Expert Reply:

In order to attach the Tow Ready Tow Bar, # 63180, to your Roadmaster base plates, you will need the Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Tow Bar Adapter, # RM-025. This will allow the two different parts to work together.

The Roadmaster Quick Disconnect Tow Bar Base Assembly, # 910021-00, is for Roadmaster tow bars so it should not be needed, just the adapter and tow bar listed above. I have included a link to the installation details for the tow bar for you.

Keep in mind that the Tow Ready tow bar is rated for towing speeds of 45 miles per hour or less.

A better tow bar option would be the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, # RM-020, which is designed for towing long distances and more frequently. With this tow bar you will need a set of Quick Disconnects, # RM-201, to easily connect and disconnect the tow bar from the base plates.

I have also added a link to our series of FAQ articles on flat towing. These articles covering everything from the basics to more in-depth wiring FAQs.
