• Recommended Parts Needed To Flat Tow 2000 Dodge Dakota With Automatic Transmission
  Your 2002 Dakota can be flat-towed. I did some research and found the recreational towing instructions on page 202 of the owner's manual. There are restrictions and instructions you will need to follow in order to tow your truck. You will need several items when you want to tow your Dakota. First you will need base plates. I recommend the Demco Base Plate kit, part # DM9518037. For a tow bar I recommend the Excali-Bar, part # DM9511013. This comes with safety cables. If you plan on...

• Towing a non-SS 2010 Chevy HHR Behind a Motor Home
  No, the Chevy HHR and HHR SS are fundamentally different were the base plates install so you would not be able to use the SS base plates, # 523159-1, on a non-SS model. I have verified this with my contact at Roadmaster. For a non-SS model you would use base plates # 3141-1. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520, and safety cables # RM-643. For lighting you can use a magnetic lighting kit # RM-2120. Or for a more permanent solution you can use diode kit # RM-154....

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Chevy S-10 Behind an RV
  Curt Tow Bar # C19745 isn't vehicle specific so you can use it on your 2000 Chevy S-10. It comes with universal bumper brackets that will need to mount to a flat, metal section of the vehicle bumper which does require modifying/reinforcing the bumper/vehicle. This tow bar is fine for moving vehicles short distances but as a regular use tow bar it is not a good solution. If you will be towing the S-10 long distances behind an RV then I recommend a custom flat towing set up. For that you...

• Compatibility of Roadmaster # RM-2120 Magnetic Tow Lights with 2011 Cadillac SRX
  When the # RM-2120 lamps are installed on your vehicle, they will operate completely independently of the lights on the towed vehicle. As long as your RV has a properly installed 4-way trailer connector for the magnetic lamps to plug into, all should work just fine. You mentioned that the RV has a 'separate' lighting system, which would use an amber turn signal bulb or have an amber turn signal lens. A properly installed 4-way will be already converted so the turn signal and brake lamp...

Another is to use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120 since they are not vehicle specific. This is a low cost option that you could use until such a time that other kits become available.
