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...
The custom-fit base plates for your 2002 Saturn SC1 3-door coupe is part number 52181-1. I have included a link below to that product. view full answer...
I contacted the manufacturer to find out the load range for this product, part # RM-910022. It is specified for a 2000 pound snap rating.
Please note that cable connectors of this type are designed and rated specifically for a horizontal line pull application (but not for hoisting or lifting). The capacities quoted by manufacturers are for this type of application only.
I suggest you consider Hidden Hitch part # C82932, which also comes as a set of two. These half-inch Quick Links have... view full answer...
Thank you for the photo of your base plate attachment! Based on the photo and my contact at Roadmaster, we were able to determine that the base plate on your 1999 Saturn SL2 is the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52181-1.
To replace the tow bar arms on your base plate, you will want to use the Roadmaster Replacement Arms # RM-ARMS. In order to further ensure that the replacement arms will fit your base plates, you will need to fill out the form in the instruction link for # RM-ARMS. This... view full answer...
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,... view full answer...
First, while you might not be able to find a digital copy of the manual you can find paper copies out there. One thing you might try is to find someone near you selling the same car and go look at their manual for the flat towing procedures.
From what I could find you can flat tow your 2001 Saturn SC1. It is not recommended to tow it over 65 miles per hour. Additional information is available once you locate an owner's manual.
To flat tow the vehicle there are 5 main parts you will need:... view full answer...
A transmission cooler will absolutely help you with the amount of driving you do to help prolong your transmission. The stop and start traffic won't help cool down your system, so I recommend you use the Derale Dyno-Cool Remote Cooler with Fan and Hose Barb Inlets - Class II # D12740 so you will have a fan to keep air moving even if you are at a stop.
I recommend using the Derale Dual Hose Transmission Cooler Installation Kit # D13064. I've attached the installation details to assist. 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...
The most economically-priced base plate that is compatible with your Saturn SC-1 would be the Roadmaster # 154-1. The Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar you mentioned would be the most affordable option. However, never forget that you get what you pay for. Other higher-priced Base Plate and Tow Bar options would be easier and more convenient to use. For instance, the Roadmaster Falcon 2 towbar, part # RM-520 is telescoping, which means that the dinghy does not need to be perfectly aligned behind... view full answer...
To replace what you have with a powered awning you'd need to go with a universal Solera manual awning to power awning part # LC434730. The kit you referenced only works for replacing Solera setups. view full answer...
The installation of the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, item # 52181-1, on the Saturn Sc1 is fairly easy compared to some vehicles. I would allow a full afternoon for the installation and Roadmaster recommends at least 3-1/2 hours for installation time.
Some of the things that need to be done that may not be expected are, the front fascia, headlights and bumper core will have to be removed to gain access to the frame and bumper mounting area, before starting the installation. Also you will... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
To use your RangeFinder II tow bar to flat tow your 2000 Saturn SL 1 you will need to use the Roadmaster Bracket Adapter # RM-037 with a Roadmaster base plate kit. The Roadmaster base plate kits that will fit the Saturn are # 154-2, # 52181-1, and # 162-2. All three work with the bracket adapters.
To fat tow the Saturn you'll also need wiring, safety cables, a braking system, and likely a high-low adapter.
For the safety cable use # RM-643. The coiled design is great to keep them from... 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...
Yes, there is replacement hardware available for your Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24620. It is the Replacement Hardware Kit, part # RHK. When you get to that product page there will be three boxes in the middle of the page. One is for the hitch item number, in your case it would be 24620. The next box is for the manufacturer, in your case it would be Draw-Tite. The last box is the quantity. 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...
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...
I may have a solution for you, however we do not currently have a 3,500 pound standard trailer axle that matches the dimensions for the model that you referenced.
I recommend looking into an Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System like the Timbren # ASR3500S06. This system will provide a smooth, quiet, safe ride and can eliminate the need for an axle. This will provide a 3,500 pound weight capacity along with a 4 inch lift to provide greater ground clearance. The EZ Lube spindles will accept... view full answer...
