Hey Bobby, thanks for reaching out!

Choosing a flat tow setup can definitely be overwhelming. I've looked into these setups quite a bit though, and it's actually interesting because I've found that the best setup usually comes from a mixture of different parts since manufacturers tend to be better at different things.

Here are the parts I recommend for you:

- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM38VR
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676
- Wiring Kit # RO44FR for LED lights OR Kit # RO94FR for incandescent lights
- Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25
- Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400
- Brake Kit # DM86VR for hydraulic motorhome brakes OR Kit # DM26VR for air motorhome brakes
- High-Low Adapter - see attached article (bar height is 15-1/2" from the ground)

Roadmaster and Demco have better base plates/tow bars and then Roadmaster has the best wiring kits by far. I really like the Demco brake kits because they install once on your vehicle and then it's a few simple connections from your truck to the motorhome when it comes time to tow instead of having to set up a whole portable system each time you tow.

Blue Ox is an adequate flat towing company, but I tend to lean towards Roadmaster and Demco because of how reliable they are.
