Question:
I have a Roadmaster Nighthawk towbar on my Motorhome. I am looking at the Roadmaster defender to protect the front of tow vehicle. I see a couple defenders, one is the RM-4750 and the other 4700. Nor sure which one I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Phillip, so to pick between the two tow defenders comes down to which style of Roadmaster base plate kit you have installed on your towed vehicle. If there's a crossbar between the arms of the tow bar then you need the part # RM-4700. If there is no crossbar then you'd instead want the part # RM-4750.
