Blue Ox Base Plates & Wiring For Flat Towing 2023 Chevy Equinox Behind Motorhome
Question:
I need to make my 2023 Chevy Equinox ready to tow behind my Class C RV. I need a Blue Ox base plate for the car and all of the wiring kits required. I already have a Patriot Brake System for the floorboard that connects to the brake pedal. Can you help me by providing kit names, part numbers , pricing and what those kits are for? Looking forward to your response. Thanks - Eddie

Thank you for the quick response. I still have a couple of questions. #1- How do I provide power to the Patriot Brake Unit that will be mounted to the brake pedal? On my Terrain, I had a cigarette lighter receptacle wired to the car and the plug wired to the Patriot Brake. I also had a positive & negative that plugged into the unit. I assume that the wiring had something to do with the Breakaway switch kit. Can you help me with this? I can take care of the cigarette lighter arrangement but if I need the Breakaway kit, can you provide the part number please? Thank you - Eddie
