This towing package is for a tow vehicle that has a total weight up to 6000 pounds, and has a coach with hydraulic brakes.
This Package Includes:
RM-522 Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar 6,000 lb.
• One-person quick-connect and disconnect
At the towed vehicle…
Thanks to an exclusive, self-supporting quick-disconnect
system, one person can easily connect or disconnect the Falcon
All-Terrain in seconds. (These baseplates also make it extremely easy to
attach accessories such as the
Guardian™, Stowaway and the Tow Defender).
And at the motorhome…
Telescoping, independently-adjustable inner arms are easy to
maneuver into position. Simply pin them in place and then drive your
motorhome away and the arms automatically center and lock in place.
• The largest hook-up radius in the industry means you don’t waste time lining up your towed vehicle. You can’t say this about many things in life but connecting the Falcon All-Terrain is just like horseshoes — “close” is good enough!
• Self-lubricating nylon bushings eliminate friction between the inner and outer arms for smooth, easy operation. Other tow bars have steel riding on steel.
• Patented storage latch
Simply fold the Falcon All-Terrain toward the motorhome and
the storage latch will click, automatically locking it in place. When
you’re ready to tow, just lift the tow bar up and press the storage
latch to release the lock.
• Channel guides
The safety cables and power cord (not included) can both be
routed through the built-in channel guides for protection against damage
or dragging, and for a clean, uncluttered look. There’s no need to wrap
the cables or the power cord around the tow bar every morning.
• Motorhome-mounted
When you reach your destination, the Falcon All-Terrain
conveniently stores out of the way on the back of the motorhome.
• No ball mount to drag
The Falcon All-Terrain mounts into a 2-inch receiver.
• Solid stainless steel inner arms
Solid stainless steel inner arms for smooth, trouble-free
operation and easy maintenance. Stainless steel looks better, lasts
longer and prevents corrosion that binds — ROADMASTER tow bars are the most rust-free in the industry.
• Full-length steel crossbar — reinforced for maximum support and safety.
• A lustrous, high-tech powder coat finish for maximum durability. This finish exceeds all 500-hour salt spray, high-impact and extreme weather standards. In this process, charged particles of pigment are sprayed onto the surface of the tow bar, then baked at more than 400 degrees. The paint fuses to the metal. The result is a uniform, thick and extremely durable finish — three times stronger than solvent-based paint.Roadmaster Baseplate - Vehicle Specific Applications
Roadmaster offers two styles of base plates, they are listed below. When booking you need to select the style of baseplate that you would like in options section above.
Direct-Connect
This
style allows you to connect your tow bar directly to the baseplate,
eliminating the need for a crossbar. This is our easiest system to
connect and disconnect. If you are using a motorhome-mounted tow bar
(except Sterling), this is the baseplate you should choose.
For a Sterling, Stowmaster, Tracker, Guardian Rock Shield, or Tow Defender part number 4700, use the Crossbar-Style shown below.
Crossbar-Style
This
style accommodates Roadmaster tow bars and accessories by utilizing the
crossbar and/or quick-disconnect system as a mounting platform.
If you are using a Sterling or a car-mounted tow bar, you need this style of baseplate.
RM-9243-1 Towing Accessory Combo Kit
Contains 6 wire electrical cable, bulb and socket kit, 3-lock set, 4-diode kit and tow bar cover.
99251 SMI Stay-in-Play Duo Braking System
For any motorhome with hydraulic brakes, universal fit allows use with any tow vehicle.
No more boxes! That is the cry of our customers. The Stay-IN-Play DUO answers the cry. Duo's small operating unit is installed under the hood so you never know it is there. No messy components scattered in the towed vehicle to complicate things; just a small operating module to control the towed vehicle brakes with no physical connection to the motorhome.
DUO combines the power of air pressure and the gentleness of vacuum to give you the fastest, most powerful self contained supplemental brake ever. DUO uses the power and speed of air pressure to activate your towed vehicle brake pedal while creating vacuum for the power brake system. These two features combine to create the only progressive and proportionate vacuum assisted system with total control. DUO requires BOTH deceleration AND coach brake lights to apply the towed vehicle brakes. By combining two separate signals, the need for complicated electronics is eliminated, which provides you with a more reliable long lasting system. In addition, DUO is the pioneer in user-friendly operation; "Just Turn it on...and Tow." This simple technology was first introduced in 2003. Tried and true, DUO does not have to be taken in and out for normal operation of the towed vehicle. Unhook the car and drive off, that's all. No box, no wires; in fact, no physical connection to the motor home at all.
The Stay-IN-Play DUO system energizes the towed vehicle’s power brakes without the engine running, so you have a soft brake pedal. Once engaged, DUO replenishes the vacuum in the car's power brake system. By replenishing vacuum, gentle smooth pressure is applied to the towed vehicle’s brakes. With the power brakes active, only 10 - 12 pounds of pressure is required to provide a gentle smooth stop.
Activation of the towed vehicle's brakes require BOTH deceleration and the brake lights from the motor home. Once BOTH signals are present, DUO gently applies the brakes. There is no complicated gain or sensitivity to achieve the proportionate balance of brake effort; it is all automatic. Automatically, once engaged, DUO will apply progressive brake effort in the towed vehicle. Because DUO uses both brake lights from the coach and deceleration, there is absolutely no delay. This becomes critical in a panic stop. Systems that use only deceleration must "think" first: is this a step grade, is this a large bump, or is this stopping? Time translates to feet while towing, and in a panic stop, inches are important. No self contained system applies brakes faster than the DUO.
"Coach Notification" is another important aspect of any supplemental brake system. Some claim to have it, but really do not; while others do not really tell you about the position of the brake pedal in the towed vehicle. Without question, the most important information while towing is the status of the braking system in the towed vehicle. "Are the brakes applied?" That is the question. When researching brake systems, ask the question, "Do you have coach notification FROM THE TOWED VEHICLE'S BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH?" Many will claim to have a signal but do not, and others will have a signal from some other source. The only reliable and complete signal must originate from the towed vehicle's brake switch. If the light is on, the brakes are on, period. What you do not want is a problem while you are towing. Knowing the position of the brake pedal gives you that peace of mind.
Simple on/off towing, the gentleness of vacuum, the speed and power of air pressure, dual signal activation, and reliable coach notification all combine to provide the most powerful, easy to use system available today.
