Roadmaster 521453-5 Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit with Removable Arms

The Roadmaster 521453-5 Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit is a flat tow baseplate system featuring removable arms, designed for use with motorhome-mounted tow bars. The direct-connect design allows your tow bar to attach directly to the baseplate, eliminating the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar and creating a cleaner, faster hookup experience.

The hidden bracket design sits recessed behind the grille, keeping a factory-like appearance when the removable arms are not installed. Arms install and remove tool-free — simply insert, twist to lock, and pull the built-in pull pin to release and remove when not towing.

Key Features:

• Direct-Connect System: Tow bar attaches directly to the baseplate — no crossbar required
• Removable Arms: Twist-lock arms click securely into place and remove quickly without tools
• Hidden Design: Brackets sit back behind the grille for a clean, factory-like look when not in use
• Computer-Tested Strength: Every design undergoes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to verify structural integrity and maximum strength under towing stress
• Steel Construction: Computer-cut, all-steel build with a durable black powder-coat finish for corrosion resistance
• Made in the USA: Manufactured from raw steel at Roadmaster's facility in Vancouver, Washington
• Installs Up to 30% Faster: Fewer holes to drill and fewer components to remove compared to competing systems
• Lifetime Warranty: Covered against material and manufacturing defects when installed and maintained per instructions

Important Notes:

• Compatible with Roadmaster motorhome-mounted tow bars only (e.g., Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, Falcon 2)
• Not compatible with tow bars requiring a hitch ball
• Pins to connect baseplate to tow bar are not included
• Do not weld or modify the baseplate — doing so will void the warranty
• Inspect fasteners for proper torque every 3,000 miles

The Roadmaster 521453-5 is a professional-grade flat tow baseplate kit built for RV owners who demand a secure, low-profile, and easy-to-use towing solution.
