According to Roadmaster the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM86MR is going to be a fit for your vehicle and doesn't have any indicators that adaptive cruise control will be an issue with fitment. You will have to remove any tow hooks since these will be taking their place on the frame and Diesel models will require trimming of the air baffles.
If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing equipment then I have the following recommendations for you:
Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates - 6K # e74ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so that you don't have to purchase any separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. The head and shank have a bit of adjustability to help keep it level between the motorhome and Silverado.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into your Silverado's factory tail light wiring to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights of your Silverado.
Since the battery needs to be disconnected in order to flat tow I recommend also installing the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766 in order to make disconnecting/reconnecting the battery as simple as pressing a button.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This system requires a bit of setup each time but is minimally invasive in the vehicle and can be stored elsewhere when not in use to free up space. It comes with a charge line kit to keep the towed vehicle battery charged while towing and a remote that alerts you when the brakes are being applied, as well as allow you to change the brake settings while still in the cab of the motorhome.
If you'd prefer a fixed system that would permanently install in the Silverado then I'd just need to know the year/make/model of the motorhome to determine the correct system to work with the motorhome's brake type.
