Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, direct-connect brackets install onto your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for a motor-home-mounted tow bar. Front arms are easily removable when not in use.
Features:
Note: Direct-connect base plates will work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
Direct-connect brackets do not require a crossbar because of the heavy-duty nature of your vehicle's frame. Thus, installation is simplified, the hookup process is faster, and the total appearance is enhanced.
Note: The EZ Hook safety cables included with Roadmaster's Sterling tow bars will not work with direct-connect base plates. These cables connect to an anchor plate on the Quick Disconnect crossbar, which will not be present when you are using these base plates.
The drawbars, or front arms, on the direct-connect base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with pins. 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.

I installed the Roadmaster base plate kit myself on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. I have never installed one and I have basic mechanical skills. I have basic tools, but I did have to purchase a set of crow foot wrenches to reach one nut. It took some time for me to install it, but the instructions were easy to follow step by step. The kit appears to be built very strong. May be priced high for what it is, but what isn't anymore.
As far as etrailer goes, customer service was great. Quinn was informative and seemed to know the product. He followed up with me after the sale. I found a lower price after I ordered and the folks at etrailer gave me a credit on my credit card almost immediately when they verified the lower price. I can highly recommend them and I will always consider them in the future.

So far, good.
Very easy and straight forward mounting.
I ordered these for a customers Jeep . They fit with a little bit of tweaking, not sure if it was the brackets or the Jeep. I do a bit of street rod work so I'm used to making stuff fit. ETrailer is a great place to buy from however and they are the best when it comes to customer support!
Perfect product, easy to install and worked perfectly with towing our jeep behind our motorhome, thanks.

Still Pleased, works as it should.
Fairly easy to install, instructions were accurate. Looks great with removable arms on or off jeep. Have gotten quite a bit of questions about where we bought them or how installed them.
Works great, easy to install, etrailer is the best

yes they are great however I sold my jeep and now will have to put another set on the 2012 ford f150 I bought. I will also need an install kit for the invisbrake system but need to see exactly what I saved from the jeep kit that can be transferred to the truck. You guys are still the best internet company around and I will be ordering from you when I figure it out. Hope all is well with you and everybody at etrailer
Base plates met my expectations. Would purchase again if needed.
After buying a used class A motor home w/an Falcon II tow bar, this fit the bill for my 2008 Jeep Wrangler. It arrived quickly to my address and of good quality.
Base Plates arrived earlier than expected. Very pleased with the website and fulfillment response.
Etrailer gets a huge thumbs up for the speed and accuracy of this order. Ways to go etrailer! Great job.
Great people to deal with. Products and delivery were outstanding. Would definitely order with them again
Easy install.
it will do the job!
