For replacement Roadmaster EZ Hook Safety Cables that come with the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576 we have part # RM-655-64 for just 64" cables or part # RM-655 which comes with the 64" cables and the anchors should you need them.

For a Base Plate Kit that is compatible with both your 2015 Ford F-150 and your Sterling Tow Bar you will want to use the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-524431-4.

Since the Sterling Tow Bar already comes with the wiring adapter from your motorhome to a 6-Way you will need to install the RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector # RM-910030-7 as well as the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152 for a complete wiring setup.

Most states now require the use of a Supplemental Braking System for a flat towing setup. For that I recommend using the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 which is one of the most popular systems that we have to offer. This is due to how easy it is to activate once it is installed and the fact that you don't even realize it is there when you are using your vehicle when you are not flat towing. You will also need to install the Relay Kit # RM-88400.

You will also likely need a High-Low Adapter to ensure that your flat towing setup is level and safe. I have attached a link to our selection of adapters as well as a helpful article to help you choose the correct one for your setup.

I have attached some installation videos that you can also reference to get everything setup on your F-150.
