This base plate kit gives you a dependable setup for flat towing. The fixed draw bars bolt directly to the chassis, creating strong attachment points for your tow bar. The design spreads towing force evenly across the frame to help prevent stress on the suspension, and the durable steel construction is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion over the long haul.
When you’re not towing, this setup keeps the front of your vehicle looking tidy. The low-profile reinforcements and crossbar support beam blend in with the bumper so there’s no bulky hardware sticking out. It’s a straightforward way to keep a clean appearance while still being ready to tow at any time.
Setting it up is simple thanks to the bolt-on design. Everything mounts securely to the chassis with the included hardware—no welding needed. Once installed, you’ve got a solid foundation that stays put mile after mile without extra fabrication.
If your towing setup isn’t Blue Ox, you can still make it work with available adapters. It pairs with Roadmaster tow bars using adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5 (sold separately) and with Demco tow bars using adapter DM9523041 (sold separately). That flexibility helps you connect your existing gear without having to start from scratch.
For planning your setup, the distance between brackets is 24" and bracket height is 14". Those measurements help ensure your tow bar lines up correctly for a balanced connection when you’re ready to roll.

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?
