I tow a Chevy Silverado pickup. I bought the Blue Ox tow bar and base-plate and complete wiring installed from a Blue Ox dealer for $3,100 in 2013. I cannot imagine inflation has increased that much. IMO you should find a different shop, preferable an independent owner vs a nation-wide chain. IMO Jim is right about checking with U-Haul.
Tow bar/Baseplate Installation at Uhaul. By hark582, April 23, 2012 in Toads-Towed Behind Motorhome.
When I priced tow bars, supplement brakes and installation 18 months ago, Camping World in Katy was surprisingly cheaper than Smitty's Welding and they did a great job installing the tow package. I purchased the Road Master Sterling All-Terrain "aluminum" tow bar, the EZ5 mounting bracket (I didn't want to mess with a cross bar type bracket ...

A good installation and you will be fine, but a bad installation can spell desaster. But as others have said $4,000.00 may be a little steep. My estimate comes up to $2,200.00 for Tow Bar/Base Plates/Brake unit/Wiring kit and aprox. 8 hrs labor at $125.00 per hour= $1000.00 and you have $3,200.00.

I have a 1995 F53 460 Ford with a 36' Bounder towing a 1998 Subaru Forester that has the tow bar attached 12" above the pavement.

We have a Safari motor coach, a 2004 model. For seven years we towed a Saturn sedan with a Blue Ox tow bar and base plate. In 2013, we bought a 2012 Subaru Forester, and had a Blue Ox base plate installed on it. In June 2015, the base plate failed on the Subaru. I contacted the shop that installe...
I just bought a motor home. It came with the Blue Ox tow bar and a Brake Buddy. Now I need to get a base plate for my car (2009 Scion xB, 5 speed manual). I checked with an RV dealer and they quoted me just a few bucks shy of $2000 for the base plate, electrical kit, and toad battery charger wiring kit, and 10 hours of labor.
Posted January 22, 2010. We have a new 42-foot motorhome and are in the decision phase of how to tow. Our towed vehicle will be a 2008 Toyota Sienna minivan, front-wheel-drive. I have a price from a local RV Supply place of about $5,200, for a four-down option, including everything such as an Air Force One braking system w/coach air, lube pump ...
