Looking at Roadmaster's fitguide the only option is the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 122-1, with the stipulation that it's 2 Wheel Drive and excluding Diesel and 5.7L Engine models.

There currently isn't an adapter to go from a Roadmaster baseplate to a Ready Brute tow bar so you would need to also get a compatible tow bar, like the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e44ZR. This tow bar is going to also come with safety cables so you won't have to purchase them separately.

You'll also need some magnetic lights # TL21RK to display your brake and turn signals from the motorhome.
