Expert Reply:
I would be happy to help you find a base plate kit for your 2021 Ram 1500 Classic SLT truck. I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # BLU74FR. This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.
Here is a list of recommendations for other parts you may need to flat tow your Ram truck,
Blue Ox Avail tow bar item # BX7420
Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional item # SM99251 (motor homes with hydraulic brakes)
Demco SBS Air Force One Supplemental Braking System item # SM99243 (motor homes with air brakes)
You may also need a high low adapter to tow level with your motor home. I have attached a link with an article on how to select the right one for your needs.
