Expert Reply:
To flat tow your 2016 Ford F-150 with your 2022 Newmar Ventana 4037 motorhome you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420
Base Plate Kit - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BO74FR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Charge Line - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25
Supplemental Braking System - Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System item # SM99243
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.

Hey, how did your flat tow setup for the F-150 and Newmar Ventana come together with the Blue Ox and Demco parts? It’d be great to hear how everything worked once you had it connected. Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up a similar rig.
