To connect your etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e86YR to your Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 you'll just need adapters # e98983. The two-pronged side will connect to your tow bar while the single-prong side will connect to the tabs on the baseplate arms.
If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components 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 will splice into the tail light wiring of your F-150 to display your motorhome's traffic signals through the tail lights.
F-150's will typically have the brake signal override the turn signal so you'll likely also need to install a Brake Light Relay Kit # RM-88400. The brake light switch wire you'll need to tap into is going to be purple/white.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524. This system is portable so you'll be able to take it with you to any other cars you want to flat tow and is compatible with all motorhome brake types. It includes a remote that will allow you to see when the brakes are being depressed and alter your brake sensitivity/mode from the cab of your motorhome. It also includes a charge line kit to keep your F-150's battery charged, which is important since yours will drain while being towed.
If the motorhome doesn't have a charge line ran for the 7-way then you can use the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75.
Safety Cables: Roadmaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643. The coiled designed will help keep the cables up off the ground and keep them from getting damaged.
