Question:

Will the EZ baseplate work with a Stowmaster 5000?

asked by: Jeff T

Expert Reply:

Yes, it will. The Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar item # RM-501 is compatible with the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit item # 52285-1. This baseplate kit is confirmed to fit the 2008 Smart fortwo.

Some other parts you will need to flat tow your Smart fortwo are listed below:

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267

Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot item # BLU37TR

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
