• Can a 2013 Honda Fit be Flat Towed Behind a Motorhome

• Correct Base Plates and Other Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2013 Mini Roadster
  The correct Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 2013 Mini Roadster is part # BX1307. I understand you are hoping to save some cash and make the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1303 work but that is really just not feasible as these base plate kits are custom fit to exact vehicles. The mounting flanges are in entirely different spots so I can only imagine the amount of modifications needed would far exceed the value of cutting cost. That said, I don't have any tips for this process as this is just...

• Could Tow Bar Lights be Used on Tow Dolly
  If you wanted to use the Peterson Tow Light Kit # PE26UR on a tow dolly you certainly could as they would cover the basic taillight functions, but they were intended to be closed in the trunk or hatch of a vehicle. This light kit is magnetic, so it securely attaches to any metal surface with strong magnets. You could also look at another magnetic light kit like part # TL21RK.

  Since the Swagman XP # S64960 is made of steel, you can attach magnetic lights to the carrier. For this route, I recommend the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights - Red # PE26UR. The Peterson lights serve as running lights, brake lights, and turn signals on your bike rack. For installation, the wires will install right into the four-way wiring harness on your 2017 Subaru Outback. If you need a harness, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040.

• No Splice Flat Tow Wiring Solution Recommended for 2019 Jeep Cherokee
  I do have a wiring solution that won't require you to cut or splice into your Jeep's electrical system, however, there isn't a plug and play harness that will allow you to use your Jeep's taillights.

  In order to determine if your 2007 Honda Fit can be flat towed behind a motor home you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual.

• Light Kit Recommendation for a 4 Bike Platform Rack
  I have a solution that would be your easiest option but we don't carry bike rack lighting kits as in most cases bike racks do not block the taillights of a vehicle since they are usually set out wider than the bikes on the rack. The Magnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connectors - 20' Long Harness # PE26UR would be an option that would be pretty easy to make work.

• Need Base Plates and Magnetic Tow Light Kit for 2007 Mini Cooper Convertible
  I reviewed an online copy of the owners manual for the 2007 Mini Cooper.

• Magnetic Tow Lights Stay on When Connected to 4-Pole Connector on Tow Vehicle
  It sounds like you have already been doing some troubleshooting which helps to narrow down the possibilities for us. What I recommend doing is testing both sets of lights with another vehicle. Even though it is unlikely that 2 sets of magnetic lights would be malfunctioning the exact same way at the same time, it is not impossible. You can verify that the lights are working properly by performing this test. If they need to be replaced, we have the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights # PE26UR...

• Are Additional Lights Required on Towed Vehicle When Using a Tow Dolly
  Generally, you don't need additional lighting when using a tow dolly that already has lights. However, it's not a bad idea to check with the local laws in the states you'll be traveling in and in Canada. Some people like to add additional lights just to make it easier to see the vehicle that's on the dolly. If you wish to add lights, you'll need to splice in a tow light kit, like # PE26UR, because the trailer connector on the back of your RV will already be in use with the dolly. Unless...
