Roadmaster 523193-5 Direct-Connect Baseplate Kit with Removable Arms, Select Chevrolet Equinox

Roadmaster Baseplates are the strongest, safest, and easiest to install and make it possible to tow your vehicle behind your motorhome. Designed for use with motorhome-mounted tow bars, the direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible and easy to mount and remove. These brackets install on your vehicle’s frame, eliminating the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar.

• Direct-connect brackets provide attachment points for your motorhome-mounted tow bar
• Streamlined design creates a 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 with no welding required
• Custom baseplates ensure a perfect fit to a specific range of vehicles
• Compatible with Roadmaster motorhome-mounted tow bars only
• Pins to connect baseplate to the tow bar are not included

Note: Roadmaster direct-connect baseplates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. These baseplates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
