asked by: Michael R
Expert Reply:
Yes, it is. A 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 is definitely flat towable behind an RV. To do so you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420
Base Plate Kit - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU22QR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Battery Disconnect Switch - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect Diesel Engines item # RM93MR
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
