2014 Mini Cooper - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms

  • 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 Mini Cooper'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.

  • How do I Unlock My Steering Column on Mini Cooper to Flat Tow? What Parts do I Need to Flat Tow?
    Hello JC, Here is the information that I found on how to unlock your steering wheel to flat tow your 2018 Mini Cooper: To flat tow your 2018 Mini Cooper with a manual transmission, unlocking the steering wheel is super easy. Just pop the key into the ignition and turn it to the accessory position—this is usually the first click, where the radio comes on but the engine stays off. If your Mini uses a push-button start, just press the Start/Stop button once without touching the clutch or...

  • How To Use Demco Tow Bar with Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
    I looked up to see what base plates you have on your 2017 Mini Cooper. You have the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-521884-5. To use your Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar, # DM9511012-BX all you need to do is swap out the removable arms on your base plates with the Universal Tow Bar Adapter for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Baseplates, # RM62ZR. Swapping out the arms with these will actually allow you to use a Blue Ox, or Curt tow bar as well.

  • Flat Towing 2015 Mini Cooper Behind Motorhome
    We do have all of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 2015 Mini Cooper behind your RV as long as it's a manual transmission vehicle. If it's an automatic you'd have to use a tow dolly like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1 since the vehicle can't be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. The dolly can be used on either vehicle configuration though and does have a bit easier of an install since it's one thing to assemble and not several things that need to be installed on the vehicle. For...

  • Is Wiring Converter Needed for Flat Towing 2015 Mini Cooper
    That's a good question but a wiring converter is not needed to install the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 on your 2015 Mini Cooper. Since it has separate lighting and your motorhome has combined lighting you can add Tail Light Converter # 118158 if you want to retain your Mini's separate turn and brake signals but it isn't a requirement. In regards to the airline you will run the vacuum line of the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System #...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Mini Cooper Behind an RV
    I will be happy to help you get the parts needed to flat tow your 2015 Mini Cooper behind your motor home. The first thing you will need is base plates. For your 2015 Mini Cooper use # RM-521884-5 if it's a Base model or # RM-521882-5 if it's an S model. I have linked the install details for both of them. Next you will need a compatible tow bar. The tow bar I recommend the most is the Sterling, # RM-576. This tow bar does include another item you will need, safety cables. I have linked...

  • Compatible Flat Towing Equipment For A 2021 Mini Cooper 2dr Hardtop Base Model
    We most likely haven't had the opportunity to test fit the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521884-5 on a 2021 Mini Cooper 2dr hardtop base model yet which is why it isn't in our fitguide. Since Roadmaster is endorsing this as a fit for your vehicle then we will have it added to our site. Direct-Connect base plates like this make hooking and unhooking your tow bar super easy. The direct-connect arms are also removable, which will provide a clean look and prevent them from being...

  • How to Connect an Older Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar to Direct Connect Base Plates
    I've got good news for you. All you'll need to do is remove the crossbar from your Falcon 2, RM-520, no adapter necessary. The towbar arms will then attach directly to the removable arms of the # RM-521884-5 base plate. Couldn't be simpler. You can see this at the 1:10 mark of the video I've linked for you. The video shows a direct connect base plate in use on a different vehicle, but it will show you how things fit together. In addition to the base plate and tow bars, you'll need safety...

  • Roadmaster EZ5 Baseplate Compatibility with Falcon 2 Tow Bar
    The Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521884-5 for your 2015 Mini Cooper are absolutely compatible with your Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520. You will simply remove the quick connection crossbar used for other baseplates and directly connect the tow bar to each side individually. I do recommend using Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420 for your base plate installation. If you have other questions or need other components for your flat towing system let me know and I'd be happy...
