Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I'm sold on this baseplate. Can you suggest a more budget level towbar that would work? I'd like to essentially do a 'package' - baseplate, towbar, safety chains, wiring harness, dioder kit for tow vehicle. My tow vehicle is a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Sport, 2-door, so 4,500 pounds I'd say. We tow occasionally behind a class 'C' motorhome.

Since you already have the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # e98948 picked out as your base plates I recommend the following to complete your set up:
Tow Bar: Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - A-Frame - Car Mount - 5,000lbs Item # BX7322. This hitch will require a 2" ball hitch like Item # C45036. Since you're vehicle weighs approximately 4,500lbs you're going to need to make sure you stay under the 5,000lbs weight limit of this tow bar when loading it with any items. You'll also need some adapters to connect to your base plates Item # e98986.
Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154.
Note: If RV has a 3-wire system (and is not already wired for a trailer connector) a converter is required ( # RM-732 - sold separately)
Brake System: Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39530. This system is a permanent one time set up so it will take a bit of time to install but once it's in you don't have to mess with it everytime you want to flat tow. This braking system will also charge your vehicle's battery while you tow so you don't have to worry about your battery being dead when you arrive at your destination.
Safety Cables: Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables - 7,500 lbs - Qty 2 Item # BX88196
