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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 normally comes with the quick-disconnects needed to match up with the Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 154-2 that you're looking at for your 2002 Saturn SL2. If you don't have this piece then you can replace it with the Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00 for your tow bar and the base plate kit to be compatible with each other.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring,... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Stowmaster tow bar # RM-501 and other generations of the Stowmaster will fit the 1998 Saturn Wagon as long as it has the proper baseplates, # 52181-1.
[If you wanted to be able to easily switch from one vehicle to the other I recommend adding some vehicle side quick disconnects, # RM-222. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Thank you for your photo Jim. It does look like the inner arms of your Falcon 5250 got bent somehow. I contacted Roadmaster and there are not replacement inner arms available for the Falcon 5250 anymore or a repair kit because it's an older bar.
I recommend to replace the tow bar with a non-binding tow bar Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain part # RM-422 which will allow you to hook up and unhook on unlevel ground without the arms binding like the Falcon 5250 did. The freedom latch on... view full answer...
To flat tow your 2002 Saturn S Series behind your Jayco RV you'll need a tow bar, base plate, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you below:
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522. the non-binding design allows you to release your vehicle at any time, anywhere on even or unlevel ground and large hookup radius makes connecting a breeze at any angle, even if your vehicle isn't perfectly lined up with... view full answer...
If your 1999 Saturn SL2 came with factory LED tail lights, then we do have a wiring harness that will work, however, the Curt Wiring Harness, # C56175, is not the correct wiring harness for you. Instead, you will need a wiring harness with a powered converter box like the Curt Powered Wiring Harness, # C59496.
Vehicles that come with LED tail lights do not have enough power on the tail light circuits to power lights on a trailer. A wiring harness with a powered converter box is required... view full answer...
