I had to convert from Roadmaster to Blue Ox. The part was exact. Delivered on time. You guys have done a lot of planning with carriers. Now I can tow my car with my RV. Thank you.



by:

Very easy to install and looks great after installation



by:

Now both my 2018 Jeep Cherokee and my Miata are set up to tow. etrailer has been sup in answering any questions I had to make sure I got the correct parts. Kevin D worked with me and was great. Everything is installed and ready for my next trip. The web site is super-easy to find what you need and the prices are great, with very fast shipping.



by:

Super fast delivery of needed parts. Thanks for all your help.



by:

Product looks robust, easy to install. One thing, cannot remove arms with adapter attached. Have to uninstall so arms are loose. This does not allow thread locker. probably the quick unit, (more money), would be more practical. Will work around it.



by:

Shipping was fast. Only problem was some paint flaked off of the base plate before being installed. It's going to get dinged anyway so, touch up paint is expected.



by:

I've purchased from etrailer for many years. They are always great and this was no exception. After a little confusion with one rep I worked with another and have just received all I need for a new flat-tow package for my RV/Jeep. Meghan was able to help me figure out how to use my existing tow bar with an adapter, which saved me a good bit. I highly recommend etrailer!!!!

I work for a Drive-Away service and do a lot of towing behind a varied assortment of tow vehicles..The items mentioned in this Email have been performing flawlessly since I purchased them. When several of us go on a big job, I am hooked up and ready to roll while they are still struggling with magnetic lights etc. The job is so much simpler when it is done right.



by:

looks like it will bolt right quite sim ply



by:

This adapter bar matches perfect from the Roadmaster tow brackets to the Blue Ox tow bar from the RV. I use this adapter on two different vehicle makes we flat tow.



by:

I had Blue Ox tow system bought a vehicle that had Roadmaster plates bought a Roadmaster adapter to my Blue Ox tow bar to make it work on the vehicle everything worked out perfect as a matter of fact the sales agent had sold me a part that I did not need I was able to call and send it back for a full refund on that part that was not necessary very grateful very easy to do business with prompt on time and save me a lot of money from having to exchange everything over from Blue Ox to Roadmaster very satisfied customer



by:

I am preparing to tow my 1993 Miata behind a motorhome. After some research I decided to rely on Roadmaster products because they manufactured base plates for the Miata. Initially I purchased a Roadmaster Tracker bar that uses a 2 inch ball to connect. Later I encountered a Blux Ox Aventa on Craigslist that I felt would be better because it has a receiver connection that cannot work lose on rough roads. To make that work I had to purchase the RM-033 adapter bar.

In retrospect I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon tow bar to avoid about $100 of adapters that I needed to make my current system operate. My first towing experience so lots of rookie errors at my expense. BTW, even with my very light Miata, using the Roadmaster LX base plates, the Falcon tow bar, safety cables and tow lights, the setup costs about $1000 and some states require a supplementary brake system that is really pricy. Love my 1993 Miata, which is probably now worth about a $1000, so I hope it appreciates all I am doing to tow it along on my trips.

E-trailer has provided excellent service for this and an earlier order for the Tracker tow bar. With the free shipping, the pricing is very fair.



by:

Adam and the folks at etrailer were excellent. The fast shipping was notable; which I believe that Adam made it happen, (he is a professional, indeed). Thanks alot

Just fine. I installed it and forgot it. However I do recommend using the same brand Roadmaster tow bar with this base plate not the Blue Ox tow bar! Believe it or not + I have found a flaw with the Blue Ox.



by:

Instructions were very good for the installation on my 2010 Honda CRV for both the baseplate and the blue ox adapter. Fit and finish were good. Product arrived as promised. Minimal tools were needed, but installation with the vehicle on the garage concrete floor was probably a little more tedious than that on a lift. I would say that you do need some mechanical talents to do this on your own. It was worth the monetary savings for me to install these products.



by:

well constructed . very pleased with this product. as always e-trailer #1



by:

Ordered additional items for tow bar mounts. Carmel was very helpful. I couldn't figure out which items I need to go from Roadmaster to Blue Ox. She give me the part numbers after searching their data base and ordered what I needed. Order was sent right out and I received the items three days later.



by:

Cathy was very helpful in finding the best product for my need. She took the time to go through all the possible tow bar adapters and find the one that worked best to tow my custom steel bumper Suzuki with the Dominator tow bar. I also saved 50% off the cost from the OEM price! I will definitely use etrailer again!



by:

This adapter fit my blue ox tow bar perfectly. I don't know about it's overall performance strength wise until I put a few thousand miles on it.



by:

super easy to change from road master to blue ox bolted right on worked great



by:

Excellent service, communication shipping, and fit to my application on my 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon. Roadster base plate to a Demco towbar.



by:

Well built and fits perfectly. Quality product I expect to last a long time.



by:

Very pleased with the service provided. Nicole researched the part for me and it fits perfectly. Took me about 15 min to install correctly. Thanks for the professional experience.



by:

So easy to put on.
It took longer to
open the box.
Less than 10 min to install.
Kelly was helpful on phone and had product shipped same day.

Every part from those E trailer folks is perfect

  • Can a Blue Ox Tow Bar Be Used With a Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit
    Yes, you can use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 522013-1A with a Blue Ox Tow Bar like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380 for example but you will need an adapter for this, the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox Tow Bars Adapter part # RM-033.

  • Can Blue Ox Aventa LV Tow Bar be Used With 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible & Roadmaster Base Plates
    Yes you can use your Blue Ox Aventa LX tow bar BX7445 to flat tow your 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible. I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1312, however - so long as your Mini does NOT have the R57 LCI with 1.6 engine - you can use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521882-4. The adapter you need to use your tow bar with this kit is the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter # RM-033. The wiring kit you need for your 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible...

  • Adapter for Flat Towing 2002 Dodge Dakota w/Roadmaster XL Base Plates and Demco Aluminator Tow Bar
    You will actually need the Roadmaster base plate to Demco tow bar adapter # RM-032. The adapter # RM-033 does not come with the quick disconnects and # RM-034 is if you had Demco base plates. So the one that you need is # RM-032.

  • How to Use Blue Ox or Demco Tow Bars with a Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit
    No, the Universal Tow Bar Adapter for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Baseplate # RM62ZR will not work with your Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521433-1. That base plate kit is a crossbar style and the adapters work for the Direct-Connect styles. But I do have an option for you. You would want to use the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter # RM-033 along with the Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Tow Bars # 910021-00.

Ford says the 2.0L version cannot be flat towed. To join your Demco Excaliber tow bar to a set of Roadmaster base plates you'll need the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter, part # RM-033. This will allow your tow bar to work with base plates # 4427-1A. If you need safety cables use the coiled type #...

  • Which Blue Ox Base Plate Kit is a Fit for 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500
    If you are looking for the correct Blue Ox base plate kit that does fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Blue Ox doesn't currently have a fit. The # BX1710 is designed for the older generation where the front end is slightly different. Instead, I recommend using the Roadmaster base plate kit # RM-3177-1 and then if you are using a Blue Ox tow bar you will use adapter # RM-033. For a tow bar with safety cables we have the part # BX7380 which would work well. For lighting you can use the...

    To install base plates on a 2006 Jeep Wrangler with U-channel bumper, you would need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with Fixed Arms # BX1120. These base plate will work well with your Alpha tow bar #BX7365. The next step would be to wire the Jeep so that the tail lights work along with those of the tow vehicle. The easiest way to do this is a bulb-and socket system like part # RM-155. This system will remain completely independent of the Jeep wiring system. Blue Ox tow bars are typically...

  • Base Plates and Accessories to Flat Tow 1991 Mazda Miata with Pace Arrow 37C
    Assuming that you're using a Blue Ox tow bar, the parts you've mentioned would all be compatible. The # PE26UR lighting system would work well for your application. You'd also need safety cables like part # RM-645 if you don't have them already. Most states also require that the flat towed vehicle be equipped with a supplemental braking system, like theBlue Ox Patriot 3 # BLU37TR. I'll link you to some articles about flat towing that you might find helpful.
