Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2022 Chevy Spark Behind a Motorhome
Question:
I see you have a base plate kit for my 2022 Spark LT with the manual transmission (I don't have the ACTIV so it will fit). What else would I need to flat tow behind my motorhome?

In addition to the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-523202-5 you will need a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, a braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter so that you can flat tow your 2022 Chevy Spark behind your motorhome. I will list my recommendations below:
Roadmaster Base Plate Kit - # RM-523202-5
Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar - # RM-676 (this comes with safety cables)
Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes - # RO94FR
Quick Battery Disconnect - # RM-766 (optional)
Brake Kit - Part # DM86VR for motorhome hydraulic brakes OR part # DM26VR for motorhome air brakes
High-Low Adapter - See attached selection and helpful article
I really like the Roadmaster base plate kit and the Nighthawk tow bar combination because it's not only a great looking setup but it is easy to use and the LED lights on the tow bar let everyone on the road know that your vehicle is being flat towed. The safety cables and wiring are also ran through the arms of the tow bar to make everything easy and neat as well. The tow bar also comes with some wiring already which is why you just need the simple wiring kit and then the brake systems that I recommended install in such a way that they are always on your vehicle but you won't notice they are there. That way it's a simple process to get your vehicle ready to tow.
Be sure to check out your owner's manual for any specifics when it comes to flat towing.
