When you’re logging highway miles behind a motorhome, you want a base plate that feels solid from the start. The etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required and uses fixed draw bars for a sturdy, dependable connection. The steel construction spreads towing forces evenly to minimize weight on the suspension, so you can trust it through every mile of the trip.
This setup keeps things simple and tidy up front. There’s no external crossbar or large protruding brackets—just the base plate tabs visible when you’re unhooked. Hidden reinforcement gives you a low-profile appearance that blends in with the front of the vehicle instead of sticking out.
If you like tackling projects yourself, this one’s doable with basic tools. The kit includes clear instructions and all necessary hardware for a bolt-on install—no welding or fabrication. Once mounted, the brackets sit 31-1/2" apart and 20" high, giving you solid reference points when setting up your tow bar alignment.
You don’t have to ditch your current tow bar to use this kit. It’s compatible with all etrailer tow bars and Demco Victory Series models right out of the box. If you’re using a different brand, adapter options (e98979 through e98984, sold separately) let you connect Roadmaster, Blue Ox, Reese Tow Champ, or Valley Industries tow bars without hassle.
A dedicated bracket on the base plate makes it easy to mount a round electrical connector plug so your lighting harness stays neat and accessible. It’s one less thing to fabricate or zip-tie into place, keeping your front end organized and ready to roll whenever you hook up for a trip.

love it! It's an excellent fit for our 2003 Jeep!
Great bar for the money. Instructions were fairly easy to follow but at time they did not make sense logically. In the final step lining up the grill was confusing I had to improvise to make it work.
These are quality parts that fit and function perfectly.
I installed myself! The direction we easy to follow and the unit fit my 2017 jeep unlimited perfectly. I have over 4000 tow miles since the install with no issues.
Got what I needed it works perfectly and it came fast just as I ordered it

Product was super easy to install and great support from the team at e-trailer. Thanks guys!
The finished product is great! The reason for the three-star rating is because the mounting holes didn't line up with the holes on the frame of the 2004 Jeep Liberty. The host came out a quarter inch off. After drilling the third hole according to the instructions I put all three bolts in the nut plate and made sure that all three bolts will fit in the holes easily. I then got one bolt started on one side and then found out it was completely off by quarter inch on the other side. With 0 wiggle room I put all three bolts in loosely on one side and manage to use vise grips to clamp up the other side so I can drill out the holes. I was then able to get the bolts in on the other side. Aside from the fasteners for the bumper cover being different and more difficult from the directions and not being able to disconnect the wiring harness I figure it could have been worse. At least in the end nobody will know the difference. See photos. It sure was a blessing to be able to get it so quick.
Order was easy and fast delivery on time
