When you’re logging miles behind the motorhome, you want a setup that feels solid and predictable. This base plate kit bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required, creating a secure connection point for your tow bar. The durable steel construction and sturdy design spread towing force evenly to help prevent stress on the suspension while resisting rust and corrosion thanks to its powder-coated finish.
A clean look matters, especially when you’re not towing. The hidden reinforcements on this base plate mean that only the attachment tabs are visible once it’s installed. You won’t see bulky metal hanging out below the bumper—just a tidy, low-profile finish that blends right in with your vehicle’s front end.
Already running a Blue Ox tow bar like an Adventurer, Aventa, Aladdin, Alpha, or Allure? This kit pairs right up for a secure and reliable connection. It can also be adapted to work 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 makes it simple to integrate into your existing flat-tow setup without having to replace gear you already trust.
If you’re comfortable turning wrenches, this kit is ready for a DIY install. It bolts directly to the chassis using included mounting hardware and doesn’t require welding. The straightforward layout helps you line up everything cleanly so you can get back on the road sooner. With bracket spacing at 19-4" and bracket height at 14", it’s easy to plan out the rest of your tow system around these specs.

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?
