Replacement Cable For Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar  

Updated 07/06/2017 | Published 07/05/2017

Question:

How long is the road master cable #650816-7? I need 68 inches.

Expert Reply:

The RoadMaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7 can expand to over 8 feet. It keeps coiled shorter for compact storage and to keep from dragging while in use. If you are looking to run the cable through a tow bar channel, I recommend the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord Kit - 6-1/2" Long # RM-98146-7 which is 78 inches long but can be trimmed to length.
