Roadmaster Base Plates - RM32FR
- Removable Drawbars
- Roadmaster
- Twist Lock Attachment
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:
- Direct-connect brackets provide attachment points for your motor-home-mounted tow bar
- Streamlined design creates supremely clean look
- No obtrusive quick-disconnect crossbar
- Hidden brackets sit even farther back than standard brackets
- Drawbars attach and remove quickly and easily
- Arms click to lock in place in brackets
- Built-in pull rings let you unlock arms so you can twist and remove them
- 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 motor-home-mounted tow bars only
- Instructions and mounting hardware included
- Made in the USA
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
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.

Quality is very good
Installation instructions are clear
Very good product
by: Going with the Flo.04/25/2022
Great fit - The instructions were spot on. etrailer’s instruction videos are extremely helpful. I rate the level of difficulty on the GX to be moderate due to the difficulty removing/installing the front fascia.

I bought and self installed this on my 2021 GMC Sierra Duramax 1 year ago. Install took about 5 hours and wasn't difficult...I could problty install it in 2-3 hours after leaening the tricks. Weve towed the truck all over the USA since then (over 10,0000 miles) and it works great! I've used other brands and highly recommend Roadmaster tow systems over the competition.

The Roadmaster direct connect base was a perfect fit for my 2013 focus S to flat tow. We had it installed in about 3 hrs following the complete direction and pictures. I highly recommend using etrailer.
by: Richard03/10/2024
Good product. If you are reasonably handy and have some tools, you can install this yourself in a few hours. I'm a mechanic, it took me a little over 2 hours to install on my own toad. The fit is good, there are 4 holes you have to drill, otherwise it is plug and play. When you insert and twist lock the tow bar mounts into their sockets they feel a little sloppy but they are secure, and i never noticed any rattle when towing. Overall i give it a 4 out of 5 for easy install and clean look after install. Pic included of installed base plate.

Installed on my 2020 Jeep Cherokee for flat towing behind our motorhome . I wanted a tow bar connection that integrated with the front end of the Jeep and the removable arms did the trick . I had one issue with the driver side receiver bracket not lining up with the upper mount bolt hole on the Jeep, image 0547. Had to make a slight adjustment to the receiver bracket so the holes would line up, image 0551 and image 0559. The rest of the install went smoothly
I also installed the Demco braking Stay n Play Duo system , image 0565 which went in without any issues, image 6028. 7 thousand miles of towing later, couldn't be happier with the products

This is a rock solid baseplate. Installed on a 2023 Equinox LT (AWD). I followed etrailer's videos for installation and they are spot on. We connect with a Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar, charge line kit, smart diode lighting kit, and a Demco Stay-in-Play supplimental braking system. It is fairly well hidden when not in-use. This setup is great!
by: David02/07/2023
Exactly what I needed. Written jbstructuons were spot on and video was very helpful.
by: Charles02/02/2024
I installed them on my new RAM 1500. Works great, very heavy duty. I also modified and attached a push bumper and used the Roadmaster base plates.
by: Dennis04/03/2024
Easy install. Looks great. Apparently they have made some changes so that the video is not accurate. Install instructions though were spot on. A template for cutting the grill would be an added plus.
by: John 04/08/2023
I was very pleased with the way you handled my order. I called and was greeted pleasantly and knowledgeable about what I needed and in just a few minutes my order was placed. It arrived just as they said it would in a timely matter.
I would recommend e-trailer to anyone!
by: Jay12/30/2023
Installed on my 2020 jeep jl sport s with factory plastic bumper and plastic rock guard. Shane’s video was very helpful but I did not like how the metal plate behind the rock guard was cut away and how the rock guard had two big cut outs so I did some modifications. I cut two slots in the metal bracket and added angle brackets for extra support. As a result i did not use the supplied brackets for the rock guard. I created a template for the rock guard which resulted in two small cut outs. A lot of extra time but i am retired so time is relative. I think it looks great.

Installing on 2020 Jeep Trailhawk :
Pic #0557 : Roadmaster Base Plate Kit , Demco Supplemental Braking System , Diode Wiring Kit , Demco Battery Charge Wire Kit
Pic # 0548 ,0551 , 0559 Had to adjust the bracket plate to line up with the upper bolt holes
Pic #6028 finished install , mounted the operating unit to the top fuse box cover using automotive Velcro . Air cylinder , controller and LED light installed . Aside from the base plate bracket not lining up with the upper bolt holes I would give it 4 stars . My son in law is a master at solving mechanical issues .

The base plate arrived on time, with excellent instructions. I went slowly because my truck is only days old and still had it done in an evening.
by: John11/01/2023
I bought this base plate kit for my 2022 Jeep Rubicon Gladiator so I could flat tow behind my class a motor home with a Roadmaster Falcon all terrain non binding tow bar. The instructions were easy to follow and went smoothly except drilling the holes. That was my fault because I was using a dull drill bit. See attached photo
by: Andy05/17/2023
This kit worked out great for my 2022 Chevy Equinox. I like how it has separate side plates, which make it easier to attach the main bar. The points where it attaches to the frame seem plenty secure. It is important to watch the videos provided by etrailer as Ryan is very thorough and has good tips for installing. I would also recommend installing additional wiring while having the front end off. Overall, I was able to complete in my driveway. The hardest part was sorting out the wiring for whatever braking and tail lights you decide on. William S helped me pick all the necessary components needed for flat towing behind my Jayco RV. I am looking forward to a summer of camping and having more freedom to explore the area, now having a car.
by: David 01/21/2023
The bracket kit fit my 2023 Subaru Crosstrek perfectly. The instructions are excellent and the video is really useful too. I’m really pleased with this RoadMaster bracket kit and the support from eTrailer.
by: Don 04/26/2024
Item works good. We pulled our ‘21 Canyon behind our RV on several trips and had no issues other than you need to put in a diode to the rear lights to keep them from back feeding.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Base Plates
- Why Are There no Base Plate Kit fits for 2021 Buick Encore GX with Sport Touring Package The lower grille of the ST package is shaped differently and that's where the base plate kits come through so that's why there's an issue. So for the time being you could tow it with a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 and you'd be good since the front grille doesn't affect the fit on a dolly.
view full answer... - Does Battery of 2020 Buick Encore GX Need to be Disconnected to Flat Tow itWhen flat towing any vehicle we have to recommend you stick with what the vehicle manufacturer outlines as the flat towing procedure in the owners manual. In most cases the reason is because the steering wheel has to be unlocked and the only position the steering wheel is unlocked for some vehicles is with the key on which is why then the battery has to be disconnected so it doesn't drain quickly. You'd have to check with Buick to get that totally verified but if you left the key on for...

view full answer... - Why Does The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect USe The Positive Terminal Post CableRoadmaster released a tech bulletin about why the positive needs to be removed instead of following the vehicle's owner's manual and disconnecting the negative post cable. The reason is because if you use the disconnect on the negative side you'll lose your towed vehicle's main ground to the chassis. This means that all of the accessories that need to operate on the toad must be grounded through the connection to the motorhome which is too small of a gauge and the distance is too great...
view full answer... - Why Is A Stop Light Switch Kit Needed For A 2020 Buick Encore GX The Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM62FR is needed because the brake light switch wire of the 2020 Buick Encore GX isn't useable and this simulates the braking signal so that it can be sent out to the braking system. This allows you to see when the brakes are being applied while flat towing, which is important because you can easily verify if the brakes are activating when they shouldn't be or not activating when they need to so that you can pull over and troubleshoot the issue.

view full answer... - Does Battery of 2022 Buick Encore GX Need to Be Disconnected in Order To Flat Tow ItIf your 2022 Buick Encore GX is a FWD vehicle, it cannot be flat towed and you would need to use a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1. If your Encore is an AWD model that's not a Sport Touring model, it can be flat towed as long as you don't exceed 70 mph. Per the owner's manual, the negative battery terminal does indeed need to be disconnected in order to tow the vehicle. This prevents the battery from being drained. The Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect system, part # RM-766 would...

view full answer... - Why Does The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect RM-766 Attach To The Positive Battery PostHey Brad, that is a good question. The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 attaches to the positive battery post because that is what the polarity of the solenoid is designed for. This also allows for a positive current source for accessories such as a breakaway switch or stop light switch. If you were to disconnect the battery without using a Roadmaster Battery Disconnect, you would just pull the negative cable off like it says in your manual. With the # RM-766 though it will connect...
