Expert Reply:

The best option for a base plate on the 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BLU74FR which is designed for the Ram Big Horn and will work well with the Blue Ox Avail tow bar part # BX7420. I have attached a video of the Blue Ox Base Plate for your reference. To flat tow the 2018 Ram 1500, you will also need safety cables, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking system and possibly a high low adapter. I have made a list of my recommendations for other parts needed to flat tow the 2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn

Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267
Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional part # SM99251 (motor homes with hydraulic brakes)
Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System part # SM99243 (motor homes with air brakes)
safety cables part # RM-643

Finally you may need a high low adapter to tow level with the motor home . In order to know how much rise or drop it will require to tow level some measuring is required. I have attached a helpful article that helps you figure out which high low adapter may be needed and our selection of high low adapters.
