• Troubleshooting No Left Turn Signal or Running Lights on 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee With RM-154
  If everything works but the running lights and turn signal after you installed the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 it sounds like you may just have a weak ground; this is often the cause of these types of issues so you'll want to make sure your grounds are securely attached to bare metal surfaces free of any paint, dirt or corrosion of any kind. Also check your wiring thoroughly to ensure there are none that are crimped, broken or otherwise damaged and your connections...

• How to Flat Tow a 2016 Chevy Colorado With 4WD
  I took a look at the owner's manual of a 2016 Chevy Colorado and a four wheel drive model can be towed so long as it has a N (neutral) and Four-Wheel Drive Low setting. There are a number of parts you're going to need in order to do this, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Blue Ox # BLU93FR. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates, the long arms that make it easier to maneuver when...

• Recommended Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL or JL Unlimited
  For your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL, I recommend starting with the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This kit has removable arms to give you a very clean look when not flat towing your Jeep, and also gives you a clean connection to your tow bar when towing behind your motorhome. I recommend installing this base plate using Loctite threadlocker # LT37420 to keep your hardware from vibrating loose over time. For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding...

• Install of Roadmaster RM-521453-5 Tow Bar Base Plates on 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  If a picture speaks a 1000 words how many does a video? If you use the links I provided, you can see both the installation instructions and a video showing the # RM-521453-5 being installed on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. In summary, to install the base plates you'd need to remove the skid plate then the bumper (don't forget to unplug the driving lights). Then, remove the frame stiffeners (which won't be reinstalled). You'd then remove two bolts on each side that attach the lower rock...

• What Parts Do I Need To Flat Tow a 2021 Jeep Wrangler.
  You will need base plates to start and I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1139, this is the actual part that connects your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL to your tow vehicle tow bar. Once the base plates are installed you will need a compatible tow arm like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,500 lbs # BX7380. This connects to your base plates on the tow vehicle via your hitch receiver mounted on your tow vehicle. Next you...

• Wiring Recommendation for Flat Towing a 2014 Ford Flex
  That is an excellent question. There are multiple options of wiring available for flat towing any vehicle and it can be really overwhelming when doing research. A lot of it stems from wiring kits being fairly universal so when a manufacturer comes out with a fit then it can technically be installed on multiple vehicles. For your 2014 Ford Flex I recommend using the Roadmaster Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 because it has the 7-Way that plugs into your motorhome but then it also has...

• Where Do Diodes Splice In When Installing Diode Wiring In A 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKU I al
  We don't carry Cool Tech products so I can't tell you for sure how their products work. The URL you pasted didn't work so I couldn't find the harness you purchased but I looked over their website and it looks like all of their flat towing harnesses are a plug and play factory connector style wiring harness and wouldn't require diodes. If your harness is different I would need to know the exact part number to take a look at it. Typically diodes like part # RM-794 get installed just before...

• Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for a 2002 Chevy Tracker
  I checked with Roadmaster and the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket kit part # RM-155 that you referenced is not listed as a fit for your 2002 Chevy Tracker so I cannot recommend it for you. Instead they recommend the diode kit part # RM-154. A diode Kit allows you to use your vehicle's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. I attached an install video for you to check out as well as a help article on tow bar lighting.

• Replacement Part for Supplemental Braking System and Tow Bar Wiring for 2019 Ford Ranger
  Were you meaning a 5/8 X 1/4 X 5/8 inch tee? That is the size originally included with the # SM99243 Air Force One Supplemental Braking System. If so, that part number is # DM96FR. As far as the taillight wiring system goes, I'd prefer the Roadmaster # RM-154 or even the # RM-15267. Roadmaster's core business is flat towing, rather than a tiny fraction of the business Horizon Global (owners of Tow Ready) does. The # RM-15267 uses the same diodes as the # RM-154, but provides an umbilical...

• Recommended Tow Bar for 2014 Honda CR-V with Blue Ox Base Plates
  Yes. There are a number of Blue Ox tow bars available, and generally all manufacturer's tow bars are directly compatible with their own base plates. I recommend using the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 6,500 lbs # BX7380, which is compatible with the Blue Ox Base Plate kit # BX2258 for the 2014 Honda CR-V and comes with safety cables included. Since this vehicle has already been setup for flat towing, you may already have wiring and supplemental braking present, but if you...

• Recommended Flat Towing Wiring Harness for 2020 Jeep Wrangler
  The Roadmaster # RM-676 Nighthawk uses a 7-to 6-way umbilical, so neither the # RM-152 or # RM-154 which use a 4 pole connection would work as they come out of the box. I'd use the # RM-154 along with the # PK12720 socket and # PK11771 bracket. If you no longer have the umbilical, you can use part # RM-15267 which is the full kit, including the umbilical, the wiring, diodes connector and mounting bracket. I've linked you to an install video for the wiring.

• 4-Way Trailer Wiring Extension Recommendation to Allow Flat Towed Vehicle & Trailer Behind Vehicle
  What you'll need is a long 4-way extension spliced into the 4-way you have at the back of the RV. For that you'd want to use the part # HM48235 which is 120 inches long. You'd need to cut off the one end and then use quick splice connectors like # SWC501746-1 to connect to the RV wiring. This will allow the 4-way to operate the CR-V taillights and then you'd be able to route the jumper wire to the back of the CR-V where you can then plug it into your trailer.

  Roadmaster Tow Bar adapter # RM-031 is only compatible with Blackhawk, Falcon, or Sterling tow bars. There actually isn't an adapter that will fit the Stowmaster tow bar. You can replace the tow bar using the Blue Ox Adventurer # BX7322. This tow bar is compatible with Blue Ox base plates # BX1122 for your 2006 Jeep Liberty. If you do not already have a set of safety cables you will need some, # RM-643. In addition to the base plates, tow bar, and safety cables you will also need a lighting...

• Can 2016 Ram 1500 Automatic be Flat Towed Behind an RV and What Parts are Needed to Do So
  The 2016 Ram 1500 can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground only if it is a 4x4. If you have a 2-wheel drive Ram then it can be towed using a tow dolly with the REAR wheels off the ground. This is in the recreational towing section of the owner's manual, page 711. If you do have a 4x4 then for base plates I recommend # RM-52289-4. And for a compatible tow bar I recommend the 10,000 pound capacity Blackhawk All-Terrain tow bar # RM-422. And for 10,000 pound safety cables I recommend...

• Is Converter Needed for 2019 Jeep Cherokee Being Flat Towed by Motorhome With Separate Wiring
  Since your 2019 Jeep Cherokee Limited has combined wiring, if your Fleetwood Bounder does have separate wiring for its brakes and turn signals, you will need to use the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter # RM-732 when installing the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 on your Cherokee. However, please keep in mind some motorhomes have combined signals that are separated at the tow vehicle wiring so you will want to verify this with your motorhome manufacturer. Along...
