  • Which Is Better, Ball Mount Or Receiver Tube Style Tow Bar
  • I recommend using a direct receiver type of tow bar over a ball mount tow bar when flat towing. You can experiene a lot of rattling with a ball mount style tow bar # RM-501 and would have to have the ball mount tow bar exactly level. With a receiver hitch style tow bar you'll have three inches of give either higher or lower from level, as you can see in the attached picture. With the receiver style tow bars, like the # RM-522 I recommended before for your 2002 Saturn, you can install the...

  • Replacement Tire Recommendation for a Pop Up Camper with 20.5/8-10 Size Tires
  • The best recommendation I can make for you would be to get a load range E tire like the Loadstar K399 Bias Trailer Tire # AM1HP56. This will fit your rim and will have the highest load rating we offer in that size. We do not have have taller tire that would fit your rim, but the # AM1HP56 should work very well for you. I attached a couple FAQ articles you might find informative also.

  • Can Reese Strait Line Weight Distribution System be Used on 6 inch Tall Trailer Frame
  • The Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution with Sway Control # RP66084 would fit on your trailer frame as long as it is less than 2-1/2 inches wide. However, because of the height of the trailer frame, I recommend using the Reese Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems # RP58305 in place of the hangers that come with the system. The hangers # RP58305 will bolt onto the trailer frame and can be placed at an appropriate height for the load bar arms. These hangers will also ensure...

  • Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for a 2002 Saturn S-Series
  • A much easier solution that would give you a permanent flat tow lighting solution for your 2002 Saturn S Series would be to install a bulb and socket kit like part # RM-155. Basically with this kit you would install an additional bulb in the current taillight housing of your vehicle which the tow bar wiring will control. I attached an install video for this product for you to check out. Or if you really wanted to make a taillight kit with LED light bars you would want the part # STL79RB...

  • Will the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 162-3 Fit on a 2000 Saturn SL
  • We do offer a Roadmaster XL base plate kit for your 2000 Saturn SL, but the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 162-3, will not fit your vehicle. This kit is designed to fit 1996 to 1999 model years only. I verified with my contact at Roadmaster that there were a few slight frame and fascia changes from the 1999 year model SL to the 2000 year model SL which is why they had to manufacture a different XL base plate kit for the later model SLs. We cannot recommend modifying a base plate kit to...

  • What Do I Need to Change My Tow Vehicle From a 1999 Saturn SC1 to a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero
  • If the 162-1 Roadmaster base plate kit you are currently using is an XL kit, which I believe it is, then all you will need to set up your 2001 Oldsmobile Alero is a Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part number 194-3. If you need wiring for the Alero you can choose either, part number 38955, tail light isolating kit which will wire to the vehicles tail lights, and you will need a converter # 118158 since your Alero has separate turn and brake lights or you can use the, part number RM-155,...

  • Recommended Flat Tow Equipment for a 2002 Saturn SC2
  • You will need to get a completely new tow bar if you're wanting to install a custom base plate kit on your 2002 Saturn SC2. The Curt Tow Bar # C19745 that you have is designed to be connected to your vehicle using the universal brackets that come with the tow bar and the tow bar isn't compatible with anything else. I recommend going with the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52181-1 and pairing it with the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 which connects to the motorhome using a coupler...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Saturn S Series SL1 Sedan
  • To use the Roadmaster base plate to Blue Ox/Demco tow bar adapter, # RM-033, you will need to install Roadmaster base plates like # 162-2. Then, to make the arms of the base plates removable, you will also need quick disconnects # RM-201. If you have a Blue Ox Adventurer, Acclaim, Ambassador, Aventa, Aladdin, Alpha or Allure tow bar, you could just use Blue Ox base plates, # BX3310, and not worry about an adapter. With the base plates and tow bar out of the way you will also need safety...

  • How to Correct Base Plate Drawbar That is Difficult to Remove from Base Plate on 1996 Saturn SL2
  • Removable arm-type base plate drawbars for your 1996 Saturn SL2, such as those in the Roadmaster # 52181-1 and the Blue Ox # BX3310 that are shown on the link at right, should not be too difficult to remove. I am concerned that the difficulty you are having removing the one drawbar could be a result of an impact or other damage. Has this system been in use for some time or is it new? If it is a new system then I urge you to take it to the place of purchase for inspection. If its been...

  • Base Plates, Tow Bar and Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 1998 Saturn SL2 Behind Motorhome
  • Both Blue Ox and Roadmaster make base plates for your vehicle that feature removable base plates. On your particular vehicle, the Blue Ox # BX3310 would be easier to install and the draw bars are easier to remove. The Blue Ox Alpha tow bar, part # BX7380 would be a good choice for a tow bar, and it includes the safety cables. The towbar features automatically locking arms that allow you to attach the tow bar to the base plates even when the vehicle isn't perfectly lined up behind the motorhome. For...
