For your 2010 Buick Enclave I recommend using the Roadmaster EZ Crossbar Style Base Plate Kit # 523149-1 along with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 and the 6,000 lb coiled safety cables # RM-643.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.
I like recommending the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 because it allows you to also installed the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 from your battery to the middle pin of the 6-Way if you want to run a charge to your battery. You will also need a Fuse Bypass Switch # RM-76517.
The SMI Air Force One # SM99243 that you referenced does come with a coiled quick-disconnect to make setup easier and it gets the air supply from your motorhome. I am not very familiar with the Glad Hand disconnects but in the research I have done I don't think that the quick disconnect for the Air Force One is going to be compatible with your Glad Hands disconnect. You would need to get a hose that it compatible with both or change out the connector on your motorhome.
Most flat towing setups require a high-low adapter for the tow bar to remain level while towing. I have linked our selection of adapters as well as a helpful article that will help you determine which is the best one for your application for you to check out.
It is always important to check your owner's manual for any specific instructions regarding flat towing. I have attached some videos and helpful articles for you to reference as well. We don't have specific shops we work with so we recommend finding a shop nearby that has a good reputation which you can trust.
