Default Falcon 5250

What was not readily apparent in the product literature was the reuse of the original threaded tow bar "end round nuts" (threaded couplers) for our 5250 unit. The "end round nuts" (un-threaded couplers) that come with the adaters work with other tow bar models but not the 5250, which requires threaded couplers.

These adapters are compatible with the following Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars
  • BlackHawk
  • BlackHawk All-Terrain
  • BlackHawk 2 All-Terrain (RM-422)
  • Falcon (RM-520)
  • Falcon 2
  • Falcon 5250
  • Falcon All-Terrain (RM-522)
  • Nighthawk (RM-676)
  • Sterling
  • Sterling All-Terrain (RM-576)

I too just used a rm 035-1 on my falcon5250. I reused the threaded couplers. How’s your holding up? I really can’t see a problem reusing but would like some reassurance. Thanks!
