Since there are so many variations when it comes to both the motorhome and vehicle there aren't any all-in-one style flat towing packages, but I'd be more happy to list out all of the components that you would need to flat tow your 2016 GMC Canyon.

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523182-5.

Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables attached to the arms of the tow bar so you won't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. The head and shank offer a bit of adjustability to help keep the tow bar level as well, unlike most other tow bars.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This splice-in diode kit will tie into the wiring for your Canyon's tail lights to properly display your motorhome's traffic signals and keep you street legal.

Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. This permanent install system will provide proportional braking for your Canyon and help reduce wear and tear on your motorhome's suspension.

You will need to disconnect the battery cable in order to flat tow your vehicle so I recommend picking up the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766 as well to make it as easy as pressing a button.
