Using Roadmaster Base Plates with a Blue Ox Tow Bar to Flat Tow a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
Will the roadmaster 032 adapter work with this basplate to convert to Blue ox tow bar?
asked by: Dan D
Expert Reply:
The adapter # RM-032 will fit Blue Ox Aventa, Aventa II, Kar Bar, Aladdin, Alexxa, Acclaim (and all Blue Ox A-Frame tow bars with 1 or 3 pronged attachment).
If you do not already have some safety cables you can add some using # RM-643.
For lighting if you will not be towing very often I recommend a magnetic kit like # RM-2120. But for more frequent flat towing a more permanent solution is diode kit # 154-792-118158. The diode kit also requires a relay # RM-88400 to keep the Jeep's brake lights from overriding the motorhome's.
Most states now require a supplemental braking system on the vehicle being flat towed. I recommend the Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 because you don't have to remove it in order to drive the Jeep.
Be sure to consult the Jeep owners manual for more specific information on flat towing the vehicle. I have included some helpful links on flat towing for you.
