There is indeed a base plate for a 1991 Suzuki Samurai, so long as it does not have a brush guard, but does have front tie-downs. I checked with Roadmaster, and it is also compatible with the Nighthawk, but will need an adapter as it is a crossbar-style base plate. The correct part are the following:
- Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1003-1
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676
- Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Motorhome... view full answer...
The Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1003-1 that you referenced attaches behind your front bumper to the vehicle frame, but the attachment point for the tow bars will be out in front of the bumper.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables... view full answer...
Before you begin purchasing the necessary equipment needed to flat-tow your 1986 Suzuki Samurai, you will want to review the "recreational towing" section of your owner's manual for any certain stipulations when flat towing your vehicle.
In order to flat-tow your 1986 Suzuki Samurai with the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar part # RM-020 you will want to use the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit part # 1003-1. As long as you have the crossbar which connects the two arms of the Tracker tow bar... view full answer...
I have attached the installation instructions for the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit, part # 1003-1 for your 1988 Samurai. Per the instructions the tie-down loops are actually used when installing the base plate. There is no drilling needed per the instructions. This will use existing holes on your Suzuki.
The tow bar I recommend is part # RM-020. For safety cables I recommend part # RM-643.
We do not show any lighting for your Suzuki so I recommend magnetic tow lights like part #... view full answer...
Your Convert-a-Ball 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G can be locked with a padlock like our part # ML4140LH.
You'd pass the shackle of the lock through the locking handle slot and out the hole in the foot of the coupler. This prevents the coupler from being opened, so it can be used while the trailer is hitched or when it's not. Either way, the lock will help deter theft by making it difficult to unlock the coupler. view full answer...
It sounds like you have a bolt pattern of 4 on 4 inch, but the dimension you listed is slightly off from what this bolt pattern is. What you will want to do is measure from one hole center straight across to the hole center opposite of it. If this dimension is right at 4 inches then you do have a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern and all of the rims at the attached link will fit. view full answer...
You are correct. With a 3 terminal solenoid like the # PK5231201, the mounting hardware will serve as the ground connection. A 4 terminal solenoid like the # PK5232401 will require a dedicated ground wire from that additional terminal for this function.
When choosing between the two, I do recommend going with a 3 terminal like # PK5231201, as it simply eliminates the need for a separate ground wire, which will in turn require you to drill another hole into the trailer's frame. view full answer...
The simplest option we currently offer would be the Curt Adjustable Tow Bar # C19745. This bolt-on tow bar would need to be mounted to either the frame or to a reinforced steel bumper and would just require a 2" ball mount connection between the motorhome and the Samurai. view full answer...

We do have an option for a base plate for your 1987 Suzuki Samurai with front leaf springs (with the only exception being if you have a brush guard), though I reached out to Roadmaster who said the # 1003-1 will not fit that chassis. So instead, what you will need is an option from Blue Ox:
- Blue Ox Base Plate # BX3501.
I have added a link below to the installation instructions for you, and in them you can see that the base plate installs to the side of the chassis on the frame rails.... view full answer...

Wherever you use the RV to signal the vehicle's factory lights, diodes will be needed to stop the backflow of electricity. If you are using a set of external lights like part # TL21RK then the diodes will not be needed but since you have the wiring harness attached to your factory lights then you will want to use a set of diodes like part # RM-794.
I have attached a diode installation help article for you to take a look at as well. view full answer...

Per your request, I have attached the installation instructions for the Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit, Item # 1003-1, for your 1988 Samurai. There is no drilling needed per the instructions because you will use the existing holes on your Suzuki. I know you already have a tow bar and you probably have everything else you need for flat towing. However, certain things are needed for safe flat towing besides the base plates and tow bar. You also need safety cables, lighting for the... view full answer...
The way your 1988 Suzuki Samurai is currently setup, you have both combined and separate lighting systems. The combined system means the stop and turn signals are on the same circuit whereas the separate lighting system means the stop and turn signals are on a different circuit. You would need to either choose the separate or combined lighting circuits in order to attach to the RV's wiring.
