Attachment Tabs:
Motorhome mount tow bars are recommended for use with this baseplate. Due to the design of the removable
tabs, the RangeFinder II, 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 for the BX8833 and the BX88151,
can not be used with this baseplate.
Instructions:
The front fascia, blinker assemblies, styrofoam bumper and lower air dam are removed and reinstalled during
the baseplate installation. Drilling is required. Some vehicles fascia’s may need trimming.
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 ling a hole slightly, bending electrical rods,
and/ or bending end plates.
The Bx8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is recommended for this vehicle.
