Built from drop-forged steel and finished in a protective powder coat, these adapters are manufactured in the USA and intended for use only with Roadmaster motorhome-mounted tow bars—not Stowmaster or Tracker models. Before towing, verify the bumper manufacturer permits flat towing with their bumper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the 035-1 adapter attach to my tow bar and bumper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 035-1 is designed to replace the terminal ends of Roadmaster motorhome-mounted tow bar arms so the tow bar pins directly into your bumper’s D-tab\/shackle.

It’s ideal for drivers who prefer a removable, non-permanent connection to their bumper shackles instead of installing a baseplate, and for anyone who values American-made fabrication and durable construction.
