We have a link to find installers in your area on our product pages. On the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77GR page you can find the link "Locate installers near me" just below the product images which will allow you to see the installers in your are by entering your zip code. I do recommend checking their reviews and contacting to discuss the parts you are looking to install as every installer is different and can have different rates. Here is a list of the other parts I recommend using to complete your conversion.

Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676
Roadmaster Accessory Kit for Nighthawk Tow Bars # RM-9284-2
Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25
Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

You may need a High-Low adapter as well to keep the tow bars within 3" of level while towing. We have them in a 4" # RM-048-4, 6" # RM-048-6 and 8" # RM-048-4 rise/drop. The exact size you will need is hard to say as we do not have a way to know the receiver height on your 2017 Forest River Sunseeker. When we installed the baseplate on a similar Escape we fount the tabs to have a height of 17" which you can use to determine if you will need an adapter and what size.

Please let me know if you have any other specific questions about all the different parts or what to expect.
