Use a circuit tester, included with the kit, to find the correct wires behind the vehicle taillights and splice the...

Recommended Trunk-Mount Single Bike Rack for 2017 Toyota Avalon
I do have a solution for you, however we do not currently have a single bike trunk-mount rack available that is confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Avalon.

Replacement Options For The Rooftop Unit Of A Dometic Penguin II RV Air Conditioning System
If your Dometic Penguin has either a 6-pin or 9-pin connector you can replace the rooftop unit without having to replace the air distribution box or thermostat. If you remove the cover for your air distribution box then you should be able to see the controller and the wire harness that runs from the rooftop unit down to it to see what type of connector it has. If it has a 6-pin connector then you would just need the rooftop unit, if it has a 9-pin connector then it would need an adapter...

Does The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36293, Include A Ball Mount For A Toyota Avalon
On the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36293, there is no mount hole for a hitch ball.

Using Hitch Mounted Bike Rack on a 2014 Avalon Hybrid
We do not design or manufacture the bike racks we sell, you'd need to speak to the bike rack manufacturers about your idea for a trunk bike rack. I've tried to find an online copy of the 2014 Avalon owner's manual to see what exactly they say on the matter, and have been unsuccessful. We're not in the habit of recommending folks ignore advice from the vehicle manufacturer, but I can tell you that many many folks have installed hitches on their Toyota Avalons and Camrys to carry bike racks...

Ground Clearance of Hitch for 2021 Toyota Avalon
The Curt hitch # C11576 will provide 11 inches greater ground clearance from the top of the hitch opening to the ground.
