Removable Tabs: Motorhome mount tow bars are recommended for use with this baseplate. Due
to the design of the removable tabs the RangeFinderII and Ambassador tow bars can not be used.
Adapters, except the BX8833 and BX88151, can not be used with this baseplate.
Instruction Notes: The fascia is removed and reinstalled for the baseplate installation. Some drilling
and trimming 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 vehicle manufacturer’s tolerances. These minor adjustments may include filing a hole
slightly, bending electrical rods or bending end plates.
The BX8869 Tail Light Wiring Kit is recommended for this vehicle. Location for the BX8869 is on the
driver's side tail light assembly.
