Adapters to Use Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar with Blue Ox Base Plate Kit  

Updated 07/12/2017 | Published 07/11/2017



Question:

Can the roadmaster sterling tow bar be adapted to a blue ox base plate. If so what is the part number for the adapter? Looks to me like it depends on tow bar serial number.

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Roadmaster Sterling tow bar can be adapted to fit with Blue Ox base plate kits. The adapter needed does depend on the serial number of the Sterling.

If the tow bar's serial number is 16,500 or less use # RM-031. If the serial number is higher use # RM-031-5.
