This setup uses computer-cut, all-steel brackets that bolt to the frame to give you a solid connection point for your tow bar. The steel build spreads towing forces evenly, keeping things steady when you’re logging long miles. A black powder coat finish adds corrosion resistance so it keeps its strength and looks over time.
If you want a straightforward and economical way to get a solid towing connection, this fixed-arm base plate does the job without extra moving parts. The crossbar-style design gives you stable attachment points that stay put once installed, so there’s no need to remove or store arms between trips.
This kit works with Roadmaster tow bars when used with the quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 — sold separately). It’s an easy way to keep your existing towing gear in play while stepping up to dependable frame-mounted brackets that line up cleanly every time you hook up.
Everything needed for mounting comes in the box — instructions and hardware are included so you can get right to work. Once bolted on, you’ve got a permanent, heavy-duty setup built for years of towing duty with minimal fuss.

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.
