We do indeed have the parts needed for you to flat tow your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock, which I'll go ahead and list out for you:

- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU74FR

- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420

- Wiring Kit: Demco 4-Diode Universal Towed Vehicle Wiring Kit # DM9523010-54

- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

I verified with Blue Ox for you that the base plates do fit your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock, and their removable arms allow your Ram to maintain a clean look when you aren't flat towing your truck. The Avail tow bar is the best option because its 10,000 lb capacity is needed for your heavier Warlock model, it has latches that allow for easy disconnect even when not perfectly lined up with your motorhome, and its long arms allow for better tracking and maneuverability when towing.

The Demco wiring kit is great because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your Ram's electrical system safe. And as for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is by far the best option, and the reason for that is it gives your Ram the same amount of braking power as your motorhome. This results in much smoother braking than most systems which send out a pre-set amount of braking power, giving you a more comfortable and easier-to-control ride when flat towing.

There is not, though there is likely an adapter you can use for your Roadmaster tow bar, depending on what model and serial number it is. - Roadmaster Falcon, Falcon All-Terrain, BlackHawk, BlackHawk All-Terrain (with serial numbers up to 16,500) and Sterling (with serial numbers up to 14,500) Tow Bars: Adapter # RM-031 - Roadmaster Nighthawk and Sterling (with serial numbers above 14,500) and BlackHawk All-Terrain (with serial numbers above 16,500) Tow Bars: Adapter # RM-031-5
