There unfortunately is not an adapter available to connect your NSA Ready Brute II tow bar to a Demco branded base plate. You would instead need a Blue Ox base plate like the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1710 and the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Ready Brute Elite Tow Bars # BX88297 to make them compatible with each other.
You'll also need a tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables to complete your flat towing setup for your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500. If you haven't purchased these items then I have the following recommendations for you.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit allows you to use your Chevrolet Silverado 1500's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV.
Since you'll need to disconnect the negative battery cable to tow your Silverado I recommend installing the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect # RM-766 to make this as simple as flipping a switch.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This system offers intense, emergency braking or steady, smooth braking in a single portable system. Easily switch between proportional or full braking from the cab of your motorhome with the remote. The included charge line kit will keep your Silverado's battery charged while you tow.
Safety Cables: Roadmaster 80" Coiled Safety Cables # RM-653. The coiled design of these cables will help prevent them from dragging on the ground and being damaged.
