This base plate bolts directly to the chassis for a sturdy, no-nonsense connection to your tow bar. The durable steel build spreads towing forces evenly to reduce stress on your vehicle’s suspension. It’s powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, so you can count on it for long hauls without worrying about wear.
If you care about how your setup looks when you’re not towing, the low-profile reinforcements help keep things streamlined. The crossbar support beam blends in with the bumper, giving the front end a cleaner, more factory-like appearance even though the arms stay visible.
No welding is needed—just bolt it up with the included mounting hardware for a solid fit. The design lines up with your chassis mounts for straightforward installation that’s manageable for DIYers who want to handle their own setup.
The sturdy lugs pair directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure link that won’t leave you guessing. If you’re using a Roadmaster or Demco tow bar, there are adapter options—RM-031 or RM-031-5 for Roadmaster, and DM9523041 for Demco—so you can integrate this base plate into your existing flat tow gear without needing to start over.
With 24" between brackets and a 16" bracket height, this kit helps you keep your tow bar level between the motorhome and towed vehicle. That alignment keeps the tow bar operating smoothly across miles of highway or uneven terrain, preventing binding and keeping your setup steady trip after trip.

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! : )

Working great, flat towed my 2001 4X4 4Runner from California to Red Bay Alabama and back with no problem. I just have to put the transmission in park, transfer case in neutral, brake off, key off, but leave key in.
