• Base Plate Kit and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  With the Roadmaster Sterling, part # RM-576, I recommend the MX kit, part # 3154-3, for a base plate kit that fits your 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. The safety cables of the Sterling won't fit with these but you can attach the cables somewhere else on the truck. The wiring kit to power the truck's lights that I suggest is the diode kit, part # RM-15267. It provides a 6-way connector at the front of the truck and a cord to connect the RV's 7-way to that 6-way. For a supplemental braking...

• Recommended Supplemental Braking System to Flat Tow a 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche
  I prefer a supplemental braking system that installs into your 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche. The Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 is the easiest system to use, in my opinion, because after the initial instiall you just flip a switch to set it up when you're ready to tow.

With a braking system you'll also need a Brake-Lite Relay # RM-88400 to keep the Avalanche's...
