You are definitely on the right track! Here are the parts you will need for flat towing your 2018 GMC Acadia:

Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - # RM-523189-5
Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar - # RM-676
Towing Combo Kit - # RM-9284-2 (comes with wiring, storage covers, and locks)
InvisiBrake - # RM-8700
Stop Light Switch Kit - # RM-751483

Most flat towing setups require a high-low adapter for the tow bar to remain level while towing. I have linked our selection of adapters for you to check out as well as an article that will help you determine which is the best one for your application.

You may also be interested in the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 to help block road debris that might be kicked up by your motorhome.

Don't forget to reference your copy of the owner's manual to ensure that you set your Acadia up correctly when you get ready to flat tow it!
