@Tom For a 2016 Buick Enclave you'll need the following components: Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1708. Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR. This tow bar includes safety cables and has a built-in rise/drop to help keep it level. Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will transfer your motorhome's light signals back to the tail lights of your Enclave. Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. Since the brake light switch on your Enclave isn't useable you'll need to install a stop light switch kit # RM-751221 for the indicator light of this system. If your motorhome has air brakes then you'll want to go with the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead. You also need to remove the 15 amp ECM and OnStar fuses as well as the 50 amp BATT1 fuse in order to flat tow. I Recommend installing the Roadmaster FuseMaster # RM76514 and # RM-76517 to make disabling the fuses as simple as flipping a switch.

@KevinC The brakes are hydraulic. I saw a video and I might be better off having my mechanic install everything. Thank you for the kit and part numbers. V/r, Tom
