Question:
I have a 2004 Honda Element what is the difference berween the 1541-1 and 1541-5 which one would you recommend I already own the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain tow bar system

Expert Reply:
The difference between the Roadmaster XL Base Plates # 1541-1 and the MX base plates # 1541-5 is tow bar compatibility. The XL plates are compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars while the MX plates work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon and Falcon 2. The MX base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
Your Falcon All Terrain tow bar # RM-522 will work with either base plate.
