• Flat-Towing Parts Needed for 2016 Honda Fit with Manual Transmission
  We do offer base plates for the manual transmission 2016 Honda Fit such as Blue Ox # BX2261.

• Only One Brake Light is Working with the Peterson Magnetic Tow Light Kit
  You will want to verify that both brake light signals are working at the RV side trailer connector. Unplug the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights # PE26UR, and use a circuit tester such as # PTW2992 to test the pins on the 4-Way while someone sits in the RV and runs through the lighting functions. The most likely cause of this is a bad ground or dirt/corrosion in the trailer connector on the RV. It would take a very small wire brush or small screwdriver to clean on the 4-Way. This recently...

• Using Peterson Tow Light Kit, # PE26UR, with a Tow Dolly Already Connected to RV Trailer Connector
  The Roadmaster Tow Dolly with electric brakes, # RM-2050-1, also already has lights on it which is why they did not provide an additional socket for lights. It also has a 4-Way flat trailer connector with extra blue wire for the electric brakes and not a 7-Way. Since your RV has a 7-Way, what I recommend is to change the connector on the tow dolly to a 7-Way, # PK12706, and then you can use the Hopkins mutli-tow adapter, # HM47570. This connector will allow you to plug in the 4-Way on...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Hyundai Accent
  I did some checking and it looks like the 2014 Hyundai Accent is only flat towable if it is the manual transmission model. The 2014 Honda Fit can be flat towed with either transmission style but it is not recommended to exceed 65 miles per hour. I would recommend consulting the owners manual of either vehicle or contacting a dealership to be sure. We only carry base plate kits for the Hyundai Accent though. So that might be the deciding factor. If you were to get a manual transmission...

• Recommended Items Needed When Flat-Towing 2003 Dodge Neon
  Since you have an automatic transmission in your Neon I found that it can be flat-towed but would require a transmission lube pump. When you flat-tow your Neon you will need 5 items.

The base plates I recommend are The Blue Ox Base Plates, part # BX1961. For a tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Adventurer, part # BX7322. The safety cables I recommend are...

If you want to use a permanent braking system like the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System part # RM-8700 you'll also need a direct wire-line harness like the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267.

• Can Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights # PE26UR be Mounted to Side of 2016 Jeep Wrangler
  If you have a strong magnetic surface on the side of your 2016 Jeep Wrangler you could very well mount the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights # PE26UR there. The magnets are very strong for the lights, but we haven't tested them on the side of a vehicle so there isn't a way I can guarantee that it will hold well.

• Is Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 Needed When Flat Towing a 2013 Ford Fiesta
  The battery needs to be disconnected when flat towing a 2013 Ford Fiesta with the automatic transmission because the transmission is shifted electrically.

The manual transmission of the Fiesta does not require disconnecting the battery. The diode kit like the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154, is used to connect your lighting on your RV to the...

• 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. Page 114 indicates that the manual transmission model may be flat towed (with the gear shift in neutral) but that the automatic transmission version cannot be flat-towed without causing transmission damage. The automatic must be towed with the front wheels up off the ground as with a tow dolly like RoadMaster # RM-2050-1.
