For your 1997 4WD 4-Door Geo Tracker, the Roadmaster XL Base Plate # 1007-2 provides a custom fit. The base plate you referenced, # 118-8, works only for the 2-door models of the 1997 Geo Tracker.
For this item, there is no welding required and it is a vehicle-specific base plate that ensures a perfect fit for your Tracker. It is compatible with Quick Disconnects and all Roadmaster tow bars. I have included a photo showing a close-up view of how this product will fit on your vehicle.

You can use a diode kit like # 38955 on your 1996 Geo Tracker but there are several things to consider. First, it looks like your Tracker has turn signals that are separate from the brake and running lights. If this is so then by using a 4 diode kit, all the functions will use the brake/running light bulb and the vehicle turn signals will not be used at all.
If the towing vehicle (RV) has separate bulbs as well and no trailer connector, you would either need to use a tail light converter,... view full answer...

In order to attach the Tow Ready Tow Bar, # 63180, to your Roadmaster base plates, you will need the Roadmaster Base Plate to Tow Ready Tow Bar Adapter, # RM-025. This will allow the two different parts to work together.
The Roadmaster Quick Disconnect Tow Bar Base Assembly, # 910021-00, is for Roadmaster tow bars so it should not be needed, just the adapter and tow bar listed above. I have included a link to the installation details for the tow bar for you.

As a general rule of thumb, trailer tires should be replaced every 6 to 8 years regardless of wear. Even though an older tire might appear to have plenty of tread left on it, dry rot and cracking can cause tire failure.
The mating surface behind the bolt holes should be flat, and should mate perfectly with the face of your hubs.
I would definitely replace the tires before using the trailer again. If the wheels are showing signs of corrosion, I would also recommend replacing them with... view full answer...
We have just what you would need to adapt the Roadmaster base plates on your 1997 Geo Tracker to your Blue Ox tow bar. If the arms of the base plate are removable you would need the part # RM-032 or if the arms of the base plate are not removable you would need the part # RM-033.
The removable arm kit for your vehicle is the part # 1007-2 and the permanently mounted arm kit is the part # 118-15 in case you are unsure what you have. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Classic Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # 118-1 or the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 118-3 are confirmed to fit your 1995 Geo Tracker. Either will work with your Quick Disconnect Plate on your Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar. With either base plate, you will need to buy the complete base plate to utilize your quick disconnect plate and your Falcon 5250 tow bar.

Your vehicle is too old for me to be able to pull up the owners manual online, but if you check the owners manual in your vehicle there should be a section about recreational towing that details whether or not your vehicle can be flat towed and all the steps needed to be taken.
For fixed arms that will always be visible at the front of the vehicle but that also cost less, use # 118-1. For base plates with removable arms but cost more use # 118-3.

Yes, the connection point to add trailer wiring harness # 118372 should be the same on a 1998 and 1999 Chevy Tracker. The connection point is located in the inside of the drivers side tire jack compartment. The plug where you will connect the trailer wiring is just forward of the tire jack compartment.

I may have a solution for you, however the Bestop Duster Deck Cover # B9002915 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 1993 Geo Tracker. It looks like there are enough differences between the 1993 and 1995 model Tracker that this particular cover is not compatible.
For your 1993 Geo Tracker we do have the Bestop Strapless Bikini # B5257015 which is confirmed to fit and will work well. This will replace the factory-original top on the vehicle to provide a canopy over the... view full answer...
According to Roadmaster, their # 117-3 base plates aren't a fit for LSI models of the 1992 Geo Metro.
However, the Blue Ox # BX3506 will fit your vehicle, so that's what I'd recommend. For a compatible tow bar, I'd recommend going with the # e47ZR etrailer brand SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox base plates. The tow bar includes the needed safety cables.
You'll also need a few other items to complete your flat towing system. For a wiring harness so the Metro's taillights work in tandem... view full answer...
With the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 118-8 you actually will want to connect the safety cables like part # RM-643 to the frame of the vehicle so that in case of a problem with the base plate the cable would bypass that and connect to the frame and still be able to grab something. So look on the frame for an opening that you could snag the hook of the chain onto. view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase of the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267.
In regards to diodes, since your RV has separate lighting, and your 1995 Geo Tracker has separate lighting, if you want your Tracker to retain its separate turn and brake signals, you will need a converter and two more diodes.
What you would need is the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 and the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes (Qty 2) # RM-792. view full answer...
I never recommend having different tires on your trailer at the same time. Maybe if one is a spare and you're only using for a short distance in an emergency but not for regular towing by any means. If you're going to change one tire to a 4.80-12 then I recommend changing both of them. The 4.80-12 tires are about an inch smaller in diameter and 3/4 of an inch skinnier so you won't have an issue with clearance.
On the other hand we do carry 145/80R12 size tires. We part # AM10130 which... view full answer...
Dust covers are not available for all models. If you happen to have a 1993 Suzuki Samurai you would need # B9000615. But for a 1993 Suzuki Sidekick or Geo/Chevy Tracker there are currently no options available. view full answer...
If your tow vehicle, the motorhome, has trailer wiring on it already it has the circuits combined as that is the standard way trailer wiring is ran.
That means that for a diode wiring kit for your 1995 Geo Tracker the part # RM-15247 would fit and be exactly what you want without needing any further wiring or adapters. view full answer...
The # RM-732 is the correct adapter to use to go from a separate taillight system like what you have on your motorhome to a combined system like what is on your tow dolly.
For wiring your motorhome with a 7-way you would basically want to follow the wiring directions that are on top of the converter. The right side of the converter is the input side so you will need to test the wiring of your RV with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to determine function and wire it accordingly.

The # C56175 would be installed on your Tracker if you wanted to tow a trailer with it, but it will not work for towing the Tracker behind a motorhome.
To wire the vehicle for flat towing there are several available systems, as you can see in the article I have linked you to. A magnetic towing light kit like # RM-2120 would be an easy to use, easy to install alternative. If you would prefer a permanently-wired alternative, the article outlines how to determine which choice is best for... view full answer...
Yes, Roadmaster base plates # 118-3 will fit your 1992 Geo Tracker 2-door 4x4. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2 # RM-520. I have linked a video review of this tow bar for you. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use a simple kit such as # RM-2120. this kit bypasses the Tracker wiring so you won't have to splice into the tail light wiring.
