Question:
The RV I purchased is equipped with a Blue OX BX7365 Alpha Tow bar. I purchased a 2008 Chevrolet HHR to flat tow that was equipped with what I believe is a Roadmaster tow base plate. I do not have the removable arms for the tow plate. What are my options to mate the Blue Ox tow bar to the Roadmaster base plate? Base plate pictures are attached.

Expert Reply:
I have probably a better solution, but to make what you have now work you'd need the replacement arms # RM-ARMS and the base plate kit adapter part # RM-032. The reason this isn't ideal is the process for getting the arms take a while since they have to be custom made and by the time you pay for the two parts mentioned you are close enough in price to a base plate kit that fits the vehicle without an adapter. For that you'd want the Blue Ox part # BX1692 and you'd be set. I attached an install video for this as well.
