Features to know about

Quick and Easy Hookups: Removable Arms with Twist Lock Attachment

For those who love a polished and neat look on their vehicle when not towing, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit shines with its removable arms and twist-lock attachment. These arms snap effortlessly into position and, with a simple twist, lock securely, allowing for quick engagement and removal. When not in use, pull and twist, and the arms are out, leaving the brackets hidden and maintaining the vehicle's clean aesthetic.

Effortless and Streamlined Installation: No Welding Required

Skip the hassle of welding with this base plate kit! The all-steel construction mounts directly onto your vehicle's frame, ensuring a straightforward installation. Designed with precision, the custom-fit guarantees that your vehicle remains unaltered yet equipped with a robust support system ready for your adventures.

Tailored for Perfection: Custom Fit for Your Vehicle

Forget the worries of subpar fittings and unstable setups. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit promises a perfect match with its custom design specific to your vehicle model. This ensures that not only does the setup look integrated, but it also provides unwavering support for your journeys, no matter where the road leads.

Protect Against Wear: Hidden Bracket Design

Tired of unsightly hardware sticking out and accumulating grim? With an innovative hidden bracket design, once the arms are removed, these base plates sit nestled within your vehicle's grille. This doesn’t just enhance your vehicle's aesthetics by keeping parts out of sight but also shields against potential scrapes and wear.

Rugged Durability in Every Journey: Black Powder Coat Finish

The base plate kit's black powder coat finish is a testament to its enduring construction. This finish isn’t just about a sleek look; it ensures significant resistance against corrosion and wear, even in challenging weather and road conditions. Trust in a product that doesn't just persist but performs under duress.

Exclusive Compatibility Ensures Perfect Operation: Works with Roadmaster Tow Bars

Tailored specifically for Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars, this kit insists on compatibility without compromise. Whether using the Nighthawk, Falcon, or Blackhawk models, rest assured that this kit complements and enhances the towing experience, ensuring a secure and reliable connection for your adventures.

  • Recommended Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler
    Hey Christian, welcome to the world of RV-ing! So in addition to the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 you're also goin to need: - A baseplate kit, like the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. These attach to the Jeep itself so you can hook up the tow bars. - A braking system, like the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251 with the stop light switch # RM-751490.

  • Recommended Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL or JL Unlimited
    For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, I recommend starting with the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This kit has removable arms to give you a very clean look when not flat towing your Jeep, and also gives you a clean connection to your tow bar when towing behind your motorhome. I recommend installing this base plate using Loctite threadlocker # LT37420 to keep your hardware from vibrating loose over time. For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding...

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4XE Require Removal of Skid Plate
    Hi Lisa; the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 will require trimming your skid plate. You will remove it, trim it as seen in the picture below, and reinstall it when you're finished. There is really no way around this, and the same is true for other base plate kits. I'm assuming you already have part of your wiring from the Nighthawk # RM-676. If you have the ParkSense proximity sensors you need the # RM47ZR and if you do not have ParkSense the # RM-154 to complete...

  • Recommended Parts Needed to Flat Recreational Tow a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
    We do have the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 available for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited. This fits as long as your JL has the standard factory bumper without a winch or guard. For a compatible tow bar I recommend going with the Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 along with the coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 which gives you a great tow bar and safety cables rated for up to 6,000 lbs. Please note that a complete flat towing setup includes a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables,...

  • Comparing Direct-Connect and Crossbar Base Plates for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
    The difference between the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 and Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-4 is how tow bars attach. As the name suggests, you will connect your tow bar straight to the direct-connect base plates while the crossbar style will require you use your tow bar's crossbar or quick-disconnect. This makes the direct-connect the easiest base plate to connect to and disconnect from. Because of that, for your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited...

    Hey John, for your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL you can use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 for a base plate kit, the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 for a tow bar, and the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brake # SM99251 for a braking system.

    The easiest solution would be to install the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 if your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited has the standard factory bumper. For this base plate kit to work with your Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420 you simply need the Adapter Brackets # BX88185. These adapter brackets change the connection points on your tow bar so that they are compatible with the EZ5 base plate kit.

    Yes, the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit part # RM-521453-5 will fit your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Sport S as long as you have the factory front bumper. This base plate kits work with all motorhome mounted Roadmaster tow bars. For this, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520.

    The Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink Monitor - Proportional # DM86VR and Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39530 are very similar systems with only a few differences. The first one being the cost, the # DM86VR has a higher cost than the # HM39530. The # HM39530 comes with a charge line kit which will keep your vehicle's battery charged, whereas the # DM86VR would require you to purchase a charge line kit like the #...

  • Which Roadmaster Base Plates For 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara For Flat Towing
    Hey Don, So the Roadmaster # RM35GR only fits Jeeps with that have a factory steel bumper that has a winch on it. Your 2024 Jeep Wrangler Sahara won't have that so the correct base plates are the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. As for the wiring, that is correct the Curt harness does not mention ParkSense as it is not for those Jeeps with Parksense. If you have the ParkSense you will need the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage...

  • Recommended Parts to Flat Tow 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
    For flat towing your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited you are on the right track for the correct components you'd need but for a base plate kit I would actually recommend the # RM-521453-5 as it's easier to use than the kit you mentioned and doesn't require the tow bar to have to use a crossbar.

  • Which Base Plate Adapter for Blue Ox Tow Bar and Roadmaster or Demco Baseplates on 2021 Jeep JLU
    In order to make Roadmaster or Demco base plates like the # RM-521453-4, # RM-521453-5 or # DM9519336 work with a Blue Ox tow bar you will need adapters that depend on the specific tow bar and base plate combination. The # RM-521453-4 can use either # RM-032 or # BX88178 to make it compatible with most Blue Ox tow bars. The # RM-521453-5 uses the # BX88185 to make it compatible with the same Blue Ox tow bars. The # DM9519336 is a tabless baseplate, so you'll want to use the # DM9523127...

    I believe you have Roadmaster baseplates like # RM-521453-5 instead since the Curt baseplate that's confirmed to fit your 2020 Jeep Wrangler is a different style than what you have pictured. You best bet to confirm would be to remove the underbelly skid plate to get a better look at them to confirm. If they are Roadmaster branded then you'll need to fill out the form under the Installation Details on # RM-ARMS, which I've also attached below and send it in to Roadmaster to get the correct...
