I have a cart listed with parts that I think I need for what Im trying to accomplish for a complete installation. Can you tell me from what I have in my cart will work, and if Im potentially missing anything? The only thing that I have not included is a -down trailer hitch for my 2018 Thor Windsport My Shopping Cart Contents Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms - BLU77XR Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems - DM66VR Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord - RM-152-98146-7 Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 8K - RM-677 Roadmaster Bent Electrical Socket Bracket - RM-910030-5 Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - HM39494

You picked out some great parts so we'll go through each to ensure they're right for your 2023 Ford Ranger.
The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU77XR and Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-677 are a great tow bar and baseplate combo.
Since the Nighthawk tow bar comes with the 6-pole socket and cable you won't need the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7, and instead would just need the diodes and wiring with part # RM-154. The Roadmaster Bent Electrical Socket Bracket # RM-910030-5 will give you a nice sturdy bracket to connect your 6-pole socket to.
The Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494 is a very easy to use portable system and actually comes with a vehicle charge line kit included so you won't need the Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems # DM66VR. You may however need the motorhome side charge line # RM-156-75 if your motorhome doesn't already have a line ran to the 12v accessory pin on the 7-way.
With all these items you should be good to go and can use our installer locator link below to find a nearby installer.
