Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-52927-5

  • 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 vehicle'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.

  • Can 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with Manual Transmission be Flat Towed behind Motorhome
    Yes, your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with a manual transmission is flat-towable. You'll need a few things to do this. First is a base plate kit. For that you'd want the Roadmaster Direct Connect kit part # RM-52927-5 which is custom fit for your vehicle so it will install easily and work well. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All...

    As long as your transmission is placed in neutral you will be able to flat tow your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. To flat tow your Crosstrek you'll need the following parts: Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-52927-5. Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar is designed to work with the baseplate I recommended above and comes with an adjustable head and shank to help keep the tow bar level between your motorhome and vehicle.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with Manual Transmission
    To get your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek set up for flat towing I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-52927-5 because I think it has a slightly easier installation than some others. Then the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR paired with the Replacement Base Pins # RM-910029 to attach to the base plate. The etrailer tow bar will come with the needed safety chains. I prefer the installed braking systems because you wont have to mess with moving the system in and out...

  • Parts to Flat Tow a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with a Manual Transmission
    I wasn't able to find anything that said the manual transmission model cannot be flat towed. With that being said it's not up to me, it's up to Subaru. And I can't recommend you going against what they're telling you. There very well could be other factors that prevent the car from being flat towed other than the transmission. I can't recall the exact model/year but there are some Subarus that cannot be flat towed because the front bumper is rated or towing. Not sure if this is the...

    Thanks for the pictures and all the information! Since you have the Falcon 2 Tow bar you can use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM-52927-5 you were looking at and get rid of the crossbar. This kit is confirmed to fit your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek. The direct connect kits are easier to work with then the Cross-Bar style like item # RM-52927-4. Plus it is one less moving part.

  • What Kind of Port is Inside the 2018 Winnebago Fuse 23A and Can it Be Used for Flat Towing?
    You're welcome and thanks again for the pictures! The connector inside your RV is called an OBD2 port and it's used for inspections and other diagnostics. It does not work with anything towing related or a brake system like the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System item # RM-8700. What's on the rear of your Winnebago is a 7-Way connector which is exactly what you'll need to connect to the 6-way connector on your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek using a cable like item # RM-1676-7.

  • Recommended Base Plate Kit for 2023 Subaru Crosstrek with Least Amount of Drilling/Cutting Required
    The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-52927-5 is what I recommend for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek as the option with least amount of modifications required. The only drilling/cutting into the frame that is required is enlarging an existing hole on each side but that is it and pretty minor as far as most base plate kit installations go. This will then pair perfectly with a tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676. I have attached some...

  • Steps Needed To Flat Tow A 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Manual Transmission
    While the vehicle is off you'll need to pop up the little cap by your shifter, which you can do with a flat head screw driver. You'll need stick the screwdriver down into the opening and will be then able to press on the brake pedal and move the shifter to neutral. You'll want to use a pretty long screwdriver to do this. This will shift your transmission into neutral allowing you to tow the vehicle. For your 2023 Subaru Crosstrek I still have the following recommendations as my other answer...

    The only 2023 Subaru that has a base plate for flat towing at this time is the 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. Keep in mind, you can only flat tow the Crosstrek if it has a manual transmission.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek
    There are a couple of options to flat tow the 2023 Crosstrek depending on what transmission you have. If you have an automatic transmission you will need to use a tow dolly like item # DM9713093. The automatic transmission equipped Crosstrek's can not be towed four wheels down. You'll need to use a tow dolly or a trailer.

  • Can a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Be Flat Towed
    The 2023 Subaru Crosstrek can be flat-towed with all four wheels down. That said, models with a CVT transmission are limited to a traveling speed less than 20 mph and distance less than 31 miles according to the manual. Therefore, you can really only flat-tow the MT models. The ignition switch should be in the "ON" position. If you would like further clarification, see page 9-16 of your owner's manual. I have attached a list of parts below as well if needed. Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base...

    I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2019 Subaru Impreza and it doesn't get too specific with regards to what models (manual transmission, AWD, etc) can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. It simply lists a few steps that need to be followed before doing this, which seems to imply that it can be safely accomplished without issue. You will want to read these steps in your copy of the owner's manual before proceeding, which can be found within the "Towing"...

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2022 Subaru Crosstrek - Manual Transmission
    Hey Dennis, The dealer likely just doesn't want to accept any liability and is blanket statement telling you no. The CVT models obviously have to be towed off the ground, but the manual transmission models can be towed with all four wheels down. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits manufacturers from voiding warranties based on aftermarket parts so as long as you correctly install the baseplate and follow all the rules that go along with flat towing your Subaru you would be protected....
