Owners manual

Vehicle Weight:
Motorhome mount tow bars are recommended for
use with this baseplate. Due to the design of the
removable tabs, the RangeFinderII, Adventurer,
and Ambassador tow bars can not be used. The
Acclaim tow bar may be used, but will not fold and
store on the front of the vehicle. Adapters, except
the BX8833 and BX88151, can not be used with
this baseplate.
Installation Notes: The fascia and
water reservoir are removed and reinstalled
during installation of the baseplate. Drilling is
required. Trimming of the fascia is required.
The dimensional variations between otherwise
identical vehicles can be considerable.
While the baseplate was designed for easy
installation, it may be necessary to tailor the
baseplate slightly to compensate for auto
manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor
adjustments may include fi ling a hole slightly,
bending electrical rods or bending end plates.
The BX8869 Bulb & Socket Wiring Kit is
recommended for both the 2007-08 models.
