Designed for use with motor-home-mounted tow bars, the direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and remove, and they eliminate the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar. Installs on your vehicle's frame.
Features:
Note: Roadmaster direct-connect base plates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
The drawbars, or front arms, on this base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove each arm, simply tug the built-in pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the arm back and pull it out of the bracket. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

Installs on your vehicle's frame.The Base Plate Kit for the CR-V was easy to install and was a perfect fit. I am very happy with this purchased and recommend it to others.
Easy instructions to follow and all parts fit perfectly. Been towing behind our Motorhome for 1 year with no problems. The Roadmaster EZ5 is a great towing system. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your professional customer aervice
The boxes came late yesterday afternoon & haven't opened them yet. I'll probably install it next week. My wife uses the CRV almost daily to pick up granddaughters from school. She doesn't like driving my truck, it's too big. I'll look at the video again before I start. A friend has a lift & has offered to help. It'll be nice to have the car at chest level. It was a pleasure working with Vanessa through the ordering process.
I cannot fault this product with regard to materials and providing a complete installation kit. Everything is included (with the exception of RED LOCTITE which you definitely need), right down to the cable ties. The steel is a very heavy gauge...in fact, this should work as a much better "bumper" than what came off of the CR-V (which is just stamped steel). The nice powder coating should provide a long service life. The only issues I had were: One bolt hole did not line up. This was one of the smallest bolts that screws into existing threads. It wasn't even close enough to try to "fudge." All the others were fine. Second: The plastic fascia trimming instructions are not exactly correct. You will end up trimming a slightly larger area to clear the plate protrusions. And you will also need to trim around one of the small tubes that support the wiring connector plate - no big deal there. These comments relate to my 2009 CR-V.
Worked almost perfectly. Great installation video made it pretty straightforward. Love this along with my Nighthawk. Thanks etrailer!
Great product. I installed myself on my 2007 Honda CRV following the videos. It was very straight forward. Really made the summer trip to Yellowstone and Canada amazing having my CRV with us.......
Install on my 2007 Honda CRV. Moderately hard install. Works hreat
Love this Base Plate. Works fantastic!
Took a bit to wiggle it for the holes to align. IMO the hardest part (Other than aligning the holes and drilling the extra holes) was removing the plastic 'screw' pins and then replacing them.
I hope this works well once I am rolling.
Quality product. Solid construction. Getting the holes lined up was the hardest part of the install. I stripped a bolt which made the install longer because of a trip to the hardware store.
Great service and very fast delivery.My son installed the product on our Haonda with no problems . Looking forward to hitting the road towing our Honda . Thanks

It installed easily & we towed the CR-V just over 3K miles with no problems. A lift getting the front end chest high was a real plus.
