This setup is made for the long haul. The computer-cut, all-steel brackets bolt right to the frame for a solid, factory-fit connection that handles heavy-duty towing. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion and road grime so you can count on it to hold up after thousands of miles of travel. Reviewers point out how sturdy and well-built it feels once installed—exactly what you want when your vehicle is tagging along behind the RV.
When you’re not towing, the front end stays clean and uncluttered. The drawbars come off easily with two pins, leaving behind brackets that tuck neatly inside the grille. Nothing sticks out to bump into, and most of the hardware stays protected from scuffs and scrapes. With the arms removed, the setup is practically invisible—no bulky crossbar or steel hanging out where it doesn’t belong.
This direct-connect design skips the crossbar altogether, making setup faster and easier. The arms slide right into the receivers and pin in place for a quick, secure connection. It works with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch receiver—like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2—so there’s no extra hardware in the way when it’s time to hit the road or unhook at camp.
No welding required and no guesswork needed here. The kit includes all mounting hardware and clear instructions for a straightforward install using existing frame points. One reviewer even mentioned finishing up in about two and a half hours—including a lunch break—and didn’t have to cut the bumper cover at all. It’s a satisfying weekend job for anyone who likes to tackle their own setup and knows the value of parts that fit like they should.

Have towed a 2004 Honda CRV with this base plate installed for about 8,000 miles since installation. All nuts are still tight on bolts. Had to shave one of the finger grips on my 4-way electric cable as the mounting bracket on the base plate was 1 inch too close to the license plate mounting bracket. Other than that quick fix, product is performing as expected.

It looks like I just installed it. Even after quite a few trips. And never have had a problem.

Install for the base plate looks awesome, Joe! Unsure if you have a wiring kit yet but there are a few options so I'll go ahead share them with you here in case you don't yet. The most popular kit would be part # RM-15267. This can be difficult to install but it is the most reliable. I've also linked an install video for this kit. Something that still has an integrated look but easier to install I would go with part # RM-155. You do have to drill some holes into the back of the light housing, so if you're okay with doing that, this may be the better kit. Also included an install video for that kit as well. Hopefully the videos will help you get a good idea of how to run the wiring for your lights. Let me know if you have any questions after watching!
