Expert Answers about Chevrolet Spark
- Tow Dolly Recommendation to Tow 2013 Chevy Spark Behind Motorhome
- I did some checking and the only recommended way to tow a 2013 Chevy Spark behind a motorhome would be with a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. There isn't a transmission lube pump available for your vehicle to anyone's knowledge. The advantage to a tow dolly is it's about the same price as a flat towing setup, takes much less install time, and easily transferred to future vehicles as well.

- Yes, you will want to install the Adapter part # 30717 on your RV. You will plug the 4-way of your RV into the 4-way of this adapter and then the 7-way of your towed vehicle will plug right into the 7-way of the adapter.

- Roadmaster recommends using a 12-volt outlet kit like # RM-9332 wired directly to the vehicle's battery. You can then use the 12-volt accessory circuit from the 7-way on the motorhome to provide a trickle charge to the dinghy's battery.
According to Roadmaster and the owner's manual, there really is no need to disconnect the battery as long as you're getting a trickle charge from the motorhome's 7-way.

- For your manual transmission 2016 Chevy Spark the Demco base plate kit # DM9519326 is the correct base plate to use. Since this is a Demco base plate you would be best served by going with a Demc tow bar since the two products would work together without also having to get an adapter.
I recommend the Commander # DM9511012 which is rated for 6,000 pounds. That'l be plenty for your Spark. The tow bar also comes with safety cables.

view full answer... - Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for 2013 Chevy Spark
- Supplemental braking is required by law when flat towing a vehicle. Even if the vehicle is smaller like your 2013 Chevy Spark.
The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. Since your vehicle will require the battery get disconnected when flat towing you'll also need the outlet kit part # RM-9332.

- Chevy does not recommend flat towing the automatic transmission versions of the 2014 Chevy Spark which is why our base plate kits for your vehicle only call out the manual transmission models.
So you'd have to go with a tow dolly like the # DM9713045 from Demco for your vehicle.

view full answer... - What Bike Rack and Hitch do You Recommend for 2 E-Bikes on My 2022 Chevy Spark?
- It truly depends on the weight of the bike rack and the combined weight of the bikes themselves. Also, it is important to note that the hitches we have available for your 2022 Chevy Spark are only rated at a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds, such as on the 1-1/4" # C11433.
Another thing that complicates the matter is that our highest weight rated bike racks are only for 2" hitches. Since you need a rack that is compatible with a 1-1/4" hitch, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike...

view full answer... - Class I Hitch and Thule EasyFold Hitch Bike Rack for 2016 Chevy Spark
- The Electra Townie Original 7D man's bike has a sloped frame tube and no fenders and it weighs about 34-lbs which is within the typical 35-lbs-per-bike weight capacity for most but not all bike racks.
I do recommend using hitch and hitch-mount bike rack since this will protect the car's sheet metal from potential scratches and dents from the weight of a loaded trunk-mount rack that rests on the car. Hitch racks put their load onto the car's frame, its strongest part, so this makes them...
