Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Roadmaster tow bar to Blue Ox base plates adapters. Now this part will adapt your Roadmaster's Blackhawk, Falcon, or Sterling tow bars to Blue Ox base plate brackets. They will work on the Sterling tow bars with serial numbers up to 14,500. Now if the serial number on your Sterling tow bar is higher, then you need to use the part number RM-031-5, which we do sell separately on our website.Now this part will include these two pieces, one for each arm of the tow bar. Basically what happens is right here, this bolt will go through the arm of the tow bar, and then this bracket here with the pin and clip, you would slide out your clip and your pin. And then this bracket will attach to the Blue Ox base plate brackets, and once they slide in there, you just slide your pin through.
And then put your clip on there like that, and it will hold it in to place.It does include the two swivel ears, the two base pins and clips, the two Allen head shoulder bolts, four plastic washers, two metal washers, and then two lock nuts. And it does have a nice detailed set of instructions on how to install it. And these parts are made in the USA. But that should do it for the review on the Roadmaster tow bar to Blue Ox base plates adapter.
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (91 Customer Reviews)
Exactly as described. I chose this adapter bracket from Roadmaster over the adapter bracket from Blue Ox (although it looks like beefier metal) because it is a solid piece of metal instead of the Blue Ox that is welded (and more expensive). Probably both are fine. Also I figured it would fit the Falcon Roadmaster tow bar exactly, and with accurate instructions, since it is made by Roadmaster. (Again, the Blue Ox one would probably be fine too.) So I have used the instructions and assembled the adapter brackets and it appears to be fine. I will now need to get a torque wrench.

These adapters work perfect, quick and easy to install. After a year of regular use with a Falcon tow bar pulling our Chevy Sonic with the Blue Ox tow plate all. is well.
I received in a timely fashion and great quality!!
Also purchased a towbar baseplate with great results.
I’ll definitely purchase more from company
I ordered these on line from etrailer.com because I had purchased a used vehicle that came with a Blue Ox system already attached but I have been using a Falcon 2 bar for years. They made a very inexpensive option for my scenario. It would have cost hundreds of dollars to put a Roadmaster system on the car. My only complaint is that the clevis pins pop out very easily. For safety, I will secure them with zip-ties before each trip (cheap insurance).

The tabs for Blue Ox base plate fit perfect. The adapter fit to the tabs very nicely, but the swivel ear, where it attaches to the tow bar was too wide, 1 1/2" and the shaft on my towbar needs only 7/8". The directions say a round nut should screw on the shaft and fill the space, but there isn't any threads on the towbar shaft. I talked to a very nice lady, at Etrailers help number, about the problem, and she said, that Roadmaster says it's ok, and so does DOT, to snugly fill in the gap with grade 8 washers.
I would say that Amy and Tori saved the day. My need for the part was completely time dependent, with the part not in house (etrailer warehouse) it was clear that it would happen in time. They worked multiple strategies for locating the part and getting it shipped to me before leaving town. In the end the part ended up in the etrailer warehouse, shipped out to and arrived 2 days prior to my delivery. ABOVE and BEYOND is how I see it. As for the part, it was everything that I needed to get by tow vehicle on the road behind our motor home.
Didn't exactly know what I needed to connect tow bar to mounting bracket. After talking to salesperson and watching video, got exactly what I needed. Came in record time. Will order from etrailer again.
Problem solved. These adapters saved the day when I had to change flat towed vehicles. Super easy to install and use.
Product looks great and will work well for us. One piece of advice, package it better.. The box was wide open when it arrived.
I received the RoadMaster tow bar adaptors promptly, they were easy to install and have performed flawlessly for 1,000's of miles of towing my Jeep. etrailer.com has become my go to place to purchase high quality components.
Excellent product and great price. I have always received great service and shipping with outstanding communication and tracking .
I tow two different vehicles with different brand mounts and these brackets will make my life much easier by just swapping brackets instead of having to use two different tow bars.
They say that a company is only as good as its employees... Well, etrailer is extremely fortunate to have someone like Shawn B. Working for them! This young lady got me out of a really frustrating predicament, and through careful listening and asking the right questions, she saved me not only a ton of money, but a whole bunch of frustration as well! My dilemma was that I had purchased a Jeep Liberty with a Blue Ox base plate, but I had a Blackhawk 2 tow bar! I thought I was going to have to go out and buy a Blue Ox tow bar to use with the Blue Ox base plate, but through careful review of my situation, and a calm analytical approach, this young lady determined exactly what I needed in the way of adapters and a towing light set up! Today, more than ever, it's all about customer service, and that is exactly what she provided for me!
Product arrived in a timely manner...
The detailed instructions are mandatory to follow to avoid attachment problems...
I'm pleased with this product and would recommend to others that have A Blue Ox Base Plate to use with a Roadmaster Sterling or other Roadmaster Tow Bar...
We sold our toad vehicle that had a Roadmaster base plate system. We kept our Roadmaster Falcon tow bar in anticipation of equipping our new toad vehicle with a Roadmaster base plate. When we found our new toad we were surprised to find it already had a Blue Ox base plate. These adapters allowed me to use my tow bar and connect to the Blue Ox on the car. Took less than 5 minutes to install and saved me from having to buy a new tow bar. $80 for the adapters versus $500 for a new tow bar - great value!!
etrailer was perfect in helping me with my requests and queries on an adapter I was needing. Nichole B went above and beyond what I needed her to do to help me. Thank you so much. They rate a 10+ in my book.
I needed a specialty product, brackets that convert from a Blue Ox faceplace to a Roadmaster tow bar. I called etrailer.com and had a very helpful gentleman assist me, he knew exactly what I needed, ordered them and they came the exact day I was told I would get them.
I installed them and they work perfectly.
I am very happy with the adapter i ordered to marry my roadmaster tow bar with a blue ox car mount. The service was great they even up graded shipping at no extra cost.
Ordered these adapters to fit my base plate on my truck got them in two days. They were a perfect fit . Thanks Noah you got me out of a bind.
I needed a pair of adapters for my tow bar and e trailer had them in stock at a reasonable price.I also needed a 10 inch drop down hitch to tow a pt cruiser behind my motorhome,that also was in stock.Their website is very easy to navigate.Iordered on a Monday and received my order on Thursday.
Very satisfied.

The Blue Ox adapters on my Roadmaster tow bar work perfectly.
This adapter saved me having to buy a complete new tow bar. I bought a new toad vehicle that was already rigged with different brand of tow brackets than my current toad. This adapter allowed me to use existing tow bar with new toad. Very easy to install. Fits perfectly.
Great company to do business with. They had these adapters in stock when Roadmaster did not. Was going to take a month to get from Roadmaster. I ordered online from etrailer with economy shipping and got product within 3 days. Will look here again.
High quality. Had to replace the ends on my Roadmaster Falcon2 and these are so much better than the Roadmaster ends. Easier to get the pins out.
Exactly the part I was looking for and simple installation instructions. Lots of parliament s and videos for motor homes, trailers, etc. Very pleased.
