Light Kit and Diode Wiring Recommendations for Flat Towing a 2010 Chevy Equinox
Question:
I am planning to pull my 2010 Equinox behind the Motor Home. I have the toe bar and base plate. 1. But what do I need for the wiring? 2. Are there any installation instructions? 3. And What is the Cost for the parts? I appreciate if you can help me regarding this. Thanks

Expert Reply:
For wiring your Equinox for flat towing, use a Magnetic Towing Light Kit, part # RM-2120 very easy to install. The wiring remains completely independent of the wiring system of the Equinox.
The second option would be to permanently wire the vehicle, using the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154. We have a video online showing the install process, as well as some excellent diagrams showed on the product description page. I will provide links below to the parts I have recommended, as well as the installation video. Current pricing information is shown on the product pages that the links below will take you to.
