Question:
I intend to outfit my 2024 Chevy Equinox RS with a RM Direct Connect Baseplate and use a RM Nighthawk tow bar. My RV measures 18 inches from ground to the middle of the receiver. Do you happen to know whether I can expect to need a hi-low adapter with this configuration? Also, does RM make adapters that can also accommodate a telescoping flag pole or Starlink mount?

Expert Reply:
No, you shouldn't need one. When the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM-523193-5 is installed on the 2024 Chevy Equinox RS it measures 15-3/4" from the ground to the center of the arms. In order to be considered level the tow bar needs to be within 3" of the base plate arms.
I checked Roadmaster's website and didn't see any adapters for a flag pole or Starlink mount. The best I can offer is the Camco Hitch-Mounted Flagpole Holder for 2" Hitch Receivers item # CAM51611.
