Question:

I am looking at a Jeep Gladiator for a tow vehicle behind my motor home. I was wondering if you had any base plates that work with aftermarket bumpers. I am looking at the FabFours Matrix bumper. Hoping you might have had other people ask. Thanks

Yes we run into this all the time. Roadmaster has a great solution with the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars part # RM-035-1 for 1" thick d-rings or part # RM-035 for 3/4" d-rings. Basically these will attach directly to the d-rings on the bumper and completely eliminate the need for an additional base plate.

These attach to the end of most Roadmaster tow bars like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights part # RM-676.

There are a few more components to consider to have a complete system. I'll link my top picks for you to check out.

Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Kit part # RM-15267

Finally you may need a high low adapter to tow the vehicle 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.
