Question:

We bought a used 2014 Honda CRV that has Roadmaster stowmaster 5000 tow system, we have blueox tow system. Is there blue ox tow pins to fit the Roadmaster base plate?

Expert Reply:

They do not make an adapter that will allow you to use a Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar part # RM-501 on a vehicle with a set of Blue Ox base plates. The Roadmaster tow bar to Blue Ox base plate adapters will only work for RV mounted tow bars and not vehicle mounted tow bars. The Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar is a vehicle mounted tow bar therefore will not work.

This means you can either purchase a new tow bar like the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar part # BX7322 or a new base plate kit like the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit part # RM-521567-4. These will be your only options.

I have attached an install video of the base plate kit for you as well.
