Hello David,
Definitely happy to get you a nice set up for your 2022 Ram 1500 Bighorn 4x4 to tow behind your 2013 Entegra Coach Aspire. When I look up the specs for the Bighorn I see that it can come in a 3.6L or a 5.7L, sometimes the internet is wrong (I am sorry if I am the first breaking this news to you, shocking I know) so if you happen to have the 3.0 EcoDiesel V6 with lower Active Air Grille Shutters please let me know.
- Base Plate - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-522203-5 (the # RM86DQ you were looking at is for the 2025 model).
- Tow Bar - Roadmaster Sterling All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576 are rated for 8K, I see that the Bighorn's heaviest option is 5,320 lbs so just as long as you are not overloading your truck with heavy stuff while flat towing these will be great. Nice thing about these tow bars is that your safety cables, cord to go from RV to truck, and the 6 way connector for the vehicle end are included.
- Wiring - Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152.
- Braking System - Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes - Wireless Monitoring - Proportional # DM26VR without wireless monitoring system # SM99243.
- Brake Light Relay - Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400, there is a series of questions that I have attached that you will want to go over to see if you require this or not.
- Charge Line Kit - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25, this is to ensure that when you get to your destination your battery will not be dead.
I have included some review/install videos for you to check out, a great reference if you plan on doing the install yourself. If you have any questions about any of the parts please feel free to comment them below.
With this set-up you will be ready to hit the road to make some awesome memories! Do you have your first trip planned after you get things set up? If so, where are you headed to?

Hey David, how did your flat tow setup for the Ram 1500 behind your Entegra Coach come together? I’m curious if the Roadmaster base plate and Sterling tow bar paired up smoothly. Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up a similar combo.
