Question:
I’m ready to purchase a Ford Escape Hybrid Plug in. Will the RM39FR baseplate work with this vehicle? If not, any recommendations?
asked by: Bob A
Expert Reply:
Yes, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM39FR is confirmed to fit the 2022 Ford Escape Hybrid. We even have a helpful installation video created, please note the link below.
For a complete list of items needed:
- Base Plate, Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM39FR
- Tow Bar, Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar, # RM-522
- Safety Cables, Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables, # RM-645
- Wiring Solution, Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-152
- Supplemental Braking will be either the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO, # SM99251 for hydraulic brakes on your motorhome or, Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System, # SM99243 for motorhomes with air brakes.
You may or may not require a high/low adapter for use with your towing set-up. The objective is to have the tow bar set at +/- 3" of level once installed as this minimizes excessive wear on steering and suspension parts. I have included a help article that walks you through how to make the needed measurements to properly determine your needs.
