Hey Jon,
I have 5 separate questions from you all asking basically the same thing and I have a previous one for a 2012 Fiat 500. Can you tell me more about what you're wanting for your flat tow setup so I can make a flat tow setup recommendation that will work and check all the boxes for you? What flat towing equipment do you currently have an intend on transferring to the Fiat? Are you still towing with Fiat with the 2021 Thor Daybreak or a different motorhome?
In one of the questions you asked about permanently attaching a Blue Ox tow bar to your Fiat. There isn't a permanent install for their tow bars and you honestly would not want to have them tow bar on the vehicle unless you were flat towing. These tow bars can be easily damaged by objects, rocks, etc. flying up and hitting them and then you have a much larger issue to deal with if it's permanently mounted. Normally the motorhome would block a lot of road debris from popping up and hitting it.
Let me know what you think and I'd be happy to write up a list of parts for you.
