For your 2015 Nissan Juke AWD, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1851. I strongly suggest using the Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength - Up to 3/4" Nuts/Bolts - 0.20-Fl-Oz Tube # LT37420 for this installation.

For your tow bar, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 6,500 lbs # BX7380. This comes with a pin and clip as well as the safety cables you will need. I recommend using the Blue Ox Base-Plate and Receiver Lock Kit - Qty 3 # BX88101 to secure your tow bar to the motorhome and to your Juke.

For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will use your Juke's vehicle wiring while protecting it from overload and will give you a clean 6-way connection on your Juke's front end. This will allow you to utilize the functions of your 7-way connection minus the reverse lights. This connection is made with a flexo-coil wire that will prevent extra length from dragging.

For your supplemental braking, I recommend the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. This system will only need adjustment at install and then becomes a plug and play system. This will give you the braking of your Juke at the same time and with the same amount of pressure as you give the brake pedal in your motorhome. This system will not have any false braking as it activates only when the RV brakes are illuminated. This system will connect directly to your battery and will give you battery a trickle charge from your RV when the running light on the tow vehicle are on.

The last thing you need is a high-low adapter. I have attached an article for you to assist in determining the correct adapter and have linked the page to your options to further assist. This will complete your flat towing setup.
