When you’re setting up for flat towing, solid connection points are everything. This Blue Ox base plate kit uses fixed draw bars that bolt directly to your chassis, creating a secure link between your tow bar and your vehicle. The sturdy lugs pair with Blue Ox tow bars for a reliable connection, so you can tow with confidence. The design spreads towing forces evenly to help prevent stress on your suspension during long hauls.
You don’t have to trade looks for function. The low-profile reinforcements give the front of your vehicle a streamlined appearance when you’re not towing, and the crossbar support beam blends naturally with the bumper. The visible fixed arms stay compact and neat, keeping the setup tidy without cluttering the front end.
Long trips and heavy use are no problem for this setup. The base plate is made from durable steel that’s powder coated to resist rust and corrosion. It’s built to hold up through years of towing and weather exposure while maintaining a solid structural connection between your RV and towed vehicle.
You don’t need welding gear or special tools to get this mounted. The kit bolts securely to the chassis using the included mounting hardware, making it a straightforward installation for DIYers or local shops alike. Once installed, you’ll have dependable strength ready for thousands of towing miles ahead.
Running a different tow bar brand? You can still make it work. This base plate can adapt for use with Roadmaster tow bars using adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5 (sold separately), or with Demco tow bars using adapter DM9523041 (sold separately). That flexibility helps you integrate smoothly into your current towing system without starting from scratch.

Glad the install went smoothly, Grant! Even with those weird handle nuts (which I agree are kind of odd). What's the first trip you have planned? And I will let Alex know what you said as well! : )

After a year of occasional use I am still very happy with the BX1120 baseplate. Its a joy to use high quality products from a high quality supplier. Ive always gotten the highest quality support from the folks at Etrailer. Thanks folks.

it still looks nice and working as it should. i made it also double as a base to bolt up my winch. the bonus thing is when i need to tow it i can undo 4 bolts and take my winch off. i think you guys at e-trailer should consider making something like this as a option. i have pictures of it installed but how do i send them to you?

Thanks for your review, Richard! It sounds like this was a fairly involved installation, but we're glad to hear everything came together successfully in the end. We appreciate you sharing the details of your process, especially the tips about the tight frame rail clearance and drilling challenges, as those insights may help other RV owners tackling the same project. Thanks for including the photo as well. Your finished installation looks great! Now that it's installed and you're moving on to the diode kit and brake away switch, what adventure are you looking forward to most this summer in your RV?
