First Dave, you will need the Base Plate # 4421-1 to mount to the front of your 2011 Ford Flex. This will allow you to connect to your 2013 Winnebago Tour 42QD using a Tow Bar # RM-676 and Crossbar # 910021-00. You will likely need a Hitch Adapter # BLU28XR to keep the tow bar within 3" of level from your receiver to the front of your Flex. We found the base plate to have a connection height of 18" when installed so you will need to compare this with the receiver on your Winnebago.

Next you are going to need the Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 which is going to contain most of the wiring you need as well as other covers, lube and other parts you will need. Then we have the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to ensure the braking system does not drain your battery while being flat towed. Finally we have the Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System # DM26VR which will tie into the air brakes ono your Winnebago so the brakes on your Flex are only activated when you brake.

Hey Dave, how did your flat tow setup go with the base plate and Nighthawk tow bar on your Ford Flex? Were you able to get the tow bar level with the hitch adapter? Sharing how it turned out could help others setting up a similar rig.
