For a tow bar that is compatible with these base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar # RM-520. This tow bar features a quick-disconnect system to allow you to quick and easily mount and remove the tow bar. The telescoping arms help make hook up easier and will... view full answer...

Yes you would need a supplemental braking system when flat towing your 2011 Honda CR-V. The easiest to setup and best performing is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.

Plus the supplemental braking system have breakaway setups that would stop the vehicle if it were... view full answer...
We do offer wiring harnesses for vehicles that will be flat-towed behind a motor home. These are different harnesses than those used when that vehicle is towing a trailer.

Base plates are not an option for the 2017 Nissan Rogue. My suggestion is to use the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes, # RM-2050-1 as this vehicle can not be flat towed.
The benefit of a tow dolly is that they are typically about the same price as a flat towing setup yet require much less install time and are easily transferred to future vehicles.To use a tow dolly with electric brakes the RV will also need a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake... view full answer...

3) Set the parking brake.
4) Hitch Avalanche to tow bar and tow vehicle according to instructions
5) Shift the transfer case into Neutral. (vehicle CAN roll... view full answer...
