• Options for Adding Lights to Flat Tow a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind a Motor Home
  I do not have specific information on a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and diodes. The diodes simply act as a gate and gate keeper, letting the signals pass through one way so that it does not back feed and damage the electrical system. Another option is to use a light kit. We have several to choose from depending on how you want to mount them. I would recommend going with the magnetic kit, # RM-2120. No drilling, no cutting and splicing wires are involved. I have also included a link to...

• Recommended Wiring Solution for Flat Towing 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  There is an available EZ mount lamp system that you could close in the tailgate of your Wrangler Unlimited, part # EZT20B. This is basically the same setup as a magnetic mount, without the magnets. This is the kind of system that many folks start out with, because they like the simplicity of operation and how easy it is to install. However, many find they don't like the cords flapping in the wind or the time it takes to thread the wiring through the interior of the vehicle each time they...

• Base Plates, Wiring, Braking to Flat Tow a 2003 Honda CR-V Behind a Motor Home with Falcon Tow Bar
  Base plates are vehicle specific so you will need to get some for your 2003 Honda CR-V. But first, go ahead and check the owners manual for any additional important information on flat towing it. For base plates, you can use # 1541-1 if your CR-V does NOT have a brushguard. If it does have a brushguard use # 1541-3. Since you have used the Falcon Tow Bar before, you may not need to add safety cables if you already have some. If you do need safety cables use # RM-643. You will also need...

  You will need the Roadmaster Standard Base Plate Kit, item # 118-1, or the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 118-3, for your 1995 Geo Tracker. If you will not be towing the vehicle often I would recommend the standard base plate kit but if you are planning on towing more often then I would recommend the XL base plates with one of the nicer tow bars for convenience.

• What Parts Are Needed to Tow a 2008 Ford Ranger using Base Plate Kit # 477-5
  The Roadmaster Tracker tow bar, part # RM-020 will fit any RoadMaster XL, EZ and standard style base-plate kits. The kit you chose for your Ranger, part # 477-5, is an XL sytle bracket so it will work fine with the Tracker towbar. The Tracker tow bar is rated for 5,000 lbs. As long as your Ranger is under 5,000 pounds, everything will work fine. You have two basic options when wiring.

• Parts to Tow a 2003 Toyota Corolla Behind a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer
  Basically, there are two options you could use. The simplest is using a Tow Dolly like RoadMaster part # RM-2050-1. You would hook it up to the Trailblazer, pull the Corolla front wheels onto the dolly, and strap down the tires. These dollies have brake systems on them to ensure the dolly and vehicle are controlled. A more cost effective method is the use of a Tow Bar, but this method will require more installation work. You would need RoadMaster part # 1165-1. These are the brackets that...

• Base Plate Kit for 2000 Saturn Sc1
  The installation of the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, item # 52181-1, on the Saturn Sc1 is fairly easy compared to some vehicles. I would allow a full afternoon for the installation and Roadmaster recommends at least 3-1/2 hours for installation time. Some of the things that need to be done that may not be expected are, the front fascia, headlights and bumper core will have to be removed to gain access to the frame and bumper mounting area, before starting the installation. Also you will...

• Solutions for Using Magnetic Tow Lights while Towing Roadmaster Tow Dolly
  If you have both a 7-way and a 4-way on your tow vehicle and your dolly uses a 4-way you could use an adapter to connect the # RM-2120 to the 7-way and both should work just fine. Or if you have just a 7-way on your tow vehicle you could install the part # C55384 and you would have an additional 4-way that you could use for your dolly.

• Wiring Harness to Flat Tow a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Behind a Motor Home
  The bulb and socket kit # RM-155 is not a fit for the 2014 or 2015 Jeep Wrangler so you would not want to use it. Since you do not want to splice into the vehicle wiring I recommend using Hopkins kit # HM56200. It just plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring. No drilling, cutting, or splicing required to the vehicle wiring. I have linked a video showing installation for you. The only other way to bypass the vehicle completely is to use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120.

• Tow Bar Adapter Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Escape
  The Blue Ox Acclaim tow bar # BX4330 will need the Blue Ox base plate adapter # BX88178 which will provide 24-inches of spacing between brackets. So you wouldn't need to purchase another tow bar. A few things you will also need are a supplemental braking system like the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 and safety cables such as # RM-643 that will provide you the extra security for your tow bar system # BX4330. They will also have a 6,000 pound capacity. If you prefer a 10,000 pound capacity,...

• Trailer Hitch and Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Chevy Traverse
  The EZ4 base plates, # 523175-4, and EZ5 base plates # RM-523175-5 will both work with the Falcon tow bar. Both of these base plate sets are only compatible with Roadmaster tow bars that fit into a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver and thus mount on the motor home. The Falcon tow bars do fit this description. In addition to the base plates and the tow bar you will also need safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow the vehicle. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The...

• Everything Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 2-Door Behind an RV
  If the crossover tube on your 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 2-door is open you will need to use base plates # 118-3. But you mentioned that it is open with a bracket welded on each side. If that bracket is not blocking the openings on the crossover tube then # 118-3 is correct. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. The 118-3 base plates have a part of the bracket that looks like a tube that needs to be inserted into that crossover tube. If the ends are blocked then you...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta with 2.0 Liter Gas Motor Behind an RV
  Roadmaster lists base plates # 521236-1 for the 2.5 liter gas motor and 2.0 liter diesel motors of the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta but does not include any of the other 8 motor options for this vehicle. What I recommend is the Blue Ox base plates # BX3831 because they fit all models except the 2.5 liter models. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Alpha, # BX7380. This tow bar is rated for 6,500 pounds and comes with safety cables so you will not have to buy any separately. I have linked...

  The Blue Ox Rangefinder II tow bar (BX4322) is compatible with adapter # RM-037 if you are using Roadmaster base plates on your 1975 Ford Van.

• Does Heat Affect Hopkins Magnetic Lights
  Thank you for your purchase directly from etrailer of the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights # C6304. It may be possible for extreme heat to affect any electronics, though it's impossible to say if that is the cause. Since you already tested the lights and it shows a connection, really the only thing to do is get a replacement, there isn't a fix for this. It does have a 90-day warranty, though if that is out I would consider something more robust, like the lifetime warranty that comes with the...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2011 and 2009 2-Wheel Drive Ford Ranger Behind a Motor Home
  Installation of Curt front mount trailer hitch # C31063 will actually require some trimming of front fascia on a 2011 and 2009 Ford Ranger. I have linked the instructions for you that show where the trimming takes place. This means it will likely be up higher than you think. The tow bar that you have is the same as # 63180. This tow bar is rated for a maximum of 45 miles an hour. Also, to flat tow a vehicle behind another vehicle you will need to have base plates for each vehicle, a compatible...

  The Blue Ox Base Plate kit part # BX1976 that you referenced is the correct base plate kit for your wife's 2008 Jeep Liberty. It sounds like your Liberty may have the rock guard or skid plate, which this kit will replace once installed. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Alpha, # BX7380.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty Behind a Motor Home
  The first thing you are going to need to flat tow your 1999 ford F-250 Super Duty are base plates. The Blue Ox base plates that fit your truck are # BX2163. Since these are a different brand than the tow bar you were looking at they will not work together. I recommend Blue Ox tow bar # BX7380. The tow bar comes with safety cables so you will not need to add any. For lighting a simple magnetic kit such as # RM-2120 will set up fast and easy and you will not have to splice into the truck...
