Roadmaster Base Plates - 1528-3

  • Removable Drawbars
  • Roadmaster
  • Hitch Pin Attachment

The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
    • Improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Compatible with Roadmaster tow bars with use of quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 - sold separately)
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch 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.

customer service was very helpful and i received the product several days after ordered. i would highly recommend

This fit my 2000 Honda CRV. It was easy to install and worked as it’s designed.



by:
1999 Honda CR-V

Installed on 1998 Honda CR-V. Excellent instructions and online video. NO cutting or modification was required to vehicle (some CR-V models have additional plastic trim). The adapter kit fit PERFECTLY per instructions. Total install time was ONE HOUR. Please note the instructions require Locktite RED for the bolts which should be acquired before starting the project. You will need metric tools for the Honda bolts and standard US tools, including torque wrench, for the adapter kit. The kit is EXCELLENT quality. Etrailer provides OUTSTANDING customer service from the pre-sale process to post-install. THANK YOU! A special THANK YOU goes to my customer support and shipping reps!

etrailer service is and has always been stellar. My order was correct and was delivered very quickly. The only reason I made this a four instead of a five was that the rear bolt position of both base plate brackets where welded on crooked. Each small plate was at a different angle from each other. In my opinion whoever welded them wasn’t paying attention to quality control. Because I was on a time crunch for my departure on a trip and could not wait for replacements (and I needed the vehicle for local driving) I made the brackets work. Other than that the installation went smoothly and I was able to test tow my 2004 CRV a couple of times without incident.



by:

Very impressed that they're the exact fabbed fit, and easy to install! These tow base plates are super sturdy!



by:

Item arrived earlier than predicted after viewing a very complete tracking system. The information was very clear and precise. Good job! I am 75 years of age and installed the baseplate myself. Only a couple of minor issues. One pin would not insert. Welding blob in the way. Filed it smooth and problem solved. The video was excellent but was a bit different in that it showed a different method o rear bolt installation, however the instructions on paper showed the correct way. Reinstalling the front clip had presented some difficulty. I suggest really watching the inner fender position relative to the front clip before removal. All said all went well. The finished look is great, (see pictures). Great product!

  • Recommended Items Needed To Flat-Tow 2000 Honda CR-V
    The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 1528-3 is a great fit for your 2000 CR-V. This kit has removable arms when you are not towing. For a tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520. This tow bar folds up against the back of your truck when you are not towing. For lighting I recommend the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, part # RM-155. This kit includes the bulbs and does not require tapping into the vehicle wiring.

  • What are the Two Smaller Holes for on the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 1528-3
    The smaller holes on the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1528-3 are there to padlock the arms to prevent theft. If you need a padlock, I recommend the Master Lock Covered Solid Body Padlocks - 1/4" Shackle Diameter (2 Pack) # 141T. I recommend this lock set because it has the vinyl covering that will protect it under your vehicle.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1999 Honda CR-V
    A transmission cooler like Derale # D12903 is intended for a vehicle that is doing the work of towing a trailer rather than for a vehicle that is being flat towed. Your 1999 Honda CR-V can be flat towed with all wheels on the ground whether it is has a 5-speed manual transmission or an automatic transmission. The flat towing preparation procedure is slightly different for each type of transmission but in both cases you'll want to ensure the transmission fluid level is full and that you...

This kit mounts to the vehicle frame and may require some trimming of the fascia or air dam for installation. Along with the base plate kit you will need a tow bar and wiring for the towed vehicles taillights. With the XL base plate kit you can use any of the Roadmaster tow bars.

  • Can 2001 Honda CR-V be Flat Towed Behind Motorhome
    Yes the 2001 Honda CR-V with an automatic transmission can be flat towed. First thing you'd need is a base plate kit like the part # 1528-3 to provide the connection point for a tow bar. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For...

  • How to Attach a Tow Bar to the Roadmaster # 1528-1 Base Plate on 1998 Honda CRV
    The method of connection will depend on which manufacturers tow bar you are using. Some vehicles use a base plate kit that features removable draw bars, which might be what you have (see photo). The type of base plate for the 1998 CRV uses standard base plates, which are not removable. There is also a base plate kit, # 1528-3 that would allow the draw bars to be removed. For a Roadmaster tow bar, you would use a set of quick disconnects, part # RM-201. One half of the disconnect would...

    I am a little confused because you entered 2011 Honda CR-V for vehicle information and typed it in the title field but the question is on a 1999 Honda CR-V. If you have a 1999 then base plates # RM-521559-4 will not fit. You need # 1528-3. For either set of base plates they are compatible with the Stowmaster tow bar you have.

You will also need safety cables which are not included with the tow bar, like part # RM-645. The Falcon 2 actually has guides built into it to keep the cables from being tangled or damaged. You will also need a wiring solution so that the tail lights on the CRV work in tandem with those of the RV. The Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit, part # RM-155 is an easy to use and install...
