On a 2021 Canyon AT4 4 WD. Using a RM37VR base plate. Can a Falcon 5250 tow bar be mounted directly to the removable arms in the base plate without the use of a cross bar.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster # RM37VR is a direct connect base plate, it cannot be used with a crossbar. The ends of your older Falcon 5250 will pin directly to the removable arms of the # RM37VR baseplate.
In addition to the base plate and crossbar, you'll also need safety cables, a taillight wiring harness, a supplemental braking system, a battery disconnect and possibly a high/low adapter if the height difference between the installed base plates is 3 inches higher or lower than the receiver on the motorhome.
If you'd like some specific recommendations about the other parts you need, just let me know. I'd be happy to assist.
