Hey Jimmy! I would be happy to help you get setup to flat tow your 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss. You will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental braking system. I recommend the following:

-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM86MR

-Roadmaster Falcon 3HD Tow Bar # RM27NQ (Cover # RM-055-3 is optional)

-Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-645

-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-1676-7

-Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes (Qty 2) # RM-792

-Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 (Gas) or # RM93MR (Diesel)

-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # DM86VR

OR

-Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes # DM26VR

The correct brake system depends on whether your motorhome has hydraulic or air brakes. Both are permanent installations which I recommend so you don't have to mess with setting it up every time you're ready to head out. If you would rather have a portable system you can use the Curt RVi Series 4 # RVI44FR which will also require the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332.

The only other thing you may need is a high-low adapter to keep your tow bar level. I went ahead and attached a help article below which explains how to measure and choose the correct adapter.

Any big trips planned with your motorhome once you get everything set up?

Thanks for the info, I have the hydraulic brakes. I’ll review the product/install videos. Hopefully I have this project done by Oct for my trip to Moab. Thanks, again

@JimmyQ happy to help. The Stay-IN-Play Duo # DM86VR is the right brake system for your setup then. Are you headed to Arches National Park? I have always wanted to go there but haven't made it just yet.
