Flat Towing Behind Your Motorhome

We recommend Roadmaster base plates:

• Superior building and testing on every component.
• Direct-connect base plate options to give a more hidden look.
• Bolt on installation which is a superior method compared to other weld-on styles.

We recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain tow bar: 

• Quality construction, rust proof, light weight aluminum frame.
• Channels to hold wiring and safety cables up to prevent them from dragging.
• Non-binding arms to make connect & disconnect at almost any angle or height simple.
• Self-lubricating nylon bushings on the actuating arms.
• LED lights on the channels provide extra visibility at night.
• Can be folded up and stored in the hitch of your RV. It will latch in place.

Other tow bars by Roadmaster will work with your Roadmaster base plates, but the Nighthawk is a user-friendly and high-quality product.
