When you’re towing long distances, you want hardware that feels rock-steady every mile. These base plate brackets are computer-cut from all-steel for exceptional strength, so they hold up under constant load and road vibration. The black powder coat finish adds a layer of durability and corrosion resistance to keep the setup looking good and performing strong through years of use.
This kit gives you fixed attachment points that link directly to your tow bar through a crossbar. It’s compatible with Roadmaster tow bars when used with the quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 – sold separately), making hookup straightforward and consistent every time. Once installed, the fixed arms stay in place, ready for reliable connection whenever you need to tow.
Each bracket is designed to bolt up precisely to the vehicle’s frame, so alignment and strength come built-in. All mounting hardware and instructions are included, which keeps the process organized whether you’re tackling it yourself or handing it off to a shop. It’s a clean, step-by-step setup that builds confidence from start to finish.
If you’re looking for dependable towing gear without extra frills, this crossbar-style base plate kit gets the job done. The fixed-bar design trades removable arms for solid simplicity—nothing to misplace or maintain—while delivering good-quality performance at an economical price point.

It’s been great. I only use it to tow my huntn’ rig and never a problem. I’m 87 now and can load and unload by myself.

Install completed and many miles of care free towing behind our motorhome. Fixes suggested made for a simple install. Should be incorporated in future kits. I wont charge for the redesign. :+~ I spent my working life as a mechanical designer builder for a major industrial equipment company.

I spoke to my contact at Roadmaster and he said, as this kit is for vehicles 30 plus years old, it does not fit the new systems, verbiage, and formats that are currently used in installations. With this vehicle being an uncommonly flat towed vehicle as well, they are limited to the one vehicle that came into their shop, which was being the model to design the installation instructions. This can lead to little things not being detailed in the instructions.
