If used with the # BX88297 adapter, the Blue Ox # BX1690 base plate kit is compatible with the Ready Brute Elite II tow bar.

To complete your towing system, you'd need safety cables like # RM-643 if you don't have them already, a taillight diode wiring kit like # RM-152-98146-7. Assuming your vehicle is at factory ride height using the stock tire size, the base plates will sit about 16-1/2 inches above the pavement. If this is more than 3 inches higher or lower than the receiver height on the motorhome, you'll need to use a high/low adapter to bring it within that range. I'll link you to our selection of adapters as well as to a help article that shows how to determine exactly which adapter you need.

I've linked to some helpful videos for the parts mentioned above.
