Will Roadmaster StowMaster with Lunette Ring Work With Blue Ox Base Plates

Question

Question:

I have a 2014 Honda C-RV with a BlueOx baseplate. I currently have a BlueOx tow bar, but I would like to upgrade to pintle hook tow bar. I am a transporter, and I would have more load options if I could hook up to a pintle hook, plus my BlueOx tow bar is in bad shape from over use. What other parts would I need to buy to hook this to my BlueOx base plate?

I do have an option but the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar part # RM-581 can not be used with a Blue Ox Base Plate Kit. The adapters are only available for motorhome mounted tow bars not vehicle mounted tow bars. The Blue Ox Allure Tow Bar part # BX7460P would then be your best option.

The RoadMaster 4-Wire Connector #RM-910030-1 has a 1-3/4" center to center spacing for the mounting holes and would require a at minimum a 7/8" wide hole to fit the body of the connector through.
