Expert Reply:

Yes, but you will need an adapter. You will need a RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Tow Bar Adapter # RM-033 to be able to go from a Roadmaster Classic Base Plate kit # 442-2 to a Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420.

The Aventa comes with safety cables but you may be interested in the following products to complete your towing setup:

Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit # RM-201, this will provide you with an easy way to connect and disconnect the tow bars from the base plates.

For a lighting solution I attached an FAQ article on how to pick out the best solution based on your needs.

Some states require that you have a supplemental braking system when you are flat towing a vehicle. If you need or want one I would recommend the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Proportional Braking System, part # RM-9400.
