  • Do I Have to Use Universal Towing Mirrors for My 2016 Cadillac Escalade
  • It looks like there is a gap for slip-on towing mirrors for the Cadillac Escalade from 2015 - 2020 so for your 2016 model year you'll need to use the universal K-Source # KS69ZR or CIPA # 7070-2 towing mirrors.

  • Can a Cargo Box Be Installed on a 2005 Cadillac SRX with Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack
  • The correct Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for your 2005 Cadillac SRX is part # TH7502-TH7502. I confirmed this with Thule for you as well. In regards to sunroof clearance, this is not something that we nor Thule tests for because is it not recommended. The noise associated with having the sunroof open and a set of crossbars installed can be somewhat unbearable as well. In regards to a cargo box, you can absolutely install one on your SRX using the AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack. I recommend...

  • Installing Tekonsha Curt C51180 Echo Brake Controller 90250 on 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV
  • In order for the # C51180 Echo to function, you'll need to have all the lighting functions and the 12-volt power feed at the 7-way functional. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to confirm this. First, check the pin in the 1:00 position on the 7-way. You should be picking up power on this circuit. If not, you'll need to make a wiring connection under the hood. Click the video link I've provided, and fast forward to the 7:50 mark. Remove the cover off the fuse box and take...

  • Can a Dirt Bike be Carried on Curt Aluminum Cargo Carrier on a 2012 Cadillac SRX
  • Provided that the wheelbase of the dirt bike is less than 60 inches then it would fit on the Curt aluminum cargo carrier # C18100. And like you said the bike has to be within the capacity of the carrier. But also the combined weight of the carrier (29 pounds) and the dirt bike cannot exceed the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch and vehicle (whichever is lower). Depending on which 2 inch hitch you have on your 2012 Cadillac SRX the hitch tongue weight will be either 400 or 500...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Cadillac SRX
  • We know that the tow package 4-way kit part # 118259 is the correct fit for your 2015 Cadillac SRX as regardless your vehicle has the correct wiring present. I attached an install video for this on a similar SRX as well. This would work great with the Draw Tite part # 75682 that fits your vehicle as well that you mentioned. This hitch has an easier install and great towing capacities so it's a great choice.

  • Wiring 2012 Cadillac SRX so that Third Brake Light Operates While Flat Towing
  • Although it is not required by law, you can indeed tie in the third brake lamp so that it operates when your SRX is connected to the motorhome. You will need an additional diode, part # RM-790 to prevent backfeed into the SRX. The diode would be wired as shown in the diagram I have produced for you. I have looked online and have not been able to find any information regarding the location of the wiring harness that feeds the third brake light. Your best bet would be to check behind the...

  • Can Dual Hitch Adapter be Used with Motorcycle Carrier and Tow Bar without Turning Interference
  • If you used the Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-4 with your tow bar setup and motorcycle carrier it would take a really sharp turn to potentially cause interference since tow bars are pretty long. I don't think you'd have an issue at all but the first few tight turns you make you might have a spotter make sure the clearance is okay.

  • Would Hitch from 2010 Cadillac SRX Fit on 2018 Cadillac XT5
  • The two vehicles are different enough that a hitch that fits one of them would not fit the other. So for the 2018 Cadillac XT5 you'd need the etrailer part # e62AR that you referenced. I attached and install video for this hitch on a very similar 2017 XT5 as yours for you to check out as well. If you are in need of trailer wiring, you'd want the # 118720 as well. Install video attached for this too.

  • Do You Need To Disconnect The Battery On A 2019 Cadillac Escalade While It Is Flat Towed
  • I have a solution for you. Even if you have a charge line to your battery in the 2019 Escalade, there is a risk that the motorhome will actually drain the battery when the Escalade gets to low on power. I recommend using the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System # RM-766. It is going to give you the easiest disconnect, just a push of a button. When you are ready to restore power just put the button again. You will still need...

  • Can I Use The Universal Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock With Carr Flip Step
  • I tested this lock, Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 3-1/2" Span, part # 63232 will work with the Carr Flip Step, part # CARR190011B, and it works. I also tested it with the Curt Anti-Rattle Kit for Hollow Shank Accessories - 2" Hitch w/ 1/2" Pin Hole, part # C22321. It was a little easier to setup the Curt Anti-Rattle Kit to work with the Flip Step. But keep in mind, the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock does come with a lock. I have included product description...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Cadillac SRX
  • We do have the components needed to flat tow your 2014 Cadillac SRX with a tow vehicle that has a trailer hitch at the rear of it. You'd need to start with a base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # RM-523162-4 which is a confirmed fit. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which...

  • Mounting of Equal-I-zer Brackets to Trailer When Propane Tank Tray Location Interferes
  • For your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37040ET since your tray is right at that 25-32 inches back from the center of your coupler where your brackets need to be, the best solution to use this system is to drill into your frame and directly mount your brackets to the frame at the height you need. This may require modifying the height of your brackets depending on your tray and tank fit.

  • Towing Compatibility of 1969 Cadillac DeVille
  • The large motors in those old Cadillacs (in your case the 7.7L V8) will allow you to tow a trailer that is 2,500 lbs. If your vehicle brakes are in good working order you will be able to stop a fully loaded trailer that size as well. Anything larger, and I'd definitely recommend using a brake controller like # 90195 and that would be the best route if your travel trailer has brakes anyway. If that is the case let me know and I'll help you get the wiring you need as this is the safest...

  • How To Confirm Fit of Demco Classic Base Plate Kit for 2016 Cadillac SRX
  • The Demco Classic Base Plate Kit part # DM9518266 is a custom fit for a 2016 Cadillac SRX so you should not have any concerns with trying to verify measurements beforehand. I wish I could provide you with a detailed dimensional drawing but as this is proprietary information Demco would not release it. They did however tell me that the overall width of the base plate from end to end is 46.8" if that helps.

  • K-Source Towing Mirrors for a 2018 Cadillac Escalade

  • Recommended Side Mount Jack With the Lowest Retracted Height
  • Though we do have the Pro Series Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack - Bolt On - Topwind - 10" Lift - 2,000 lbs # PS1400300303 that will have a 11 inch retracted height, it will be quite the different jack and does not include a wheel. We do also have the Fulton F2 Swing-Up, Wide-Track Trailer Jack, 8" Single Wheel, Sidewind, Bolt-On - 1,600 lbs Item # F1413040134, but it will fit a trailer frame up to 3 x 4. It will retract to 12-1/4 inches, but if you have a 3 x 5 frame, the Pro Series Snap-Ring...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch on 2018 Cadillac CTS-V
  • Yes, we do have parts that'll fit your 2018 Cadillac CTS to tow a trailer. From what I've found your car has a maximum capacity of 1,000 pounds tops. You didn't mention the size or weight of the trailer but just make sure you stay within this limitation. I also recommend checking your owner's manual just to verify the number. To fit the Cadillac you want the Curt hitch # C11900. It's a custom fit for the Cadillac and also has a concealed cross tube so you won't be messing with the...

  • Choosing a Solar Panel Kit for a 2013 Rockwood A122BH A Frame Pop-Up Camper
  • Choosing the correct solar panel kit can be a bit overwhelming because there are so many options out there. For your application I would definitely get another battery (Lithium are the best) and then you might want to go with the Elite # 34282184 over the Flex # GP67MR simply because the Elite solar panels will draw in more energy and if most of the places you camp are wooded like what you show in your pictures you're going to need all the help you can get from the solar panels.
