Question:
I have a 2017 Colorado 2.8 duro max 4x4 that I want to tow behind my motor home with air brakes. Can you recommend what I need and options.

Expert Reply:
Yes, I can help set you up with everything you need. Lets start with the base plate and work from there.
Base Plate - Etrailer invisible base plate # e98966.
Tow bar - Etrailer SD non binding # e34ZR.
Tow Bar Wiring - Roadmaster universal diode kit # RM-15267.
Battery Disconnect - Use # RM-766 for gas models, or # RM93MR for diesel models. Please note that some vehicles have more than one battery. One battery disconnect is needed for each starting battery.
Supplemental braking system - Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. You will also need a 12v outlet # RM-9332.
That will cover all main components. You may also need a drop hitch like the # BLU28XR which can be adjusted up to 8" of drop. We do want the tow bar to be level when towing. I always recommend getting a cover # DM9523042 and locking hitch pin # e98882 to protect your tow bar.
I have linked a few of our install videos below if you want to take a closer look.
