Built-in LED Light Strips
This is the coolest feature you didn't know you needed. These built-in LEDs don't just look dope - they're great for safety too, especially when you're driving at night. They light up the space between your RV and your toad (towed vehicle) and alert other drivers to the fact that you're towing a vehicle behind your RV. You definitely want to avoid an inattentive driver trying to merge right into the middle of your setup.
They also come in handy when you get to your campsite after dark and you want to unhook. These LEDs are more than bright enough for you to see what you're doing.
It's all extra snazz with no extra work. When you plug the power cord into your RV's 7-way to flat tow, the LEDs will have power. Turn on your RV's taillights and the LEDs come on too. Simple as that.
Smooth Hookup with Stainless Steel Arms
The Nighthawk is designed to make hooking up your toad a smooth and easy process. The telescoping arms are able to extend to the needed length and angle to reach the base plate without the need for your vehicle to be perfectly level or in the exact right spot behind your RV. The inner arms are stainless steel and will slide in and out smoothly. Supremely corrosion resistant, they'll stay rust-free and functional for the life of the tow bar.
Slide the tow bar into your hitch and pin it in place. Get the arms connected to the base plate one at a time. Once you're all hooked up, slowly pull forward and the self-aligning arms will fully extend and lock into the towing position. Double check that the arms are properly latched and you're ready to hit the road!
Extra-Long Arms Get You Around Tight Turns
The Nighthawk's arms are longer than average, giving you an above-average turning radius. You're going to be able to get around obstacles and make sharp turns with no worry of clipping the corner of your RV. Maneuver through gas stations and the campsite no problem.
Non-Binding for Easy Disconnect
Uneven ground and sharp angles can put the arms of the tow bar in a bind and make them stiff and immoveable. Once you get to your destination, the last thing you need is to spend several minutes wrestling, yanking, and kicking at them to get your car disconnected.
Instead, get out of a bind in one easy step. Simply pull up the lever on the arm of the Nighthawk to disengage the internal latch. This releases the pent-up pressure so you can unhook and get on with your adventure.
Built-In Cable Guides
The Nighthawk comes with cable guides built into the arms, keeping your setup streamlined and organized. The power cord will come pre-installed in the cable guide, protecting it from getting damaged or tangled. It's also a great way to keep all your gear together. You won't need to find a separate place to store your power cord; you can keep it right there where you need it, ready for the next time you flat tow.
You can thread the safety cables through the guides as well, which will likewise protect them from damage and make them easy to store.
Engineered for Excellence
The Nighthawk is engineered to be as tough and durable as possible. Throughout the design process, rigorous physical and computerized testing is done, including Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA). Each of these tests displays 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 product that is durable, strong, and safe.
Simple Storage: RV-Mounted Tow Bar
The Nighthawk folds up to conveniently store on the back of your RV when you're not using it. After disconnecting the tow bar from your toad, push the arms of the tow bar together so that they are side by side. Push the tow bar up until the holding latch clicks into place. The arms can then swing to the right or to the left, whichever side you want to store it on.
For added protection from the elements, slip the Roadmaster tow bar cover (RM-055-3 - sold separately) over the tow bar when you're not using it.
What You Need to Flat Tow
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.

When I called etrailer with my concerns about purchasing a tow bar to flat tow my Grand Cherokee. I did not have a brand in mind other that what I read about in magazines. I was helped in making a decision on purchasing a RoadMaster tow bar along with all the electrical wiring needed to do the job. Everything came as described and was told if I had any problems what so ever to call for help. None needed but was good to hear knowing i had back up. I have used this tow bar and hook ups for around 10 or so camping trips. Mostly from Maryland to Myrtle Beach SC. No problems what so ever. I highly recommend etrailer and the RoadMaster lighted tow bar, wiring and bracket for my Car.
by: Gene09/04/2023
This works great. I really appreciate the lights on the side when connecting the electrical plugs from the tow vehicle to the vehicle being towed. Saves some time verifying that there is a good connection between the 2 vehicles. Simply turn on the lights in the tow vehicle and check that the tow bar lights are lit. If not then you can see immediately if the 2 plugs are properly seated.

Missing hook for one of the safety cables. Neither etrailer or Roadmaster would get me a replacement

Product works great. Still never received a replacement. And customer service never reached out like you said they would above. So I would never use etrailer again.
by: Mark08/19/2022
The Nighthawk tow bar has been great. Easy installation of baseplate on grand Cherokee. Cool LED lights on tow bar arms. Release lever on arms for easy on and off hookup, no binding. Bars fold up and stow out of the way on the RV when not in use. Defender Rock Guard to keep anything from being thrown up on the jeep. Just got back from Canada last week and no tow dolly to deal with at the RV parks. Another great trip made even better with Nighthawk.
by: Abraham11/15/2023
The proportional breaking never worked right and on our last trip the system kept cutting out until it quit working all together. I was in the southern US and had to drive back to Canada without the aid of the breaking system. i tried to check it out and fix it but was unable to get continuous power to the brake buddy.
by: Sam J04/14/2022
I am very pleased with the operation and performance of this tow bar. It is easy enough to handle, the tension release levels work great, and the built in cable holders really make for a clean operating set up.
For our set up (2018 F-53 chassis pulling a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Sport), we needed a 2" drop hitch receiver.
For our configuration, the Nighthawk needed to be modified because it was pulling a vehicle with the Stealth Brakebuddy: The standard 6 pin connector does not work with Brakebuddy's proprietary connector - it must use the 7-pin to custom plug cable included with the Brake buddy. To provide power to the LED array on the tow bar, I replaced the coiled cable with a simple heavy duty 4-pin trailer wire plug and cable, and connected that to the 4/5-pin connector on the RV, and plugged the Brakebuddy cable into the RV's 7-pin connection.

The Roadmaster tow bar is fantastic. Super easy to connect, strong and durable. I love the LED lights on the tow bar. I would buy it again in a heartbeat and recommend it without hesitation.
by: Frank03/27/2022
I bought this tow bar to tow my 2018 Jeep GC behind my DP. It works as advertised. I is easy to hook and unhook event when not on level ground. Have had no issues with this choice for the first full year of use. Its a good solid performer.

Still happy with my Roadmaster tow bar and the company. I took a camping trip driving my DP with the Jeep in tow on some really tight narrow mountain switch backs and one of the ears on the jeep side of the tow bar. Roadmaster replaced it for free. No issues or problems. we towed about 5 to 6k miles last year.
by: Tim L07/24/2023
We love this towbar! Combined with the Roadmaster Direct-connect Baseplate, charge line kit, smart diodes lighting kit, and Demco Stay-in-Play supplimental braking system, we have a rock-solid setup for our 2023 Equinox LT (AWD). One person can connect or disconnect. Setup is easy and it stows-away nicely on the back of the RV when we're not connected. Make sure to get yourself a locking hitch pin for added security.
by: Robert09/07/2023
We have experienced wire failures in the harness and in connections. In fact we had to replace the connectors within 6 months. And have a inline splice installed in main wires
by: Rick06/09/2023
Very nice improvement from my old Roadmaster tow bar. Everything is so much smoother and easier to operate. Haven’t tried the lights yet but they will be handy to check towbar and unhook at night. It was missing one hook in the box. I got 3 quick connects and 1hook instead of 2 of each. I’m sure it will be as good if not better than my old Roadmaster which has served me well for over 10 years

Looks like a small error happened while packaging the tow bar. I will have will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
by: Pat 10/04/2023
Haven't used it yet, just installed. Very impressed so far. Easy to hook and unhook from TOAD. I really like how the light harness and safety cables route through the tow bar so I don't have to tie them up.
by: Vernon08/16/2023
2nd unit I purchased due a Walmart drive backing into me and destroying it the first one :( Works great, easy to hookup and love the LED lights that tell others that a car is in tow at night. Higher priced than other lesser tow bars, but well worth the $$

The Roadmaster Base Plate and All Terrain Direct Connect Tow Bar worked perfect for my 6-Speed Subaru CrossTrek. Looking forward to exploring and traveling later this spring.
by: Ben10/21/2019
Great product. Highly recommended. We are using this tow bar on a 2008 Chevy Tahoe. We love the side LED lights as well. All the cables are heavy duty and have not shown any signs of wear or tear after 1 year of use. Caution: make sure you check your package contents when you receive the tow bar. It was not packaged too well; there was no padding in the box, so the plastic wiring harness 7 pin socket got crushed during shipping.
by: James 08/16/2023
Really enjoying this tow bar assembly for my Jeep behind my Winnebago View RV. Covers all the bases as far as the safety and confidence of towing a vehicle.
by: Mike11/26/2018
Great towbar. This is my third Roadmaster towbar over the past 25+ years of RV'ing and towing Jeeps, all have been nice products. I have used this Roadmaster Nighthawk for the past year with approx. 6k miles towing our 2011 JKUR behind our 2003 Monaco Dynasty and so far I am very pleased with the purchase and product.
by: LDSTexas06/25/2023
Excellent Tow Bar! It came with everything needed to hook up and go! Includes the safety cables and the electrical cable is integrated in to the tow bar to power the tow bar LEDs when you have the coach tail lights on.
by: Steven 06/27/2023
We have been using our RM Nighthawk tow bar for about a year and have had zero issues with it. We are new to RVing and towing and wanted the best and simplest solutions. We try to avoid traveling at night but if we have to the Nighthawk lights adds that safety factor for the dark area between the end of the motorhome and the end of our Jeep Wrangler.
by: Walter12/01/2018
Great Product, 1 year in service, 20,000+ miles. Simple hookup and disconnect. Lighter weight makes handling it much easier. LED lights are a nice safety feature. Very happy with the tow bar and E Trailer.
by: Mark03/25/2020
RMR-676 was received quicker than expected, living in Alaska this was a great plus. Our product arrived missing some hardware. I contacted etrailer and the missing pieces were right away. Great service from etrailer and Roadmaster !!! Looking forward to snow melting and getting the motor home out for an actual road test!!!
by: Brian 04/02/2023
This tow bar working great. No problems,only fun crossing this country from Michigan to New Mexico. Though the mountains of North Carolina. And down to the Florida Keys. So easy to hook up, and unhook our Jeep. Coming from a tow dolly. What a difference. But the true thanks goes to etrailer for all the help on the phone on what I needed to flat tow. And the on line videos on wiring my Jeep,for the tail lights. The brackets for the tow bar to attach to my jeep. Able to do it all myself. And the people I talked to at etrailer were so helpful. They were there from start to finish on questions I had. And also the braking system I needed for the Jeep. It all works great. No worries just fun going down the road. I really needed you people at etrailer to get this all done.
by: John 08/10/2023
Great Towbar. Replaced 10 yar old Blackhawk2 AT, lighter and works with my crossbar vehicle mount. Professional service and fast shipping.
by: Tim in Minnesota03/31/2023
I paid a little extra for this towbar at the recommendation of others who have also used it. I also installed the etrailer hidden tow plates on my Jeep, which I love. I take my time hooking up my Jeep (not a good time to make a mistake) and it still only takes me 3-4 minutes. I highly recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk as well as the etrailer tow plates if you can get them for your towed vehicle.
by: Brad04/08/2020
Done deal, I think! Y'all are amazing. The tow bars arrived about 15 minutes ago! [Paula] Crystal and Tommy are 10 out of 10 in my book! It's hard to find good customer service these days, but it seems etrailer has great customer service dialed in. Thank you so much!

- Instructions for Flat Towing 2019 Ford F-250 4x4 I found a copy of the owners manual of your 2019 Ford F-250 and on 297 I was able to find the instructions for flat towing the 4WD models. Four-wheel Drive Vehicles Equipped with a Manual-shift Transfer Case 1. Put the transmission in neutral (N). 2. Put the transfer case in neutral (N). 3. Put the hub locks in the FREE position.

view full answer... - Why Do The Arms Of My Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar Keep Falling To The GroundThe Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676 has a Locking tab up top that prevents the arms from pivoting down fully to the ground. If you don't fold the arms up and get the locking tab nut in the hole in the locking tab and then fold the arms down to either side the pivot point will allow the arms to fall all the way down. Having played with this before I can say it is a bit of a pain to get he pivot point lined up exactly to the locking tab perfectly so you might...

- Can Automatic Transmission Vehicles be Flat TowedYou can flat tow vehicles with automatic transmissions with tow bars like the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676 that you referenced but not every vehicle has the same procedures and restrictions. I am not sure what vehicle you have but if you pull up the owners manual and look up the recreational towing section you'll find out all the info needed for your specific vehicle.
view full answer... - Does Roadmaster Nighthawk Come With 6-Pin Receptacle and Mounting Bracket?Yes, the Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow Bar # RM-676 does come with the 6-pin receptacle and mounting bracket; you can see this in the accompanying photo I've added which shows that particular part. This is a very unique tow bar that has wiring and safety cables included and has a self-aligning design which makes connecting and disconnecting a simple process. I've added links to a pair of video reviews on this tow bar for you to take a look at.

- Determining RV Towing Capacity for Flat Towing Ford Expedition with Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow BarYour 2015 Ford Expedition weighs about 5,600 to 5,800 pounds. The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676 (excellent choice) has a towing capacity of 8,000 pounds so it's more than up to the task. As far as the capacity of your Georgetown XL RV you will need to contact the RV manufacture. Most likely it has a higher capacity than this but I definitely recommend making sure. If you give them your VIN when calling they should be able to pull up specific specs such as its towing...
view full answer... - Dimension of RM-676 Nighthawk All Terrain Tilted For Storage ModeThe measurement you are asking for on the RM-676 Road Master Night Hawk Tow Bar with LED Lights, # RM-676 is 13". This is measured from the pivot point where the tow bar tilts 90 degrees for storage mode to the pin hole on the stinger portion.
view full answer... - Will Vehicle Track Mileage When Being Flat Towed It really depends on the vehicle you are flat towing using a tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 that you referenced as to whether or not the odometer will track the mileage. Late/current model vehicles typically have an electronic dash display that won't record miles when it's being flat towed since the key is usually in the off position. If your vehicle has a mechanical odometer though, then it's going to track mileage just as if it were being driven like normal. If this...
view full answer... - Do Safety Cables and Electrical Cord Need to be Ran Through the Roadmaster Nighthawk All TerrainThe electrical cord that comes with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 is already routed through the cable guide but the safety cables are not. This is because some people prefer the cables to be set up on their own. If you want the cables run through the guide it's actually pretty simple. On one end of the safety cables is a quick link that connects the hook to the actual cable. Just remove that and you can route the wiring through the tow bar. Attached is a review video for...

You have to use a silicone spray to lube your tow bar as other lubes like WD-40 will cause the internal bearings to swell or will collect dirt/debris that...
view full answer... - Connecting 7-Way Female Dinghy Tow Bar Wiring to 6-Way on Roadmaster Nighthawk Tow BarWith the caveat that we don't carry Mopar wiring and as such aren't familiar with it, there should be a way for you to do this. There isn't an adapter to connect the female 7-way on your Jeep to the female 6-round on the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676. So what you'll need to do is cut off the 7-way on the Jeep harness and wire in the 6-way male plug that came with the Nighthawk. That's the only solution for this due to the lack of an adapter for two female plugs.

- Is It Okay if Roadmaster NightHawk Tow Bar Light Strip is Partially Lit UpSo LED diodes do not take much amperage at all to activate. If there's any circuit bleed through on the circuit the LED will partially light up. This is why the lights of the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676 are activating partially. It won't harm anything for it to do this, but if you want it to go away easiest solution is to unplug the tow bar lighting.

The main difference between them is that the Nighthawk has longer arms for greater turning radius/clearance and it has a built-in LED light for easier hookup at night as well as providing more visibility of your setup. The Nighthawk is our favorite and the one we recommend most.

This tow bar has an 8k weight capacity and integrated LED lights that illuminate with your RV tail lights. I also highly recommend ensuring with the manufacturer that your Smittybilt XRC Gen...
view full answer... - Replacement 4-Way for Trailer that Has 8 Wires Ran to ConnectorIt really just depends on what the wires are for. Most likely you have several ground wires among the 8 as well as a couple running light circuits in there as well. You just have to run all of the wires to the correct circuits and if you have to run more than one trailer wire to a 4-way wire it will still work just fine. We have the part # 002402 which has two wires for the running light circuit. The rest of the circuits would just need to be ran together on the corresponding 4-way circuit.
view full answer... - How to Tow a Lifted Jeep Level Behind a MotorhomeYou will absolutely need to use a high-low adapter in order to bring the connection point of the towbar more parallel with the trailer hitch receiver. The recommended distance is +/- 3" but the closer you are the better the vehicle will tow. For this, I recommend using the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter part # RM-048-10 which offers up to a 10-1/4" rise/drop. Please note that the trailer hitch side is measured using the center of the receiver tube. I have attached a review video for you as well.

If you need a tow bar that is compatible with this base plate kit then I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-676 because it has integrated lights, wiring, and safety cables. In addition to the base plate kit and tow bar you will also need a supplemental braking system, wiring harness,...
