equinox RS With Lower Active Air Shutters
    You can still get the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523193-5 to fit, but you'll have to trim or even remove some of the air shutters in order for it to fit. Since that's quite a bit of modification Roadmaster just lists the fit as incompatible and therefore most shops will want to avoid installing the baseplate to avoid any liability. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding...
