Expert Reply:

Flat towing versus trailer towing your 2019 Chevrolet Suburban are each going to have its benefits and drawbacks. First for a trailer you have the benefit of being able to easily change vehicles. Also the cost of tires on a trailer are typically cheaper than tires for your Suburban. The drawbacks are of course having the roof for a trailer both during storage and at the campgrounds. It also typically takes longer to load up a trailer than to hook up to a flat tow vehicle.

To flat tow you are going to need a Baseplate # RM-523179-5, Tow Bar # RM-422, Accessory Kit # RM-9243-3, Charge Line # RM-156-25 and Battery Disconnect # RM-766. You are also going to need a braking system like the Demco Air Force One # DM26VR which is designed for motorhomes with air brakes. If you can tell me what model Fleetwood you have I can verify if you need this or a different system. You may also need a Hitch Adapter # BLU28XR to keep the tow bars within 3" of level from your motorhome to the front of your Suburban.
