Roadmaster's two premium tow bars - the Nighthawk and the Sterling - provide the ultimate in quality, dependability, and ease of use. Aluminum is used where possible to keep their weight down, yet they can tow a maximum of 8,000 lbs. A long list of great features ensures that these tow bars are easy to hook up and unhook.
Base Plates: EZ, EZ2, EZ4, XL, MX, MS, EZ5, and Classic
High Capacity Roadmaster Tow Bars
The BlackHawk 2 is designed for heavy duty use. It can tow a maximum of 10,000 lbs, more than enough to handle heavy pickups and Hummers. And all of the extras that make a tow bar easy to use are included too.
Base Plates: EZ, EZ2, EZ4, XL, MX, MS, EZ5 and Classic
Value Roadmaster Tow Bars
With the Falcon and Stowmaster tow bars, Roadmaster produced the best values in flat towing around. They included many of the most sought after options but kept the price low. This combination of quality, ease of use, and price have made the Falcon Roadmaster's most popular tow bar.
The most economical of Roadmaster's tow bars may not have all the bells and whistles, but they are still made with the same quality and provide the same dependability as the more expensive models.
Freedom LatchThe Freedom Latch eliminates binding ("all terrain" denotes tow bars with the Freedom Latch).
Lets you disconnect your dinghy and tow bar the first time, every time, even when not parked on level ground
Releases tension in the telescoping arm with the pull of a lever (this is accomplished by allowing the locked, telescoping arms to be unlocked, allowing for more movement and extension of the arms for unhooking)
Storage LatchPatented storage latch allows the RV-mounted tow bar to be neatly stowed at the rear of the motor home.
Keeps tow bar up and out of the way
Automatically latches tow bar into place when folded up
Simply pull lever to release the tow bar
StowMaster car-mounted tow bars have an alternative storage option that mounts on the dinghy when not being used and folds in on the crossbar
Integrated Cable ChannelsCable channels are designed to protect your safety cables and wiring from dragging and road debris.
Each tow bar arm will have one channel through which wiring and safety cables can thread
See chart for list of tow bars that come with integrated cable channels
Sterling all-terrain model tow bars include safety cables and wiring with the integrated cable channel
Autolock ArmsTelescoping arms can be extended to varying lengths to make hooking up to base plates easier.
Dinghy does not have to be the perfect distance from the RV to attach the tow bar
Once the motor home and dinghy pull away in a straight line, the arms self-center and automatically lock into place
Quick DisconnectsMost Roadmaster tow bars require quick disconnects to attach to the tow bar.
Two plates that interlock, connecting the drawbar arm of the base plate and the crossbar of the towbar
The dinghy side of the quick disconnect is bolted to the base plate drawbar arms
The tow bar side of the quick disconnect is typically integrated into the crossbar
The base plate end and the tow bar end clasp together and are held in place using linch pin setup
Quick disconnects are included with most Roadmaster tow bars (except the Tracker)
CrossbarMost Roadmaster tow bars require quick disconnects to attach to the tow bar.
A crossbar can be the link between the tow bar arms and the base plates on the dinghy
The crossbars included with Roadmaster tow bars are designed to be used with quick disconnects
Crossbar is connected to the tow bar with pins and clips
Crossbar is connected to the vehicle base plates using quick disconnects and linch pins
Crossbars are not required for use with MX and MS base plates (vehicles that use MX or MS base plates have a stronger frame to support the weight of the vehicle while being towed)
StowMaster tow bars cannot be detached from the crossbar (StowMaster tow bars are not compatible with MX or MS base plates)
