01
DIY or Shop Install?
First question: are you comfortable doing the install yourself? If yes, we'll help you pick the right equipment and send you off with everything you need. If not — or if you'd rather have it done right the first time — bring it to our Chesapeake shop and we'll handle the full installation.
02
Choose the Right Equipment
We'll match you with the right Blue Ox tow bar, vehicle-specific baseplate, wiring harness, and supplemental braking system for your exact motorhome and toad combination.
03
Professional Installation
Our team handles the full install — baseplate mounting, tow bar rigging, wiring, and supplemental braking system — done to spec at our Chesapeake shop.
04
Training & Road-Ready Walkthrough
Before you leave the shop, we walk you through the complete hookup procedure and safe towing practices — hands-on, in person. You'll know exactly what you're doing every time you hitch up.
What We Do
Tow Bar Sales
Exclusive Blue Ox dealer. We'll match you with the right Alpha, Avail, or Apollo tow bar for your specific motorhome and toad combination.
Tow Bar Installation
Full installation including baseplate mounting, safety cable rigging, and breakaway brake system hookup — done right the first time.
Wiring & Lighting
Proper 4-wire or 6-wire tow lighting so your toad's brake lights and turn signals work correctly behind the motorhome.
Supplemental Braking
We sell and install the Blue Ox Patriot, Demco Air Force One, and Demco Stay-N-Play Duo supplemental braking systems — required by law in many states for towed vehicles.
Baseplate Installation
Vehicle-specific baseplate installation on your toad — the foundation that everything else connects to.

Blue Ox Tow Bars
We're an exclusive Blue Ox dealer — carrying the full Alpha, Avail, and Apollo lineup. Call us with your motorhome and toad vehicle and we'll recommend the right model for your setup.
Baseplates
Vehicle-Specific Baseplates
A baseplate is the foundation of every flat-tow setup — engineered for your exact year, make, and model. These are the most common toad vehicles we see in Hampton Roads.
Don't see your vehicle? We install baseplates for hundreds of makes and models. Call us and we'll find the right fit.
(757) 317-3786Supplemental Braking
Brake Systems
Most states require a supplemental braking system when flat towing. We install the Blue Ox Patriot, Demco Air Force One, and Demco Stay-N-Play Duo — three of the most trusted systems on the market.
Tow Lighting
Trailer Lighting Kit
Proper tow lighting is required by law. We install 4-wire and 6-wire harnesses so your toad's brake lights, turn signals, and running lights work correctly behind the motorhome — tested before you leave the shop.
