I’m looking for a tow baseplate to tow my 2021 JLU behind my motorhome. Any experiences? Did you install yourself? I’m hoping to replace my front bumper at the same time, anyone do that?

Following this.... We ordered the JCR Crusader mid-width bumper and intend to use the Roadmaster d-ring adapters (thus no baseplate in theory) and one of their towbars. Since we don't have the parts yet (January!)..... can't tell you how it'll work. Looking forward to hearing of others experiences.

That was my plan too but my motorhome is very low compared to the JLU. I’m afraid the angle may cause a problem. The baseplate is at least 6 inches below D rings. I’m looking for some real world experience.

I have 2dr Rubicon with steel bumpers I use BlueOx to flat tow behind RV Great system in use for three years and 10000 miles of towing no problems

Last two I used the Blue Ox base plate, installed by RV dealer. On this one I installed the Maximus 3 tow loops. I thought it was an easy install. I'm using the Blue Ox tow bar I had but it does require buying new ends. In total is a bit less than the Blue Ox base plate and it doesn't hang down.

I installed the Maximus 3 tow loops on my 2dr Rubi and love them. Towed behind our '21 Winnebago View flawlessly.

Did you leave your stock bumper?
I did. Mopar steel bumber in my case. Minor alterations required accomplished with a hole saw and angle grinder.

I also went with the Maximus 3 loops & really like them. I've had Demco and Blue Ox base plates on previous toads & IMO the tow loops are even more robust. The install was very easy (even for me) as I'm below average in the wrench department. I have the plastic sport bumper so bumper and air dam required trimming. I'm towing with Ready Brute Elite w/steel clevis's. The clevis's are also very robust.
