When you’re setting up for long hauls, strength matters. This base plate kit uses durable steel construction that’s powder coated to resist rust and corrosion. Its sturdy design spreads towing force evenly to help prevent stress on your vehicle’s suspension, keeping your setup solid on every mile. With fixed draw bars and a distance between brackets of 24" and a bracket height of 16-1/2", it gives you a stable foundation for worry-free towing.
If you like a front end that doesn’t look cluttered when you’re not towing, this design fits the bill. The hidden reinforcements leave only the attachment tabs visible, so there’s no bulky hardware sticking out. It keeps your vehicle’s lines clean while still giving you strong, ready-to-go connection points when it’s time to hook up.
This is a straightforward installation—no welding required. The base plate bolts securely to the chassis using the included mounting hardware, so if you’re comfortable with tools, it’s a satisfying DIY project. Everything lines up cleanly for a solid fit that feels factory built once installed.
If you already own a tow bar, this kit makes it easy to integrate. The sturdy lugs pair directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure and reliable connection. It’s also adaptable for use with Roadmaster tow bars using adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5 (sold separately), and with Demco tow bars using adapter DM9523041 (sold separately). That means you can build your flat towing system around what you already have without compromise.
Durability isn’t just in the build—it’s in the promise behind it. This base plate kit comes with a 3-year warranty, giving you confidence that your setup will stay dependable through many miles of travel.

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?

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! : )
