The installation instructions to install the Blue OX base plate states that the Acclaim tow bar will not fold and store on the front of the tow car. Is there an adapter that will allow the to happen?

There are certain Blue Ox Base Plate Kits which don't allow the Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar part # BX4330 to be folded up and stored on the vehicle. There isn't an adapter that would allow for this so if storage is a concern a motorhome mounted tow bar like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380 is what I recommend.
