Will Blue Ox Tow Bars work with Roadmaster Baseplates for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note Canadian Version

The Roadmaster base plates # RM-52357-4A and # RM-52357-5 are currently the only base plates that will fit your 2015 Nissan Versa Note Canadian version. The U.S. and Canadian versions are made the same. The # RM-52357-5 will sit further back than the # RM-52357-4A, but it is not compatible with a tow bar adapter.

If you plan on using a Blue Ox tow bar like the Avail # BX7420, then you will need a Roadmaster base plate to Blue Ox adapter # RM-032 along with the Roadmaster base plates # RM-52357-4A.

To complete the flat towing setup for your Versa Note you will need tow lights, safety cables, wiring and a supplemental braking system.

For tow lights, the Optronics magnetic tow lights # TLL21RK are great because they are long lasting LED lights and you don't need to tap into any existing wiring. The wiring will allow your Versa Note to accept your RV's tail, brake and turn signals operating as a combined lighting system. You may also need a brake light relay # RM-88400 if the brake lights illuminate when you depress the brake pedal while the vehicle is in tow mode.

For safety cables (if you do not have or are not included with tow bar), I recommend the Roadmaster 64 inch (5.33 feet) # RM-645 because they are heavy duty drop-forged steel and have a capacity of 8,000 pounds.

Lastly, and very important for a flat tow setup, is a supplemental braking system. I highly recommend the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 (will NOT work with Hybrid model) because it's very easy to use and one of our most popular brake controllers we currently offer.

I have included several installation videos and a few informative articles for you.
