• Flat Towing Component Recommendations for 2015 Chevrolet Equinox and 2015 Tiffin Allegro Bus
  My recommendation for base plates for your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox is the Blue Ox # BX1689 since this set-up features twist-lock draw bars that secure without pins, which can get lost.

• Is a Base Plate Kit Available Without the Removable Arms for a 2001 Chevrolet Tracker
  All of the base plate kits we sell come with the removable arms. Base plate kits are made with a specific set of removable arms at the factory, so no set of arms is completely identical.

• Why Can Optronics Magnetic Tow Lights Only be Used with Vehicles Under 80 Inches
  There are certain lighting requirements for vehicles or trailers that are over 80 inches wide that magnetic lights such as # TLL21RK cannot provide. You would need front and rear clearance lamps that are mounted at a 45 degree angle (PC rated). So if the back of the vehicle was a square for example, the light would be at the corner pointed half way between the side and the rear of the vehicle. They need to be placed as high as possible. You also need rear identification lamps (3) centered...

• Troubleshooting Magnetic Tow Lights That Do Not Display Brakes But Do Display Turn Signals
  A set of 4-pole-equipped magnetic tow lights such as the Optronics # TLL21RK will carry both turn signal and brake lights on the same wires. The green wire carries right turn and brake signals and the yellow wire carries left turn and brake signals. The brown wire carries running lights. Since one of the functions on these two wires is working and the other is not the problem would appear to lay upstream of the lights, on the motorhome side. I also do not know if you are using some type...

• Both Turn Signals Blink on MaxxTow Tow Lights # MT70097 When Tow Vehicle Signals Are On
  If both the left and right turn signals on your MaxxTow Tow Lights MT70097 blink when either turn signal is activated on the tow vehicle the first thing to check is the condition of both connectors. Since the left- and right-turn signal circuits on a 4-pole are adjacent to each other (green and yellow wires), it is possible that corrosion in the connector can cause these two separate circuits to become bridged together. This condition could also explain the dim light output, since two...

If you're able to utilize your truck bed to carry your e-bikes,...
