When you’re not towing, you don’t want bulky brackets sticking out. This crossbar-style setup uses hidden brackets that bolt to the frame, keeping your front end clean. The square drawbars come off with two hitch pins, leaving behind brackets that sit tucked inside the grille—protected from scrapes and barely visible once the arms are removed.
Flat towing puts a lot of force on your hardware, so strength matters. This kit uses computer-cut, all-steel construction for tight tolerances and consistent pulling strength. The black powder coat finish adds durability and corrosion resistance for long-term use through cross-country hauls or years of weekend trips.
Hooking up doesn’t have to be a chore. The square drawbars slide into the base plate sockets and secure with hitch pins—no tools or complex alignment steps needed. When it’s time to unhook, just pull the pins and store the arms in seconds. That quick-disconnect design makes setup easy whether you’re working alone or breaking camp in a hurry.
This base plate kit is built for a precise, custom fit that lines up with your vehicle’s existing frame points. The installation is straightforward and requires no welding. It includes the mounting hardware and instructions you need for a confident bolt-on install that’s ready for the road once complete.
If you’re already using a Roadmaster tow bar, this kit fits right in. It connects with Roadmaster tow bars when used with a quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00, sold separately), so you can keep your current setup while adding a clean, reliable base plate that locks in securely every time you tow.
The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible.

It really is invisible! It took me a second to even find the base plates in your photo!

Thanks for the review and for sharing your installation experience Christian. Your tip about leaving the bumper on during install is really helpful, especially since fitting the ends through the louvers can take a little extra maneuvering. It’s also great to hear the setup works well with your Stowmaster 5000. The install looks great, and we appreciate you sharing the picture! Where did you go for the first trip?

Everything related to my Mini towing system is working great after a year of use.i do wish I had bought a cover for the tow bar though. Keeping it clean would be easier with the cover. Great products and service from etrailet

New system working fine. As with previous system it requires towed vehicle to be nearly perfectly aligned straight behind motorhome to disconnect without considerable tension.

I dont have the car that I bought the base plate for, however, I bought a new Honda CR-V and had a Road Master base plate put on it and it is really working out great.
