Video Transcript for Roadmaster Straight Safety Cables Installation
Today we're going to be installing the Roadmaster 64" Single Hook Straight Safety Cables, part number RM-645. In conjunction with the safety cables, this vehicle also has the Roadmaster Easy Floor Baseplate Kit installed, part number 523173-4, as well as the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar, part number RM-522. We've already got everything else hooked up on our tow bar set up. All that's left to do is tie in our safety cables. We'll go ahead and take the end that has just the loop on it and we'll feed it through the slot here on the side of our falcon tow bar. Go ahead and take the end of our safety cable and we'll feed it through. We'll pull it out down on this end.
We'll go ahead and take one of the quick links that comes with the safety cables. Go ahead and feed it through the opening right here on the tow bar. We'll then attach the short safety cable that comes off the baseplate to the tow bar. Then we'll add in our new 64" safety cable. We'll then close the D-ring or the quick link up.
We'll then take our adjustable wrench here and we'll tighten it down. Then go ahead and repeat the same process over on the other side. Now all that's left to do is hook our ends with the hooks on them to the safety cable ring here on our hitch. You want to make sure that when you do that that you cross the safety cables, so you'll take the one from the passenger side and hook it over here on the driver side, like that. Then we'll repeat the same process for the other one. That will do it for our installation of the Roadmaster 64" Single Hook Safety Cables, part number RM-645.

Great product. I needed longer Saftety Cables after installing a swing away coupler on my boat trailer tongue. This worked out very well. Well designed and arrived on time .

Several of the tow bars do include safety cables, some do not. We will always state in the product description if they are included. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you to assist with the return.

This kit worked out great for my 2022 Chevy Equinox. I like how it has separate side plates, which make it easier to attach the main bar. The points where it attaches to the frame seem plenty secure. It is important to watch the videos provided by etrailer as Ryan is very thorough and has good tips for installing. I would also recommend installing additional wiring while having the front end off. Overall, I was able to complete in my driveway. The hardest part was sorting out the wiring for whatever braking and tail lights you decide on. William S helped me pick all the necessary components needed for flat towing behind my Jayco RV. I am looking forward to a summer of camping and having more freedom to explore the area, now having a car.

FIt my set up perfectly. Great price and great product.
by: Ray04/25/2023
Upgraded to a new tow vehicle and etrailer had all of the components that I needed. I was working with a short timeframe to get the new vehicle adapted before hitting the road for the summer. All parts were delivered promptly and with no damages or missing parts.

I have ordered several variations of RoadMaster towing accessories from etrailer over the years. etrailer is always helpful when I have a question, if they don't know the answer, they will send you where you can find the correct parts for your needs. That was the case with this order, my previous hook-up used the EZ hook safety cables. I bought a new Jeep to tow and the new base plate does not accept the EZ Hook Cables. After a conversation with etrailer customer service, they had me call RoadMaster for the solution RM-645 must be used. Ordered from etrailer and in just a few days the cables came in the mail. (I thought etrailer should have given free shipping, after all the products I have bought for over$100.00, but I guess not...) even with economy shipping, the cables arrived in short order. I am one of many satisfied etrailer customers, I'm sure.

Fast delivery, good quality safety cables, just what my Tow bar needed.. Greta customer service too
by: Peggy08/23/2019
Used these with the Raodmaster Blackhawk 2 Tow bar and the Direct connect base kit with removable arms. They were easy to run thru the channels on the tow bar and did not hang down excessively. Very easy to connect with the hooks on one end and the O rings on the other. Would recommend!

It's a safety cable.
by: Samuel08/13/2022
it works as it was designed....didn't lose my car or anything else...but the wiring for a trailer didn't have any wire in it so the lights and all would not work and you could not repair it for their were no wire inside the insulation...only problem that I have ever had with etrailer
by: Gerald11/15/2022
I’ve used the Custer light bar for about 8000 miles and it’s been perfect. Great battery life although I only drive during day. It fits perfect on my 2022 Spark and I didn’t need to cut the wiring.
by: Steve Sparky Mac02/21/2013
Excellent company to do business with. Best prices and quick delivery. I am a repeat customer and will continue to shop etrailer.com. I have saved money and time with every purchase. Shop around and you will find the selection and prices are the best. They also offer help, suggestions and direction for proper and safe use of all their products. They can't be beat.

After a year all is well. The safety cables show no sign of wear and have provided peace of mind for many, many miles.
by: Steve T.12/30/2015
This was part of many Roadmaster components I ordered from etrailer.com to set up my 2014 Honda CRV as a toad. Etrailer's website is excellent and their review videos and installation videos are very helpful. Their tech service department is excellent as well.
These safety cables are well made and fit well in the channels of the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain tow bar.
Note the etrailer video shows having to order extra rings to mount to the motorhome side. This is not necessary if you have a new Roadmaster baseplate with wide hole safety cabel attachment points. The looped ends and rings provided on the safety cab els should mount to the motorhome (and stay with the tow bar when disconnected and folded). The other end with the spring hinged hooks easily hook onto the baseplate with wide holes for the hooks.

Well made. Great fit and durability.

Worked just as it ought to.
by: BD10/03/2016
I ordered both the Front and Rear anti-sway bar upgrade kits. The install on my 2016 E450 was quite simple, and accomplished easily in my driveway. The kit for the front was a simple remove and replace the OEM bar. The rear kit required drilling two holes to accomodate new mounting points. Other than that, it was also simply a matter of removing a few bolts, and replacing the factory bar. Some minor nits associated with the kits. The washers included in the kit for the rear didn't fit the bolts, also included in the kit. And, the instructions for the front kit didn't include torque specs for the bolts. A quick trip to the local hardware store, and a call to Roadmaster tech support solved the respective problems. Oddly, the Roadmaster tech guy read me THEIR instruction over the phone, and they DID include the necessary specs. I've intalled these kits on two different motor homes now. They work GREAT, and I highly recommend them if you're towing and it feels like the vehicle has a bit more roll than you like. HOWEVER, I would note that the difficulty of installation can vary widely. If you're planning to install yourself, I highly recommend downloading the instructions in advance, and crawling under your vehicle to check on accessibility. For the E450 kit, you'll have to be able to get under there with a drill, and not drill through any cables/lines that may run along the frame rails. You'll also have to be able to get a (typically somewhat large) torque wrench up in there. My experience suggests this can be nearly impossible on some vehicles without access to a grease pit or lift. Good luck!

Both of the Roadmaster Base plate options will only fit if your Jeep Trailhawk does not have the active air shutters.
