Fast, Easy Hookup
This Roadmaster tow bar has a large hookup radius to ensure simple, secure hookup. What this means is that, even if your towed car is not perfectly aligned with your RV, you will still be able to make the necessary connections. To achieve this, the Falcon has stainless steel, telescopic inner arms that adjust independently. In addition, these arms are able to pivot in and out, changing the spread. So, if your car is angled a bit behind your RV, you'll still be able to hook up by bringing the arms closer together and staggering the length so that 1 arm is longer than the other, allowing it to reach the more distant base plate.
The fact that the arms are extra-long also allows for a better turning radius. By putting more distance between your motorhome and your towed car, your entire setup will become easier to maneuver so that your towed car will track behind your motorhome without running the risk of hitting your RV during turns.
When using EZ, EZ2, EZ4, XL, or Classic base plates, quick-disconnects make it a snap to attach the tow bar to your vehicle. Other methods require you to maneuver each tow bar arm individually and perfectly line up tabs on the arms with tabs on your base plates. Roadmaster's unique design lets you connect and disconnect the tow bar quickly and easily, all by yourself.
The quick-disconnect brackets come in separate pieces. The pieces that are positioned on the ends of each tow bar arm interlock with matching brackets that attach to your Roadmaster base plates. Sandwiched between the tow bar arms is a sturdy crossbar that essentially turns the arms into a single structure. This crossbar allows you to lower the tow bar as a single piece onto the quick-disconnect brackets on your towed car so that you don't have to connect each arm separately. When lowering the tow bar onto the brackets, make sure that the tab on each bracket lines up with the hole in the matching bracket. Then just insert the linch pins through the holes in the tabs on top to secure the brackets together. To remove the tow bar, simply remove the pins and lift the tow bar off of the brackets. These convenient brackets also make it simple to mount any number of Roadmaster accessories, from basic safety cables to the Guardian rock shield.
If you have MS, MX, or EZ5 base plates, the arms will connect directly to the base plates. Just remove the quick-disconnect brackets from the ends of the arms and you will be left with lugs that fit into the base plate brackets. Once the lugs are set inside of the brackets, simply insert the included pins to secure them in place.
Non-Binding for Simple Disconnect
The Freedom Latch makes disconnecting this tow bar a breeze. This latch makes it easy to release the tension that can build up in a telescoping arm when the RV and towed car are not perfectly lined up. Just flip the latch to release the pressure, and the arms will be able to telescope freely, making it easy to disconnect the tow bar from the base plates. This allows you to disconnect even when you're at a hard angle or out of level.
Superior Testing Ensures Excellent Quality
This Falcon All-Terrain tow bar has been subjected to rigorous physical and computerized testing to ensure that it meets Roadmaster's exceptionally high standards. Throughout the design process, Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA) is done. Each of these tests display a 3-dimensional image of the tow bar while it is put under thousands of pounds of pressure. Areas of stress in the tow bar can then be located and studied so that those areas can be strengthened. This process is repeated until any weak spots, particularly those found in load-bearing components, are completely removed. The result is a durable, strong, and safe product.
Simple, Secure Storage
The Falcon All Terrain can easily be folded up and stored on the back of your RV when not in use.
After disconnecting the tow bar from your towed vehicle, collapse the arms and push them together so that they are side by side. Then fold the arms up toward the RV and the storage latch will automatically engage to hold the tow bar in place.
Guide to Flat Towing
Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.
There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.
The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar. Now a tow bar let's you tow your vehicle safely and securely behind your motor home. This one slides into a two inch by two inch trailer hitch receiver on the RV. It secures in place with the included 5/8 inch diameter pin and the included clip. The Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar features a weight capacity of 6,000 pounds, and it features the non-binding design. That's going to allow you to release your vehicle at anytime, any where.
Even on unleveled ground. That's one of the greatest advantages and features of the Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar.The unit features a large hook up radius which makes connecting a breeze at any angle. Even if your vehicle isn't perfectly lined up directly behind the RV. Or if your vehicle is on maybe uneven ground. The large hookup radius makes connecting quick and easy.
The unit also features a self-aligning design. All you have to do is hookup, drive you RV forward. The arms will then extend into rigid tow ready positions and automatically lock into place. The unit does feature the extra long telescoping arms that allow for better maneuvering and easier towing. Right now it's in a locked position.
When you're ready to unlock it or retract the arm back into this portion here, it's got the nice easy to use levers right here. That disengages it and allows it to go back into the retracted position.Now that bar, right here, this is stainless steel. The inner arms are made from stainless steel. It allows for nice, smooth, easy operation. You don't have to worry about binding.
You don't have to worry about rust or corrosion. The unit itself features a very strong corrosion resistant design. This tow bar is built to last. Has a really nice powder coated finishing on the unit. That's a high text powder coat finish that provides additional durability. Again, you don't have to worry about rust or corrosion. It's FEA tested which guarantees a strong finished product. The unit features self-lubricating nylon bushings that eliminate friction between the inner and outer arms for a longer lasting, better functioning system.One of the really neat features about the unit is sometimes with tow bars your cables get in the way. On each arm it has these tracks right here. These are called cable guides. These protect your wires and safety cables. Those items are sold separately. But it does protect those wires and cables from getting damaged or tangled. The unit also offers simple, secure storage along side the motor home. These arms come together and they fold up. Then this pivoting bolt right here engages this area right here. This is the built in storage latch. Then you can rotate it down to the side. Again, that offers a really nice storage option alongside the motor home.When you're ready to connect everything it offers fast, easy hookup and disconnect. I do want to point out that the EZ, EZ2, EZ4, Classic and XL base plates can use the included quick disconnect base which is included. This is the quick disconnect base system. It installs using the included brackets and hardware. MX, MS, and EZ5 base plates use the included pins and clips and not the included quick disconnect base system. This portion right here has these brackets on it. These brackets attach to the EZ, EZ2, EZ4, Classic and XL base plates. They provide that quick connect system. Because once these are installed all you have to do is take this bar, fits over here.You can actually leave the bar onto the base plate system. That way when you're ready to connect all you got to do is line the arms up into the brackets to secure with the included pins and clips. Like I said earlier the necessary hardware to get everything installed is included with the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar.The product is made in the USA. Has a really nice design. Looks really good. Again, when it comes to the compatibility it will work with all Roadmaster vehicle specific base plates. But this can also be adapted for use with Blue Ox base plates with the Roadmaster tow bar. The Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter part number RM-031. It's available and sold separately here at etrailer.com.Last thing I want to mention for you is simply the arm length. We took a measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole, to the center of the base pin holes when connected to a vehicle. Fully extended that measurements 52 inches. Fully retracted it's 39 inches. That's going to do it for today's look at the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar.
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (57 Customer Reviews)
The hassle-free latches on this hitch-mounted tow bar let you easily release your car, even at a hard angle or on unlevel ground. Stainless steel, telescoping arms and large hookup radius make connecting a snap. Easily folds up to store on your RV.I give the product a five star rating but the packaging for the hitch was poor. The hitch portion was punched through the box and hanging out about 6 inches (refer to pic) at least all the contents were enclosed. Good product at a fair price. 418110
Couldnt be happier, you get what you pay for and I must say its worth every bit.
I've had 3 different tow bars in the last 3 years. I'm finally happy! It's definitely worth it to pay extra for the "non-binding" feature. I never have to hammer the pins out with this tow bar. 472564
As you can see, I ordered the components necessary to allow me to flat tow my Jeep Grand Cherokee behind my motorhome. I followed the recommendations made by one of your employees as far which components would be necessary to meet my objective. Now that I have utilized this equipment to tow our vehicle over two separate trips to Seattle, Washington and also to Tucson, Arizona, I can report that we have been very satisfied with every aspect of our purchase. Thank you, again, for the expert assistance! 410725
We have towed our Jeep Grand Cherokee on two more vacations and have had absolutely no problems occur with any of this equipment. Quite satisfied with everything!
I had a roadmaster tow bar before and the car was ready to accept this tow bar, soothes was an extremely easy install. I found the website a bit difficult to use and called etrailer. The person who answered was very knowledgeable and pleasant and the transaction took only a few minutes. The parts were derived when they were suppose to be. A very good experience. I would use this site again. 248974
Seems to work pretty good. Only been able to use it twice. It came with two locks but no information on where to use the locks. Contacted the company about the locks. Their explanation wasn't very clear and they could provide no images of where the locks were to be used. Guess you have to guess! 28687
The locks are designed to replace the linchpins used to secure the quick-disconnect at the base plates. See the picture on part RM-302.
--This item is great, saved our Jeep. Had the hitch on with the Jeep and got rear ended. The hitch absorbed most of the hit and the Jeep was relatively unscathed. The hitch was bent like a pretzel but it still held together the Rv and the Jeep. The bar was bent beyond saving so I called Etrailer and they sent me a new one within two days so our vacation was not ruined. Thanks all and definitely recommend this hitch!! 154956
No problemos. 715431
Everything about this is super. I have about 5 cycles of hookup and drop, and each time has been very easy. The first hookup took less than 15 minutes for tow bar, wires, safety cables, and break way. After that, it takes about 5 minutes. 711942
Ordered my Towbar and received it in just 4 days. Product looks well built and was easily installed. I’m using this kit to move my Ford Ranger across country. Towbar goes on and removes quick and easily. etrailer was professional and understanding of my needs. Their staff was very courtious and have very good knowledge of their product. I Purchased the complete kit, including brake kit. I have not yet towed yet but I’m hooked up and all is working and ready to go. Will up date my experience and take some pics after my trip. 707552

excellent products that i had purchased from etrailer. i like the ease of operating the tow products and especially the great job that etrailer did in installing the tow products from the motorhome and to the tow vehicle . etrailer was very professional in everything that they did. 688609
Shipping and assembly went great Starting to rust already Sometimes very hard to unhook one side 681392
There are tips and instructions for care and cleaning of the tow bar on page 9 of the installation instructions. I have linked the instructions for your convenience.
--I was looking into to flat towing our Jeep Cherokee behind our RV. A friend had told me about etrailer. I have to say they do, and did have everything that I needed to make this project happen. The pricing, quality, quickness, and the shape of everything from shipping, was Great! Here is a picture after I got it was all hooked up. Thanks again etrailer Scott F. 680471
Awesome tow bar. Easy to use. 15K miles and going strong. 680311
Put about 9,000 miles using the tow bar. Somewhere in those miles the release mechanism failed. The manufacturer was good to work with sending replacement parts which were not difficult to install. 677394
As described, fair price, fast shipping, excellent customer service as usual. Very knowledgable. 671518
Very good service. William B was very helpful in getting me what I needed to hook up my GMC Terrain to my motorhome. Now, I have to install it all. Hopefully the installation instructions that William sent are as good as the rest of my ecperience with etrailer. 658745
The Roadmaster 522 (Falcon All-Terrain is an extremely well made product. The quality is appreciated placing in in my motorhome hitch and testing its function. I can not wait to start using it. Etrailer had competitive prices and very fast shipping. My order came in perfect new condition. 639354
Picked this for towing my 4 door jeep behind the motorhome. No issues at all, easy hook up and release. Solid product, towed for about 2000 miles so far and it's like new. 619956
We have towed our Jeep almost 2,000 miles since installing the recommended parts from etrailer and it has worked perfectly on every connect and disconnect along the way. Tows beautifully, even at 70 mph. Excellent customer service and helpful videos from these folks. Would recommend to anyone needing help with parts and guidance in towing their toad to give them a call. 616806
This tow bar is excellent. Very well built and easy to use. We were using a rigid tow bar previously so switching to one that is self adjusting made flat towing mush easier. 610330
I love working with etrailer. They always have the right product I need and I receive what I ordered on time. They sent everything I needed to tow my new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I will be using them again. 602520
Just arrived here. Opened the box and liked the obvious quality and substantial materials used. Plan to install next weekend. 600684
Great towbar,easy to hook up to towed vehicle,unhooking is a snap.you dont have to be perfect to hook up to your tow vehicle.well made. 600532
Great Product ! Great service ! 597427
The tow bar is just as described and etrailer’s customer service is 2nd to none. Let me give you an example. My tow bar came with one of the dime size nylon washers missing. I noticed it not in place will installing my tow defender. I emailed and within an hour a nice lady called me and said I would have the missing part before I left on my trip Saturday and this was Wednesday. Sure enough Friday morning the envelop arrived with the washer inside. Don't be fooled by all of the other companies; you want great products by great people this is the place to come. Also , I did not mention they send you a follow up note when your order arrives. Top notch service in anybody’s book. 569882
Easy install and it works exactly as advertised. I'm impressed. 566482
James was very knowledgeable and helpful. Package arrived extremely fast. Really appreciate James going above and beyond. 549146
made life hooking up so much better. no crawling under the car to hook up. 528219
Excellent products, shipped as promised and arrived on time. I have installed all the products. Although it took me longer then a professional installer, I had little to no issues. The online installation videos for all the parts (which were attached to the online order status sheet) made it extremely easy to install. The videos were of a professional actually installing the equipment step by step. etrailer.com has a customer for life. 508545
Thanks to all at etrailer who helped me with my order, you guys are fantastic, the entire operation is stellar. Enclosed are a couple of pics of my installation after my initial hookup. 500485
Very fast service. Items arrived in good shape, and before delivery date. I would recommend etrailer. 488364
Not to heavy, my wife can pick it up, which is awesome. 478831
The Falcon all terrain is the best tow bar out there. unhook in less than a minute, even if not on level ground. Rehook just as fast. accommodates quite a bit of height difference between receiver and car's base plate. Have not seen anything better. 476701
I've been very pleased with the Falcon tow bar. It was easy to setup and is easy to use. It handles my lifted Jeep Wrangler with ease, and has worked exactly as I expected it to. I use it with RM-035 D-Ring bumper adapters, and connecting the tow bar to my Jeep's bumper shackle mounts takes but a moment. It really couldn't be much easier to hook up and go. I also like the enclosed channels that manage the safety cables and light wiring, which makes for a very clean, un-cluttered towing setup. 475796
Easy to use with the EZ5 base plate. No crossbar needed. Does not bind, even when the car is not straight and level with the RV. Still looks almost new after 1 year of service. 454812
Fast shipping and good service defines this company. Free shipping and no tax make the purchases a really good deal. 453127
I think I made the right decision with this towbar very good product 451506
Tow bar was shipped as promised. Questions I asked were answered in a timely manner. Will definitely order from etrailer in the future. 429308
Cant beat roadmaster products including the customer service, very pleased with the towbar 428556
Roadmaster produces a quality product as well as standing behind them 100
No issues, work perfectly. 420481
Excellent product. One issue though, the sliders will pinch hands when retracted in the vertical position. Namely the telescopic arms retract quickly and if the web of your thumbindex finger are in the way, it will tear through the skin. Very painful. Needs re-design.
Very easy to use and stow 406567
Easily installed. Easy to connect and disconnect. Folds up and stores on RV while camping. 377189
What sold me before buying the EZ5 base plate and SMI supplemental braking system were the on line, step by step, video instructions. With little background experience I was confident that I could install these parts on my own on our 2016 Ford Focus. Also purchased the Falcon 2 tow bar and a wiring kit. Everything exceeded my expectations !! 362178
Easy to install for a person familiar with working with automotive tools. Using this tow bar is really great. No binding and no exact locating of the towed vehicle to hook it up. It folds up nicely without removing it from the motorhome. 338460
Great product. Little bit of difficulty attaching mounting brackets to 04 Tracker but not Roadmaster fault. Great looking unit and the all terrain feature is a real blessing. Priced right and delivery was as promised. 305638
Much better than our first one. Quick delivery. 303987
Still meets our needs. An improvement over the All Terrain II
This was part of many Roadmaster components I ordered from etrailer.com to set up my 2014 Honda CRV as a toad. Etrailer's website is excellent and their review videos and installation videos are very helpful. Their tech service department is excellent as well. I researched tow bars thoroughly before choosing the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain. Both Roadmaster and Blue Ox have excellent customer service departments and answered many questions before I decided to go with Roadmaster. The reason is simply my preference to have the extra stability of the cross bar and for future mounting of the Guardian rock shield. The Blue Ox tow bars are simpler because of no crossbar and that is nice and clean. But I like extra assurance and beefiness on the lateral torsion forces when towing. Just my preference. The Falcon unit is well made and heavy. The channels on the sides allow a neat installation of the wiring harness and safety cables. Pulls my Honda CRV with no noise and easy to hook and unhook. I would recommend this product to anyone. 234533
I really like the retractable arms on thi "all terrain" unit, makes installation & removal easy. The length and pivoting work great towing my 04 Honda CR-V, was able to follow fine when making as tight a turn as the RV could make. Also like the channels that keep the safety cables up. Shipping from eTrailer was fast and I recieved shipment notification and tracking numbers so I knew when to expect it. 223178
This is a replacement for a Falcon All Terrain that has served me well for the past 9 years but is simply worn out. I believe this tow bar to be the best available. 215757
