The baseplate kit we have to fit your 2017 GMC Sierra 2500 is the Roadmaster MS Base Plate Kit # RM-3180-2. These are custom fit for your truck. For a compatible tow bar I suggest the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All-Terrain # RM-422. The BlackHawk 2 AT fits into the 2 inch receiver at the back of your RV. It connects to the MS Base Plates using included pins and clips. I've attached a video for you to check out.

You'll also need safety cables, like # RM-653.

For lighting you can use the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK. These completely bypass the wiring of your truck by connecting directly to the RV's trailer connector.

Most states require a supplemental braking system in vehicels being flat towed. The easiest system we carry to use is the Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. The install is more involved than some other systems but after that you just flip a switch when you're ready to tow.

Finally, you'll likely need a high-low adapter. This will keep your tow bar level with the connection on your Sierra. I've linked our selection so you can choose the correct adapter. There's also a help article to help you determine the correct rise or drop that you need. As well as some other articles that may be helpful to you.
