You don't have to use the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicles - (2) 20-Amp ATC/ATO Fuses Item # RM76514 and the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass Switch for Towed Vehicles - 50-Amp FMX Fuse Item # RM-76517 to bypass the fuses but they make life easier because you can flip a switch instead of going through the hassle of pulling the fuses each time.

The correct fitting Blue Ox Base Plates are the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # BX1706.

You say you have a Blue Ox system but I don't know if you're talking about the tow bar or braking system. Any of the Blue Ox tow bars will work with the Blue Ox base plates I recommended above but if you haven't gotten one already I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 6,500lbs Item # BX7380.

If you don't have a breaking system yet then I recommend the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39530. This braking system comes with a battery charger to keep your vehicle's battery charged while towing and is a one-time setup.

You'll also need tow bar wiring and some safety cables to complete your flat towing setup.

For tow bar wiring I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit Item # RM-154. This kit is a one-time setup that will tie into your vehicle's tail lights instead of running magnetic lights to the back of your vehicle every time yo want to tow.

For safety cables I recommend the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs Item # RM-643. The coils on these cables will help prevent them from dragging on the ground.

I recommend reading the owner's manual and following every step it has for recreational towing to ensure a safe trip for you and your vehicle.
