Before you hook up to your bumper you'll want to confirm with Ford that your specific bumper is rated for flat towing. To my knowledge the D-Rings on the Modular bumper are only for recovery purposes. If you have their approval you'll just need to measure the D-Ring thickness. The Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters # BX88357 are designed to fit D-Rings that are 7/8" thick.

If you get word from Ford that your D-Rings are not useable for flat towing then you would need to go with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU23XR instead.

If you plan on using Blue Ox baseplates then I recommend going with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase them separately and has an adjustable heak and shank to help stay level without the need of a high/low adapter.

As for the lighting you will need to know what what kind of tail lights you have to pick the correct kit. For variable voltage LED's you'll need part # RM38FR. For variable voltage incandescent bulbs you'll need part # RM26FR. For standard lights you can use a universal kit like # RM-15267.

The braking system you'll need is going to depend on the motorhome's braking system. If you have air brakes then the best option from both an installation and performance perspective is the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink # DM26VR. If you have hydraulic brakes then the best option is the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink Monitor # DM86VR.

Both of these systems are a one-time installation that require no setup once installed, just get in and go. These both offer proportional breaking to match the amount of force you put on the brake pedal in your motorhome.

If you have any other questions then please let me know and I can help find the correct parts for whatever you need.
