It just so happens we have a video showing the # BX1690 Blue Ox base plates being installed on a 2011 SRX model, you can view it by clicking the provided link.
If you are towing from a receiver hitch at the rear of your motorhome, I would recommend the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 tow bar, which makes hookup and unhooking much easier and comes with the quick disconnect hardware needed to remove the tow bar from the towed vehicle. The necessary safety cables are included with the tow bar.
Finally, you will need a tail light solution for your SRX. If you will be towing infrequently and running the wires each time is not an issue the E-Z Mount Tow Light Kit, 20 ft. Long Cord, item # RM-2120, would be a good choice. If you will be towing frequently or do not want to run the wires each time, I would recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, item # RM-154, that installs on the vehicle and once installed is ready to plug and go each time you tow the vehicle. We have a video installation for you to review and detailed instructions, see links.
One other item you may want, or need, to consider is a braking system for the towed vehicle. I recommend the Stay-IN-Play DUO, part # SM99251 which is easily setup each time you tow. This braking system is proportional which means it will brake in conjunction with the braking force of the motorhome. The proportional system helps to conserve the brakes on the motorhome and the towed vehicle.
Before towing your SRX you should follow all procedures listed in the Towing section of the owners manual. If you have the Turbo model you should contact the dealer to determine the vehicle towability.
