Choice between Blue Ox and Roadmaster - both can work with this..
Shop around for prices... and decide whether you want to install or have it done... (The base plate and a permanent brake system can be some work depending on car/choice...)
Basics are (with links to show some choices):
Base Plate: https://www.etrailer.com/towbar-2016_Kia_Soul.htm
Tow Bar: https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Tow...unt_Style.aspx (I have the Falcon All Terrain)
Brakes and Light Kits: https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Tow...g_Systems.aspx (I have the Invisibrake - permanent install)
Drop Hitch: (just a guess that the Kia will be much lower than motorhome... want a MAX of 3" rise/drop in towbar) https://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Acc...h_Adapter.aspx

Misc: Safety chains/cables, locking hitch pin, locks (to replace spring clips if desired)
