Expert Reply:
Since you said you have the Roadmaster Sterling Towbar # RM-576, I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 1187-1A. This will work with all Roadmaster towbars and quick disconnects. This is designed for your 2010 Scion xB with no foglights.
I also recommend the Roadmaster coiled safety cables, part # RM-643.
For lighting I recommend the Tow Ready Diode System, part # TR118821. This splices directly into the vehicle wiring and includes the wiring harness, mounting bracket, and installation hardware.
Most states now require a supplemental brake system. I recommend the Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 because it stays in the vehicle even when you're driving it. You also need a relay # RM-88400 to keep the Scion's lights from overriding the motorhome's.
I have attached some helpful articles about flat-towing and supplemental brake systems you can check out.
