This Blue Ox base plate kit is made from durable steel and bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required. The sturdy design spreads towing force evenly to help prevent stress on the suspension. It’s built to handle the demands of long-distance towing, giving you a setup you can count on every time you hit the road.
When the tow bar is off, only the attachment tabs are visible. The hidden reinforcements keep your front end looking clean without bulky hardware sticking out. It’s a low-profile setup that gives a tidy, factory-style appearance when not in use.
Everything bolts up securely using the supplied mounting hardware—no welding needed. The straightforward bolt-on design makes it approachable for DIY installers who want a solid connection without extra fabrication.
The lugs pair directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection. If you’re using a Roadmaster or Demco setup, it’s adaptable with their respective adapters (RM-031 or RM-031-5 for Roadmaster, DM9523041 for Demco, sold separately). That flexibility makes it easy to integrate with your existing gear.
With a distance between brackets of 24" and a bracket height of 15", it’s simple to plan your tow bar alignment or high-low adapter choice around these exact measurements. Those precise specs help ensure everything lines up correctly for smooth, reliable towing.

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! : )

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?
