Simple, Tabless Design
Setting up these tabless base plates for use with your Demco tow bar is fast and easy. They easily bolt onto the ends of your tow bar. And because the tabs remain on your tow bar at all times instead of protruding from your vehicle, your car maintains a clean look when it's not being towed.
Easy Hookup and Disconnect
Using the Demco Tabless base plates to attach and remove your tow bar couldn't be easier. With the base plate tabs attached to your tow bar arms, simply insert the tabs into the receivers on your vehicle and twist to lock them in place. Insert the included pull pins to add an extra layer of security, ensuring the tabs stay put. To remove each arm, simply tug the pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the tow bar arm, and pull the tab out of the bracket.
Receiver Covers
Keep dirt and debris out of the base plate receivers with the included covers. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached. Limiting internal corrosion makes it easier to slide the tabs in and out and helps to prevent seizing so that the tabs don't get stuck.
Tow Bar Adapters
Demco makes adapters for use with other tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

Have had Demco baseplates on two prior vehicles - very satisfied!
One caveat, though, and it applies to the Chevy Equinox: The mounting points are two thin layers of sheet metal tacked together to form the "frame rail", which make for a pretty weak, scary installation. I added an extra piece of metal plate to the backside of the rail. And be sure to install the safety cables that come with the baseplate, just in case!

Chevrolet Equinox
I purchased this as part of a package which included; Hitch and wiring for my 2022 Equinox, Base plate, Tow Bar, brake System and connecting air hose, break away cables, LED tow lights with wiring harness, and a trickle charger to keep the Equinox battery from going dead while I was towing it behind my class A RV.
I had etrailer do the install of all the components on my car and RV. All the workmanship was excellent and done in the amount of time they said it would take. Also because they did not have a video of this equipment being put on this year and model vehicle, I gave them permission to make a video(which added a extra day and a half to the install)and the installation was free. Everything has worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Etrailer is my go to for anything towing and also RV parts.

The video that etrailer had for the installation of this towbar was awesome. The only hitch was the brackets were mislabled (passenger and driver side were switched), but the video helped show how everything worked and how it should look. Goes very smooth with a helper!

Superb, timely, same-day support from Demco when I ran into installation difficulties. The attach method is also very solid and has internal safety cables as stock, unlike some other baseplate manufacturers. (These are different from the safety cables you hook to your vehicle. These will hold the baseplate to the frame if the baseplate breaks away from the car for any reason so you don't lose the car.)

I loved the feature of Removable arms and keeping them on the towbars. It makes connecting so much faster and easier.
I also like how the Plate is so much more out of site in my car. It’s all a much cleaner look.

I have purchased few items from etrailer and I was always very satisfied with your website, customer service and delivery on time.

This base plate is of exceptional value and construction. It was fairly easy to install on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler by myself but would have been quicker if I had an extra set of hands. Overall I am extremely happy with how the base plate looks and the customer service was above and beyond expectations. I would recommend the base plate and you don't have to look anywhere else than etrailers for what you need.
by: Geoff04/07/2022
Relatively easy to install, works great, less obtrusive than other brands. Instructions are clear, quality is good. Shown with knuckles removed. As you can see, I had to improvise to mount the coiled cord socket and breakaway switch.
by: Rodger04/29/2023
Love it,my bumper wasn't rated for towing so I had to go this route. Pleased it fit fine with the aftermarket bumper.
by: Wecusa5207/10/2024
Exact replacement for our broken one. Your installer recommendation of Montana trailer services is spot on.
John Bell is the owner and sole person. He is terrific. Did excellent quick job, he is knowledgeable and noted prior installer left off safety cables. Recommend him to all. Thank you
by: Jerry J01/23/2021
I recently completed a DIY installation of the Demco Tabless Base Plate on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Installation is fairly straightforward following the etrailer.com videos. A couple gotchas on the videos.
First, one of the videos suggests removing a sheet metal plate to provide easier access. While it does make for easier access during removal of the bumper, you should reinstall it BEFORE installing the base plate. If you install the baseplate first, there is insufficient clearance for the bolts that hold the sheet metal plate.
Second, the videos show reinstalling the plastic air dam after reinstalling the bumper. At least on my 2021 Wrangler there is NO way you could do that without seriously bending, and possibly breaking the plastic dam. Reattach the dam to the bumper BEFORE reattaching the bumper. Clearances for rebolting the bumper are sufficient. I did it without a lift (thank goodness for the Wrangler’s high ground clearance).
Bottom line is it’s a bit of a project but looks great.
by: Timmy04/11/2024
I've used this setup for a year towing a 2023 Jeep Wrangler . I 100% recommend it for anyone else. Under normal conditions it is very easy. Under stressful conditions (bad weather, uneven terrain, need to connect/disconnect quickly) it is a life saver.
I am 63 and I can connect/disconnect this in 5 minutes.
by: Rob 07/23/2024
Great customer service. I love the fact that there is actually someone on the other line who is willing to talk you through the features and options of their products.
The products ordered for this particular job worked exactly as they said they would.

Installation went well! The pictures in instructions are a bit hard to decipher! Using it in a few days. It is a replacement my last CR V 2003 was totalled in an accident had a Blue Ox before seems comparable!

No issues, they work as expected.

I can’t say enough good about how great etrailer customer service is! Our trip was nearly a complete disaster after having a tow plate added to my jeep. We had planned to tow the Jeep and drive back to Maryland from Texas. After hours on a Friday night we found that the connectors were missing but we had to get on the road anyway, so my son drove the RV with my granddaughter and I followed, driving the Jeep. We kept trying to reach the installer but it was the weekend so we rented a U-Haul. Once we were able to ride together, we called etrailer. The parts we needed were expedited to my son’s home and now we can proceed to my grandson’s soccer tournament without having to use the U-Haul! THANK YOU ETRAILER FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE and saving the family trip.

See what our Experts say about this Demco Tow Bar Base Plate
- Are There Replacement Baseplate Adapters Available For A Roadmaster Eagle 8000 Tow Bar I spoke with Roadmaster and unfortunately the Eagle 8000 tow bar has been discontinued for 15+ years so there are no longer any compatible replacements available for it. If you didn't want to have to purchase newer tow bar then you would need to use a Demco baseplate like the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519332. This baseplate will require you to trim/remove the lower active air shutters in order for it to fit, just like you would with any other baseplate.
view full answer... - How Does the Demco Stay-N-Play duo Get Power From a Vehicle That Has the Battery DisconnectedThe Stay-N-Play Duo # SM99251 you're looking at will get power from a charge line kit # RM-156-25 which goes from the motorhome to the vehicle battery and will send power while the battery is disconnected using # RM-766. To finish your flat towing setup, you're also going to need a base plate kit # DM9519332, a wiring harness # RO94FR, and a tow bar # RM-676.

The short answer is you should already have all of the parts you need: The baseplate for the 2018 Chevy Equinox ( # DM9519332) is the Demco tabless baseplate. The 2015 Demco Commander will need to have the clevis ends removed and the baseplate # DM9519332 came with new ends to replace on the tow bar.
