Question:

I have a RoadMaster, Sterling, All Terrain tow bar RM-576 and I have a Blue Ox, BX110 Base Plate. What addapter do you suggest? I thought the RoadMaster RM-031-5 would work because I need the plastic end over the tow shaft to the adapter. Love the site and Thank you.

Expert Reply:

To connect a Roadmaster Sterling All-Terrain tow bar # RM-576 to a set of Blue Ox # BX1110 base plates you are correct that you will need RoadMaster Sterling Tow Bars to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter # RM-031-5. This kit will work as long as your tow bar serial number is above 14,501.

The tow bar and base plates are just two of the components needed for safe and legal flat towing. The linked article covers these and the other items required, which include a wiring/lighting solution and a supplementary braking system like the wireless and portable Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.
