240D as a TOAD

Hey, haven't been here for a while. I searched but found very little on setting up a Mercedes as a towed vehicle (TOAD), like behind a RV. Since my 240D is a 4 spd manual which I do not have to worry about the transmission, all I need is set up a base plate for it to hook a tow bar to. The RV already has a class III 2" receiver hitch with a 2" ball and a 1" shaft. That's good to 6,000 lbs I believe and will handle the 240D no problemo. I have a basic tow bar. All I need is the base plate I think. Where can I get a ready made base plate made specifically for the 240D new or used? Or do I need to go custom? Any info appreciated.
