Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • 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 Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, Falcon 2, or Nighthawk. 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.

  • Recommended Tow Bar For Towing 2021 Ford F-350 Behind Class A Motorhome
    For flat towing your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty 4WD behind your Class A motorhome you'll want to go with the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 if your motorhome has a 2" receiver, or the Apollo # BX7470 if you have a 2-1/2" receiver instead. The Avail tow bar has a 10,000lb rating, and the Apollo has a 15,000lb rating, both of which are more than strong enough to tow your truck even if you have some extra cargo loaded in it. To round out your flat tow setup you'll still need the following parts: Base...

  • Complete Flat Towing Setup For A 2022 Ford F-250
    Yes, your 2022 Ford F-250 can be flat towed as long as you have the four wheel drive model. To do so safely, you will need a base plate, tow bar wiring, a tow bar, a braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. -Beginning with the base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM28FR. These are great because unlike traditional base plates, these are virtually invisible when installed, and feature an easy to use draw bars that have a built in pull ring so you...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    Yes, a 4-wheel drive 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty can be flat towed (please refer to your owner's manual for the procedure), and there are a number of parts you'll need to do so, which I'll list for you. - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM28FR - Tow Bar: Roadmaster Sterling All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576 - Safety Cables # RM-645 - Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 - Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play...

  • Recommended Setup for Flat Towing 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    In order to flat tow your 2022 Ford F-250 you will need a base plate, tow bar, wiring, and supplemental braking system. It looks like you can flat tow your truck as long as you have the 4 wheel drive model. Make sure to consult your owner's manual to confirm this information. For a complete setup I recommend the following: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM28FR.

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2023 Ford F-250 With A Roadmaster Tow Bar
    Since there currently isn't a Roadmaster fit for a 2023 Ford F-250 you'll instead need the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM68FR along with an adapter # DM9523036 to connect to your Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522. I do want to note that the capacity of the # RM-522 is only 6,000lbs and the curb weight for your vehicle ranges from 5,677 to 7,538lbs, so you might need to upgrade to a higher capacity tow bar like the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain # RM-422.

  • Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    Your 2020 Ford F-350 does not require a Battery Disconnect # RM-766 since the truck will not drain the battery while being flat towed. With the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # DM26VR you will want to use a Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to prevent the battery from being drained by the braking system. I recommend using the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM28FR with their Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422 for towing your...

  • Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit Compatiblity with Stone Shield/Rock Guard
    The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM28FR do not use the crossbar you referenced. Your Sterling crossbar will attach directly to the brackets. The style of baseplates that use the crossbar are the only ones that can use the stone shield like the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000. This is not compatible with the EZ5 base plates. You can however still use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 to keep road debris from being kicked...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2022 Ford F-250 Behind an RV
    Yes, I can help you out with this. So long as you have the 4 wheel drive 2022 Ford F-250. If you have a 2 wheel drive you will not be able to flat tow your vehicle, per the owners manual you would have to use a trailer. But the 4 wheel drive model can be flat towed. You will want to refer to your owners manual to ensure that you do anything recommended by the manufacturer for flat towing.

  • Correct Flat Tow Wiring for a 2019 Ford F-250 w/ LED Lights
    Yes, we definitely do. Drilling into those LED's kills the entire light and we've heard some horror stories. The correct wiring kit for your 2019 Ford F-250 is the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267. This kit includes everything you need for installation, including diodes that will work with your LED lights and act to prevent any type of electrical feedback. It also includes the 7-way to 6-way cable to connect your RV to your F-250. Here are some other...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Ford F-250
    The first thing you need to flat tow your 2022 Ford F-250 is a base plate kit which we offer with the Roadmaster part # RM28FR. 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 Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar...

  • Can Flat Tow Parts from 2016 Ford F-150 Transfer to 2022 Ford F-250
    A good portion of the flat towing components you have now can be used again when flat towing your 2022 Ford F-250. The first thing you'll need is a new base plate kit with the Blue Ox part # BLU56FR. Demco also has a second vehicle kit for their Air Force One with the part # SM99209 which comes with just the components you would need to install on the new truck if you didn't want to transfer over that from the old truck. I don't know what you have for lighting but it most likely could...

  • Will Base Plate Kit Fit 2020 Ford F-250 With Ranch Hand Grille Guard
    Hi Randy; we do have base plate kits like the Roadmaster # RM28FR that will fit your 2020 Ford F-250. However, none of them will be compatible with a grille guard like the Ranch Hand. They use the same mounting space so I'm sorry to say the grille guard will have to be removed for flat towing.
