Flat towing a vehicle behind an RV requires 5 basic components: 1) tow bar, 2) safety cables, 3) wiring kit and 4) base plates and 5) a braking system for the towed vehicle. The linked articles will give you good general background on each of these.

I checked with my technical contact at Roadmaster and they do offer base plate kit # 523149-1 which fits Buick Enclave models (without brushguards) up through the 2016 model year. I suggest their Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520, since it will work perfectly without any adapters. Often a high-low adapter like # RM-076 is needed to keep the tow bar level when hitches to the motor home. I linked you to our main page for these so you can choose the one that gives you the correct rise or drop to keep your tow bar level.

For safety cables you can use the coiled Roadmaster # RM-643; their coiled design keeps them from dragging on the ground. For wiring the simplest option is magnetic lights like # TL21RK. These avoid you having to cut into the new vehicle's wiring. We also offer a wiring extension # RM-300150-00 which gives you 6-feet more if you need it.

Last, for a braking system I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR since it offers easy set-up thanks to its wireless operation and because it is fully portable.
