Base Plate Adapter Recommendation for Duncan TowMatic II to Connect to Roadmaster Base Plate
Question:
I have a Duncan DM7007 tow bar from a previous vehicle. I now have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler unlimited with a stock bumper. Do you have a baseplate that will work with that hitch ?I have the original quick disconnects and base plate on the tow bar. Thank you

We have just what you need. Your Duncan DM7007 is the Towmatic II which we have an adapter that allows it to attach to Roadmaster base plate kits. The adapter is the part # RM-038.
So then for a base plate kit you would want the part # 1429-1 which is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Jeep Wrangler with a standard bumper.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. This will also require the Brake Lite Relay part # RM-88400 as well.
Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
