Hey Mitch, yes that is something that we do! You will have to call in to our customer service department to get everything ironed out though.
Do you already have your setup or are you also needing that as well? If you don't you're going to need:
1. A base plate, like the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-52289-5,
2. A braking system, like the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System # BLU37TR with the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332,
3. A set of tow bars, like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676, &
4. A wiring harness, like the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-154.
Let me know in the comments if there is anything else I can do for you!
