Hey Ray,

The etrailer baseplates # e98965 do not work directly with that Roadmaster Nighthawk. However, there is an adapter we have available for them to work seamlessly. You will want to pair that baseplate with the Roadmaster adapter # e98984. That is going to allow you to use that tow bar with no issues with the base plate.

What kind of coach are you pulling your vehicle with?

Hey Andy, do you have a circuit tester like the part #PTW2993? You could probe the wire of the Demco Charge Line Kit part #DM66VR and see if there is voltage present. If so, then it's charging like it should be.
