We can get you the right parts needed to flat tow your 1987 Suzuki Samurai behind your motorhome, as you'll need a base plate, tow bar, safety chains, wiring kit, and supplemental braking system. I'll make a list for you of the parts you need for your Samurai.

- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1003-1
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520
- Safety Chains: Roadmaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs # RM-155
