Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Nissan Versa with Demco Tow Bar
Question:
I am looking for a base plate for a 2017 Nissan Versa that would fit a Demco Dominator. Any suggestions? I would also like to add the Air Force One braking system. Starting from scratch so I will need all components. Car will be pulled with a rig with air brakes. Thanks.

For your 2017 Nissan Versa the base plate kit you need is the part # RM-52357-4A which is a confirmed fit. To use it with a Demco tow bar you would need the part # RM-033.
For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
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.
The SMI Air Force One part # SM99243 will work well with this vehicle and your RV that has air brakes.
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.
