Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring - RO34FR
- Diode Kit
- Splices into Vehicle Wiring
- Universal
- Roadmaster
Smart diodes allow a motorhome that is towing a car to use that car's rear lights if the car has variable voltage incandescent lights. Unlike regular wiring diodes, smart diodes activate only the intended circuit - brake lights or tail lights.
Features:
- Smart diodes allow a motorhome to power a towed car's lights
- Works with variable voltage incandescent tail lights
- Requires wiring and wiring supplies (sold separately)
- Quantity: 2 diodes
- Made in the USA
- Limited lifetime warranty
Smart diodes allow a motorhome that is towing a car to use the vehicle's rear lights, provided it uses variable voltage tail lights. Variable voltage tail lights use the same wire to power the brake lights and tail lights. They do this by using a 12-volt signal for brakes and a 9-volt signal for tail lights.
If a regular wiring diode is used with variable voltage tail lights, then the bulb will light up as though the vehicle is braking whenever the tail lights are on. That is, you can't tell the difference between the brake lights and running lights. Smart Diodes correctly modulate the voltage to activate only the intended circuit. The result is vehicle lighting that looks and functions as intended.

etrailer is my go to for all trailer / towing equipment, I have and always recommended your company to friends and family with needs in tow / trailer and RV items. You always provide five star service. That said.
I finally got time to install the smart diode set on my F150. I still have the same operation I had before with the 4 standard diode setup. Each light has Two blubs each having Two elements, the taillights illuminate the taller element in both and the turn and brake illuminate the shorter element in both blubs from the truck systems. From the RV systems only the lower blub is illuminated for taillight, turn, and brake. There are only 4 wires total at the connector: ground, turn, brake, and taillight. After the connector 3 go to the upper blub and jumper to the lower blub. One goes directly to the lower blub. Any ideas on how to get both bulbs functioning will be greatly appreciated.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring
- Is Using The Hy-Power Roadmaster Diodes Better or Worse Than The Smart Diodes on 2021 Chevy ColoradoFirst the biggest difference is the cost of the Hy-Power Diodes # RM-794 being more price conscious than the Roadmaster Smart Diodes # RO34FR. The Hy-Power diodes will also allow you to tie into the 2 separate functions on the incandescent bulb where the smart diodes only have one output and regulates power going into the single function of the incandescent bulb. So if this filament inside the bulb were to fail neither light would work where as with the Hy-Power if the brake/turn filament...

I recommend using the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 as the arm bodies have an aluminum construction to help resist corrosion. It also has built in LED lights which make it much easier to connect or disconnect in the dark. You may need a High-Low adapter like the 4" # RM-048-4 to keep the bars within 3" of...
