If you like your setup to look clean when you’re not towing, this base plate nails it. The hidden design keeps the brackets out of sight, and the removable arms twist out easily when you’re done towing. Receiver covers plug into the openings to keep dirt and debris out, giving the front end a finished look and keeping the sockets clean for your next trip.




Getting hooked up doesn’t have to be a struggle. The removable arms slide into the receivers, twist to lock in place, and secure with a pin—no tools or extra steps needed. When you’re unhooked, pull the pin, rotate to unlock, and slide them out. It’s a straightforward system that makes solo hookups at home or on the road fast and reliable.


Durable steel construction with a rust-resistant powder coat means this base plate is ready for long-distance towing. The sturdy design spreads towing forces evenly across your chassis to help reduce stress on the suspension over time. It bolts directly to the frame using the included hardware—no welding required—so once it’s on, it stays solid mile after mile.
Already have a tow bar you trust? This base plate pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars and can be adapted for use with Roadmaster (RM-031 or RM-031-5) or Demco (DM9523041) setups when paired with the correct adapter brackets (sold separately). That flexibility lets you reuse your existing gear without starting from scratch.
With a distance between brackets of 21" and a bracket height of 24-3/4", it’s easy to line up your tow bar for proper fitment. Every piece is designed to bolt securely in place, creating a strong, balanced link between your vehicle and motorhome for reliable flat towing performance backed by a 3-year warranty.

I am glad you were able to get it installed with no issues and a little help from our video! What kind of coach are you pulling the Kia Soul with?

Its been two years since installation of the Blue Ox Baseplate. Since then, Ive flat towed the CRV from NJ to FL and back three separate times with many other shorter trips in between. Paired with a Blue Ox Tow Bar, the system has worked flawlessly since installation.

Thanks for the detailed review Chris, and the pointers! This will be most helpful to others. What was your favorite stop in those 7,000 miles? Where did you go, what did you see?

Follow up. Ive put about 8000 miles on the setup and its been great. A 34 ton suburban pulls nicely behind my Dutch star, and they dont have a steering lock so its nice not to have to retrieve keys when stopping for the night. I have used the safety cable attachment a few times for straight line pulls with a small shackle when working as a rally racing volunteer, its been fine but I wouldnt side pull on it.
