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.Great product. it is the second one I had ordered and both were easily installed with the instructions and the video link. Great service the these folks!
Product arrived very fast. Packaged well. I installed it as per instructions . Watching a video was a great h Ed lp after reading the instructions. Everything installed as expected. Took about 3 hours. I did drop a nut a nd could not find it so had my buddy run to hardware store to buy a 1/2 " nut and lock washer. I did not have access To a lift, So running the car up on blocks 4"high helped access The underside of the cowling. It was a challenge to get my fat finger holding a nut and washer into 2 tight spots but that is what I expect doing this type of installation.
Does what it is intended to do. Took a little time to install but it came with all the instructions I required, and it all looks and works great!
I installed baseplates in about 7 hours. Would have been a lot quicker but my tools are about 700 feet across the road in my shop. Easy install just as the directions said. I am completely satisfied. By the way I put them on a 2016 Equinox LTZ.

I have been very happy with the Roadmaster Base Plate. We have towed our 2017 Equinox about 5000 miles and havent had any problems. The base plate is nearly hidden when not in use and very easy to hook up when towing, I will definitely use your service and products again.
I purchased both wiring and base plate of tow bar of my Equinox and it fit beautiful. I then purchased a trailer hitch and was pleased by all.
This base plate is the third Road master base plate product that we have purchased and love them , easy install and built solid. We trust Road master products.
Every thing that I bought fit and worked very well except the seat bracket. All I did was redrill the hole and every thing was fine. Thanks
easy to install

the base plate install video was great little bit of work to install but glad I did cant trust some of these people doing work cut corners I feel confident its done right
Very good service. William B was very helpful in getting me what I needed to hook up my GMC Terrain to my motorhome. Now, I have to install it all. Hopefully the installation instructions that William sent are as good as the rest of my ecperience with etrailer.
I completed the installation within three hours and I'm ready to travel. Thank you Roadmaster
Thorough installation instructions.
I forgot to take pictures when I was installing it,but everything fit perfect.The directions were precise.I have bought other things from etrailer and I highly recommend them.
We have been towing a 2016 Chevy Equinox flat for over 6000 miles in the last year and have had NO problems. We would highly recommend this company and their products.
