I think the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1843 is a great choice for your 2015 Nissan Frontier and will pair nicely with the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380.

The Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit # RM-152-98146-7 you purchased is also an excellent choice - I really like the diodes that come with this system.

This means you just need a braking system and possibly a high-low adapter to keep your tow bar level. For a braking kit I really like the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO # DM86VR because it's really easy to setup after the initial installation. Be sure to install the Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400 as well so the brake lights on your Frontier work properly.

For a high-low adapter this can vary depending on the height of the hitch receiver on your motorhome. I'm attaching an article on how to choose the correct high-low adapter for you to check out.

Please note any instructions in your owner's manual. When I checked the online version it said to remove the propeller shaft if you have a 2WD but that a 4WD will need to be towed with all wheels off the ground.
