Can Demco Base Plate Attachment Tabs Connect to Roadmaster D-Ring Adapter RM-031-5

Question

Question:

Hello. The stock tow bar pull tabs same as DM86MV on the e-trailer tow plate for my 2012 Honda CR-V e98955 fit my mating tow bar RM-031-5. I’m curious why it’s not mentioned in the description and an alternate adaptor is recommended.

Thank you for passing on that the Demco tabs part # DM86MV from the etrailer base plate kits like the part # e98955 are a fit for the Roadmaster D-Ring adapter part # RM-031-5. The reason we didn't have them listed as a fit was basically just a matter of not having test fit them so we just didn't know until you did it for us.
