It sure will. The Curt # C28FR Base Plate Kit is compatible with Blue Ox or Curt base plates (also with Roadmaster and Demco if the correct adapter is used).

You'll also need safety cables like # RM-643, a wiring solution like # RM26FR unless its a Premier model, in which case you'd need # RM-15267 and a supplemetal braking system like the Roadmaster # RM-8700 Invisibrake and a
# RM-751489 stop light switch. If the installed height of the base plate is more than 3 inches higher or lower than the receiver height of the motorhome, you'll also need a high/low adapter. I'll link you to our selection of adapters.

I've linked to some installation videos you might find helpful.
