Driving after dark shouldn’t mean guessing where your tow bar is. The Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain lights up its own arms with built-in LED strips powered through the included electrical cord. When you plug into your RV’s 7-way and switch on the taillights, the LEDs glow automatically. They make the whole towing setup visible to others and help you see what you’re doing when you arrive late to camp. It’s safety and convenience all in one—no separate switches or wiring needed.
Even when the ground isn’t level, connecting and disconnecting stays simple. The stainless-steel inner arms telescope from 40-1/2" to 52" so you can line up one side at a time. They self-align and lock automatically as you pull forward. When it’s time to unhook, just lift the non-binding levers to release any pressure. The rust-proof finish keeps the arms sliding smoothly year after year, no hammering or wrestling required.
Getting in and out of gas stations or tight campground lanes is easier when your tow bar gives you more room to maneuver. The Nighthawk’s extra-long arms provide a wider turning radius, helping your towed vehicle track cleanly behind without clipping corners or curbs. More clearance means less stress when navigating close quarters.
No more dragging or tangled cords. The built-in cable guides route the included power cord and safety cables right along the arms, keeping everything organized and off the pavement. Vinyl-coated cables resist corrosion, and spring-loaded latches keep the hooks secure. When you’re parked, everything stores together neatly on the back of the RV—ready for the next trip.
At only 35 lbs, this 8,000-lb-rated tow bar is easy to handle but built to take the miles. Its aircraft-grade aluminum body resists rust, and the black matte powder coat keeps it looking sharp while protecting against dings. Roadmaster’s Finite Elemental Analysis testing ensures every stress point is reinforced, so you can tow heavy loads with long-term confidence.
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.

Very satisfied with the Roadmaster Tow Bar with the Blue Ox adapter. Easy to install and have not had any issues with the tow bar binding when detaching the bar from my toad.

We have used the tow bar for a 3 month trip and 3,000 miles. It works great. I really like the lights in the bar. I would purchase again.

We are really pleased with our purchase of the Nighthawk All Terrain tow bar. After a full of year and about 8 thousand miles of towing our jeep with this tow bar its still like new. Again we would highly recommend buying one if you want a quality towbar.
