When you’re pulling serious miles behind the RV, you want a setup that won’t flinch. This base plate bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required and spreads towing force evenly to minimize weight on the suspension. The sturdy, dependable steel construction is made to handle thousands of highway miles without shifting or loosening up.
If you prefer a straightforward setup that always looks tidy, this one fits the bill. There’s no bulky crossbar or large bracket hanging out front—just the fixed draw bars that stay in place and do their job. Hidden reinforcements keep most of the hardware out of sight so you get a clean, practical finish without giving up strength.
You don’t need welding gear or a shop bay to get this installed. The kit includes the necessary hardware and instructions for a simple bolt-on fit right to your vehicle’s frame. Once tightened down, it stays put and gives you solid attachment points for your tow bar every time you hook up.
Already running a tow bar from another brand? You can keep it with the right adapter—Demco lists options for Roadmaster, Blue Ox, Reese, and others—so there’s no need to start over from scratch. It’s fully compatible with all Demco tow bars as is, and an integrated electrical bracket makes it easy to mount a round plug up front for a clean wiring connection.
The base plate brackets sit 24" apart center-to-center with a bracket height of 15". Those measurements make it easier to plan out your tow bar angle or pick the right high-low adapter for a level setup when you’re ready to roll.

After one year, the base plate kit is still going strong as ever. Nothing has broken or come loose.

After a year, baseplate works great. Changed tow bar to a non-ball type. No baseplate connection issues.

I have had this in operation for a year now and I am still just as happy as I was the first day. Great product.

Hi Don. Per Demco, the # DM9518010 is a fit for the 1998 Jeep Cherokee, unless it has the front skid plate removed or if it's equipped with the up-country suspension or Tow hook pkg.

After a year everything works as it should. I did loose one of the plastic covers because they dont fit good and snug. On a side note, my MH broke down on the expressway and I was able to use the toad to push my MH off the expressway to a safe place. Not sure if any else has done this but it truly was a life saver!
