Installation Instructions
405-0216 Rev. B Page 3 of 9 1/26/12
Attachment Tabs: 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 cars 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, BX88262 and
BX88151, can not be used with this baseplate.
Installation Notes: The fascia, belly
pan and front bumper are all removed for
installations. Trimming of the fascia, belly
pan, tube bracket and frame webbing are
required. Some drilling may be required.
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 cars 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,
BX88262 and BX88151, can not be used with
this baseplate.
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 BX8848 Wiring Kit is recommended for
this vehicle.
1. Remove six push pins on both sides of the
vehicle (white arrows) and one push pin from
