Towing your vehicle behind your motor home requires a number of components: tow bar, base plates, safety cables, tow bar wiring and a supplemental braking system. Please refer to the linked article which provides details for each of these items. I have also provided a link to our main page for tow bars where you can identify correct base plates, wiring and braking systems for your setup.

You may also need adapters to match some of these components if they come from different manufacturers. For example, the Roadmaster part # RM-037 you referenced adapts the Blue Ox Rangefinder II tow bar for use with Roadmaster base plates. We also offer an adapter to enable use of the Duncan EazAligner tow bar with Roadmaster XL, EZ and standard base plates; this is part # RM-038. (Note it will not fit RoadMaster MX or MS series base plates.)

You will also need to check the owners manual or speak to the dealership for your towed vehicle to confirm that it can be safely flat-towed. Some vehicles must be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect, or free-wheeling hubs before they can be safely flat-towed.

Based on my research the Duncan EazAligner tow bar uses a coupler for attachment to the motor home. This means that your RV will need to have a hitch ball of the matching size (this should be indicated on the coupler housing) and a ball mount to mate with the Duncan EazAligner tow bar.

In order to provide specific information we will need to know the year/make/model of your towed vehicle; the make and model of the installed base plates and the size and tow rating of the hitch receiver on your motor home.

Roadmaster does have a base plate that will work, part #RM-521453-4. You'll also need the #RM-038 Duncan tow bar to Roadmaster Base Plate adapter. The reason we don't list the coupler style tow bars as being compatible is that the EZ4 type…
