Who Installed your baseplate

I Just bought a Subaru Crosstrek to tow behind the MH.
I am wondering what is the best place to have the Baseplate installed.

  • Decide which base plate you are going to use, then download the instructions. After you read over the instructions you can decide if it is something you hand handle yourself. Mine required a torque wrench. Sometimes a breaker bar or impact wrench may be required to loosen some nuts. Possibly some millimeter wrenches and sockets.
  • I did the first two myself. Not a bad job if you have the time and the tools. Having thoughts of getting a new toad and I think this time I'll let someone else do it. My choice will be the local bump shop as they have taken tons of front ends apart. The tail light wiring I will do.

    I installed ours on the Jeep and how hard can it be with the instructions included? Do you have a friend or neighbor that might be a little more mechanically inclined, before finding someone to give all your money to? If not then do a search for trailer hitch installers in your area. Even CAmping World if you have one fairly close.
    You might want to call Vince at TOWBARS UNLIMITED for more help and a recommendation for a base plate along with prices.
