I looked at the online owner's manual for your 2017 Buick Enclave and found (on page 298) that there were 3 fuses that are recommended to be pulled for when you flat tow your vehicle. Because of this I recommend installing the Blue Ox # BX88274 and the Roadmaster # RM76514 to help make this process much easier.
For the wiring kit to activate the lights on your Enclave I recommend the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. Once this is installed you will only know it is there by the 6-Way connector at the front of your vehicle. This kit is very easy to attach to your motorhome and you can actually add the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to keep your battery from draining (which may mean you don't need the fuse disconnectors).
A complete flat towing setup includes a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
