If you care about keeping your vehicle’s front end clean and uncluttered, this base plate kit does it right. The streamlined design eliminates the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar, leaving no bulky parts in sight when the removable drawbars are off. Once detached, the remaining brackets sit tucked within the grille for a look that stays close to factory and protects the mounts from scrapes.
Hooking up takes just a few seconds thanks to the direct-connect brackets and twist-lock arms. Slide each arm into place, twist until it clicks, and you’re ready to tow. When it’s time to unhook, pull the built-in ring to release, twist back, and slide out. The simple motion makes alignment fast whether you’re setting up in the driveway or on the road.
Computer-cut, all-steel construction gives this setup its strength. The base plates mount directly to the frame with no welding required, spreading towing forces evenly for stability and durability over long hauls. A black powder coat finish resists corrosion so it stays looking sharp after thousands of miles. Each kit is custom-fit to ensure proper alignment and secure mounting hardware every time.
This base plate kit pairs exclusively with Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch—like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. Pins to connect the base plate to the tow bar (RM-910029) are sold separately, so you can customize your setup exactly how you need it without extra parts cluttering your install.
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.

I’ve pulled the Chevy behind our motor home several times over a the last year. It has worked excellent. And when not in tow the tubing is barely noticeable.

Wow great job Crystal! It looks great! Also, I couldn’t help but notice “Ski Express” on the car, that’s pretty cool. What kind of work do you do?

Which trim is your 2026 Chevy Trax? Per Roadmaster, the # RM25EQ (523228-5) fits all trims of the 2026 Trax except the ACTIV trim....

It’s been a great year. No problems with the base plate. Works great with my tow bar. Towed my trailblazer from Texas to North Dakota and back, and several short trips.
