When you’re not towing, this setup keeps things neat up front. The low-profile reinforcements stay tucked away, leaving only the attachment tabs visible. It keeps the front end looking clean while still being ready to connect your tow bar whenever you need it.
This base plate bolts directly to the chassis and spreads towing forces evenly across the frame. That sturdy design helps prevent stress on your vehicle’s suspension while giving you a dependable, secure link between your motorhome and towed vehicle. The durable steel frame is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion through miles of travel.
Designed for easy setup, this kit bolts in place using the included mounting hardware—no welding needed. Everything aligns to your chassis for a solid, straightforward install that’s within reach for most DIYers or shop setups alike.
You can pair this base plate with Blue Ox tow bars for a direct connection, or use an adapter to connect with other popular systems. It’s adaptable for Roadmaster tow bars with adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5, and for Demco tow bars with adapter DM9523041 (sold separately). That flexibility makes it easier to keep using the gear you already have.
The distance between brackets is 24", and bracket height is 11". Those measurements help you match tow bars and accessories accurately so everything lines up as it should for consistent, safe towing every time you hit the road.

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?
