Necessities for Flat Towing
| For the RV | For the Towed Car | To Link the Towed Car and RV |
|---|---|---|
| Hitch | Base plates | Tow bar |
| Wiring plug | Braking system | Safety cables |
| Wiring kit/diodes | Wiring adapter cord |
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.

Video Transcript for Roadmaster Tow Bars - Hitch Mount Style - RM-522 Review
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.

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

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

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
Comments
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

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

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

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

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.

What sold me before buying the EZ5 base plate and SMI supplemental braking system were the on line, step by step, video instructions.

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

- If you are getting the manual transmission 2018 Chevy Spark, and it does not have the Active Air Shutters, then I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-523185-5. These base plates are confirmed to fit this vehicle and feature brackets that are virtually invisible, which allows for a clean look when you aren't towing.

- I will be happy to recommend the parts you will need to flat tow your 2016 Ford Fiesta behind your RV. The first item needed will be base plates. The base plates are what will mount to the Fiesta. They provide a safe attachment point for the tow bar. For these I recommend # RM-524438-4.
The tow bar is what connects the RV to the Fiesta. There are a lot of options but not to worry because I will recommend one that will work best with your Fiesta. Non-binding tow bars are the way to go...

- The Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519340 and Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521451-5 that fit your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk are extremely similar; even the manufacturers will tell you at this point that there is little difference between the base plate kits. The Roadmaster EZ5 does have fewer parts associated with it, as you can see by the linked install instructions, and Roadmaster has a long history of high-quality parts for flat towing which is why I recommend going with...

Its brackets are also virtually...

- The Roadmaster Falcon 2 all-terrain tow bar, part # RM-522 can use either base plate kit, the # RM-521571-5 direct connect or the # RM-521571-4 crossbar style base plate kits. You'd just remove the crossbar from the tow bar. Most folks find the direct connect simpler and quicker to use, but as you said, since you have the crossbar there's certainly no reason why you can't use it. It's pretty much a matter of personal preference.
Roadmaster does indeed recommend the # RM76512 to bypass...

- The Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 that you are currently using has arms that are fixed to the quick-disconnect system. Since the RoadMaster Tow Bar to Demco Base Plates Adapter # RM-034 connects to the arms individually you will need to upgrade your tow bar to a system like the Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 which allows you to take the quick-disconnect system off.

- Mopar wiring harness 68321424AB is used if you experience shaking or bouncing of the 2019 Jeep Cherokee when you are flat towing it. I am not sure what exactly it does or why using this harness solves those issues but that is its purpose. It has something to do with the steering wheel lock.

It starts off by stating that only the manual transmission models of the Honda Fit can be towed behind a motorhome with all four wheels on the ground. For extended towing (more than eight hours in one day) you will need to remove the 20 amp accessory power socket and 7.5 amp ACC fuses. These fuses are located in the interior fuse box.

view full answer... - How to Flat Tow 2019 Ram 1500 Limited 4x4 Behind Motorhome
- Yes, I pulled up the owners manual for your 2019 Ram 1500 and since it is a 4x4 it is flat towable. The procedure listed there says to put the transmission in PARK, put the transfer case in NEUTRAL, and tow only in the forward direction. The 2WD versions of your truck aren't flat towable in case you were wondering, but I digress.
So the first thing you'll want is a base plate kit confirmed to fit your truck. For that I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 kit part # RM-522203-5 which is a confirmed...

The automatic battery disconnect, # RM-766, is recommended to do this automatically so you won't have to spend time doing it manually. This disconnect has been used on the positive terminal with other vehicles and I see no reason why you couldn't do the same on your Edge.
If you need all of the other parts to flat tow your Edge then I recommend the following parts:
