Question:

I am a little confused about what adapters if any can be used to attach a Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar to this Base Plate. The Blue Ox adapter BX88178 is for the Roadmaster EZ brackets with a crossbar. This particular EZ bracket does not have a crossbar. The adapter BX88185 says it only works with the MX or MS series baseplates. Is there something available for me to use?

Expert Reply:

There is an adapter available to use your Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420 with the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-523184-5. What you will need to use is the Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster EZ5, MS, and MX Base Plates Adapter Brackets # BX88185.

I have added links to video reviews of the adapter for you to take a look at as well.
