This setup bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required, giving you solid, even support for towing. The durable steel construction is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, while the design helps distribute towing forces evenly across the frame. That steady load spread protects your suspension and keeps things stable mile after mile.
When you’re not towing, the low-profile reinforcements keep the front of your vehicle looking clean. The crossbar support beam blends in well with the bumper, giving it a neat, integrated appearance instead of bulky metal out front. It’s a simple way to keep your setup looking sharp between trips.
You don’t need to weld or modify anything to use this base plate. It bolts securely to the chassis using the supplied hardware, making it a practical project for anyone comfortable with tools. The fixed draw bars stay in place once mounted, ready for your next hookup without extra prep work.
The sturdy lugs pair directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection every time. If you’re running another brand, it’s adaptable—just add an adapter (RM-031 or RM-031-5 for Roadmaster, DM9523041 for Demco, sold separately). That flexibility makes it easy to integrate this base plate into your existing flat tow setup.
With a bracket distance of 24" and bracket height of 17-1/2", you can plan your tow bar alignment accurately. Those exact specs make it easy to check that everything sits level and balanced once connected, helping ensure a smooth towing experience from start to finish.

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! : )
