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.

Not bad. It was easy to mount, took about an hour. It’s Steel so not much to say with regard to it malfunctioning. Seems to be a Demco, at least that’s what the caps say. I bought it cause it looked like it would fit my inexpensive VEVOR tow bar. Had to remove a thin layer of metal so the connector from the tow bar would slip on easy. Pins aligned right up. Tow bar was less than the base plate so I completed this project for very little money compared to having it done. For a big hunk of steel, its really nice!! Recommend it…
Do you have a question about this Tow Bar Base Plate?
