This setup is made for those who want a straightforward, secure connection every time they hook up for a trip. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with fixed draw bars bolts directly to the chassis—no welding required—and spreads towing force evenly to help protect the vehicle’s suspension. The distance between brackets is 20-1/4" and bracket height is 24", giving you exact reference points for planning your tow bar setup.
When you’re not towing, only the attachment tabs are visible. The hidden reinforcements give the front end a tidy, low-profile appearance instead of bulky brackets or a crossbar. It’s a practical setup that looks clean and stays out of the way until it’s time to hitch up again.
The durable steel build is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, so it stands up to weather and road grime over years of use. Each connection point is built to form a sturdy, reliable link with your tow bar, keeping your flat-towing system solid through long trips and changing conditions.
This base plate pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure and reliable fit. If you’re using a Roadmaster tow bar, just add adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5 (sold separately). For Demco tow bars, adapter DM9523041 (sold separately) does the job. It’s an easy way to integrate the base plate into your existing towing gear without starting from scratch.

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! : )

After a year of occasional use I am still very happy with the BX1120 baseplate. Its a joy to use high quality products from a high quality supplier. Ive always gotten the highest quality support from the folks at Etrailer. Thanks folks.

it still looks nice and working as it should. i made it also double as a base to bolt up my winch. the bonus thing is when i need to tow it i can undo 4 bolts and take my winch off. i think you guys at e-trailer should consider making something like this as a option. i have pictures of it installed but how do i send them to you?

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?
