Thanks for the information Kevin! To flat tow your 2025 Ford Bronco with a standard bumper and LED lights, I recommend the following parts:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect item # e84ZR

Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM79RR

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM38FR

Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes

Charge Line Kit - Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Line Kit for Demco Air Force One and Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking Systems item # DM66VR. This is the best way to add a charge line, however it is only compatible if you use one of the Demco braking systems like the ones linked above.

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.

I linked quite a few installation videos for the parts I recommended so you can see how to get them set up and what they'll look like installed. You can find them below the parts in the section label Featured Help Information.

What specific Class C motorhome do you have?

You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

I have a Class C Forest River Forester 2441ds. If I decide I'm not comfortable with the install, do you have recommended installers near Johnson City, TN. Thanks so much, Kevin

@KevinJ We sure do and you're welcome! That's such a pretty area. I went to Bristol years ago for the night race and had a great time! If you go to the product page of the Roadmaster item # RM79RR and scroll down below the pics on the left side you'll see a link that says, Locate installers near me. Go ahead and click on it and it will take you to a page where you'll be able to enter your zip code. Once you do this you'll be connected to our network of reputable installers in your area.

@JerredH Hi Jerred, I finally got my RV out of the shop. My RV hitch is about 5.5 inches lower than factory tow hooks. I assume baseplate will be approximately the same height. So, I think I will need a 6" high/low adapter. Should I order base plate and get installed and remeasure? Also, which high/low adapter would you recommend? Thanks, Kevin

@Andy Thanks for the information Andy. It looks like you're setting up a flat tow for a Ford Bronco. If you're needing a high/low adapter I've got a couple of options for you depending on how far off the ground the hitch receiver is on your Forest River. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM79RR sits 16" - 17" off of the ground depending on what tires you have. The best way to get an accurate measurement before installing them is to measure from the center of your tow hooks because that's where the baseplate is going. Your Forest River's hitch needs to be within 3" of the height of the item # RM79RR baseplate. Our etrailer item # e85ZV provides 2" of rise or drop and our etrailer item # e25ZV provides 4" of rise or drop. You'll want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the ground and compare that distance to the one you get from your Bronco.
