A base plate mounts to the towed vehicle's frame behind the front bumper and gives a motorhome-mounted tow bar a strong, vehicle-specific attachment point for flat towing. With the direct-connect design, any motorhome-mounted Roadmaster tow bar attaches directly to the base plate's removable tabs, so no crossbar is needed, and the tabs come off when you're not towing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation note from the manufacturer: trimming of the shock absorption pad, active air shutter or louver housing, lower air dam, air deflector, cowling and\/or rock guard is required. To complete a flat-towing setup, pair the base plate with a compatible tow bar, safety cables, a towed-vehicle wiring kit and a supplemental braking system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2024–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2026 Jeep Wrangler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFitment can vary by trim, bumper and options (such as aftermarket bumpers or winches).
