Product Description
The Roadmaster 648 is a set of two 64-inch safety cables for flat towing, rated at 8,000 lbs, with double snap hooks. Safety cables connect the motorhome to the towed vehicle as a backup to the tow bar, and safety cables or chains are required by law for most towing setups.
The cables are aircraft-type galvanized steel with heavy-duty drop-forged steel snap hooks and spring-loaded latches, and a blue vinyl coating helps keep them from scratching or chipping the tow bar.
Compatibility
- Flat towing setups using a tow bar and base plate
Make sure the 64-inch length suits the distance between your motorhome hitch and the towed vehicle's safety cable attachment points, and that the rating meets or exceeds your towed vehicle's weight. Contact us with questions before ordering.

Pro tipTow bar setup tips
- Rating first. The tow bar’s capacity must be higher than your towed vehicle’s loaded weight.
- Keep it close to level. Tow bar makers specify how far the motorhome hitch and the base plate connection can be apart in height — use a rise or drop receiver to bring them in range (see your tow bar’s instructions).
- Check base plate compatibility. Different brands connect differently; mixing brands requires the right adapter.
