When your route takes you beyond smooth pavement, a standard coupler setup just can’t keep up. The 2-1/2" lunette ring on this tow bar pairs with a pintle hitch to give a wide range of motion both side-to-side and up-and-down. That freedom lets your towed vehicle move naturally over rutted paths and uneven ground without binding or stressing the connection. It’s a solid, 6,000-lb-capacity steel setup built to stay strong through off-road jolts and long-haul miles.
Lining up for hookup doesn’t always happen on level pavement, and this tow bar makes it easier. The telescoping arms extend from 33" to 40" and pivot smoothly thanks to stainless steel inner arms that resist corrosion and slide freely. They reach the pintle hitch even when alignment isn’t perfect, then automatically lock into towing position with the Autowlok system once you pull forward. When it’s time to disconnect, press the release buttons to unlock each arm and slide them back—no wrestling or extra tools needed unless you’re really in a bind.
When the trip’s over, there’s no need to lug heavy gear around. Quick-disconnect brackets let you mount or remove the tow bar in one piece, and when it stays on your vehicle, the arms fold neatly across the front for travel. A full-length crossbar with angle iron bracing keeps things rigid while you’re towing and provides a solid base for compatible Roadmaster accessories. It’s a tidy, secure way to stay ready for the next hookup without cluttering your garage.
Every part of this bar is built to handle real-world stress. Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA) testing identifies and reinforces high-load areas, resulting in a strong, durable design. Self-lubricating nylon bushings cut friction and wear inside the telescoping arms, while welded steel plugs keep dirt and moisture out. A powder-coat finish guards against rust, and a built-in safety strap inside each arm keeps the pieces connected even if a latch were ever to fail. It’s smart engineering focused on lasting reliability, mile after mile.
Flat towing can be a much more convenient way to take your car RVing with you than using a trailer or a tow dolly. It'll save you storage space both at home and at the campsite, and it takes less time and hassle to hook up.
To flat tow your vehicle, there are 5 basic components you're going to need: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a flat tow braking system.
| For the RV | Between the RV and Towed Car | For the Towed Car |
|---|---|---|
| Hitch | Tow bar | Base plate |
| Wiring plug | Safety cables | Braking system |
| Wiring adapter cord | Wiring kit/diodes |
The custom-fit base plate installs on the frame of your toad so you can connect the car to your RV with a tow bar. Hook up safety cables between the vehicles to ensure that the toad does not separate from the motorhome if the tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring syncs your vehicle's signal lights with your motorhome's tail lights, as required by law in most states. Finally, the flat tow braking system - also required in most states - activates the brakes in the toad when you hit the brakes in the RV, making for smoother, safer braking, and preventing wear on your motorhome.

Id like to see what I can recommend about the left side that is difficult to latch. Would you be able to send a picture of it? The spot that you are talking about specifically? Have you had a chance to clean and lubricate the tow bar?

The tow bar is wonderful. The only maintenance is some basic cleaning and lubricating the sliding arms. I love how easy it is to connect and disconnect.

The first few times I was nervous that I would mess something up on the tow vehicle or forget to hook something up. I have a printed list that I use every time I hook up or unhook my tow vehicle. We have over 2500 miles on this set up and had great luck until our return trip home this summer. One of the ring pins that holds the tow bar to the base plates came off and bent all kinds of things on the tow bar and base plate mounts. The only thing that kept the other side in place was the padlock I used as an theft deterrent. This happened about 400 miles into a 600 mile day luckily no one was hurt and things are replaceable. The first thing I did when getting replacement parts was throw away the retaining pins that come with the kit and put on padlocks on both sides. Everything is back up and running but I would not trust those pins in the future. Yes we checked the tow bar during the drive at food and gas stops. I wouldnt not recommend this set up but just be aware when something bad happens it is bad in a hurry. Roadmaster didnt really care when I called to talk about this and if they have seen this problem before. If you end up need replacement parts etrailer doesnt have much and you will need to go to Roadmaster.

The tow bar has worked well. The videos on the installation of the base plate were very helpful. There are a couple of different covers for the tow bars, so be sure to get the right one.

Only used it twice. It worked fine when I was towing a four door Jeep. Releasing the tow bar took some muscle.
Do you have a question about this Tow Bar?
