Hello Mark,

Happy to get the flat tow components for your 2018 GMC Canyon Diesel Denali to flat tow behind your Diesel Pusher. I am going to include all parts, making sure to include the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bars.

- Base Plate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523182-5

- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 (safety cables are included, cord from coach to towed vehicle, and 6 way socket for the front of your Canyon)

- Wiring: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152 (this will get your blinkers and brake lights working)

- Charge Line: Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25

- Battery Disconnect (if you have 2 batteries, you will need one for each): Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System - Diesel # RM93MR

- Brake Light Switch: ***If the brake lights do not work with the towed vehicle's ignition key turned to the "tow" position, you need a brake light switch kit to provide a signal to the supplemental braking system. Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751472

- Braking System: Since you have air brakes, Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes - Wireless Monitoring - Proportional # DM26VR

- Protector: Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screen for Towed Vehicles # RM-4750

With this package you will be ready for the Road to Adventure. I included some helpful install videos, as well as a help article on the "Must-Have Flat Towing Components," it is a good read whether you are new to the flat tow world, or a good refresher for a seasoned flat tower. If you have any questions about any of the parts, please ask away! That is what I am here for =)

Do you have your first big trip planned when you get things all set-up? Where are you headed?

Hey Mark, How exciting that you're getting everything set up to flat tow your Canyon! Did the Roadmaster Nighthawk system and all the other components work out for you? I'm curious because it could really help others who are looking to do the same.
