For a 2023 Chevy Equinox RS with a Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 you'll need the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-523193-4.

For the wiring I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This splice-in wiring harness will allow you to display your motorhome's brake and turn signals after an easy one-time installation.

For the braking system I recommend the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This portable system requires setup each time, but should only take a few minutes to complete. It comes with a remote that alerts you when the brakes are depressed and also allows you to switch from proportional to a setting braking intensity all from the cab of your motorhome. It also includes a charge line kit for your Equinox to help keep the battery charged while you tow.

You'll also need some safety cables, for this I recommend the RoadMaster 68" # RM-643. The coiled design of these cables will help keep them up off the ground and prevent them from dragging.
