  • How To Get Replacement Arms For A Baseplate Kit On A 2013 Fiat 500
  • There should be a sticker on the crossbeam of the baseplate that lists Roadmaster and the actual part number for the baseplate if it is indeed from Roadmaster.

To get replacement arms for your Roadmaster baseplate you'll have to fill out the # RM-ARMS form attached below and send it to Roadmaster. If you find out it's from a different manufacturer...

  • The bulb and socket kit # RM-155 is one of the recommended tow bar wiring harnesses for your 2012 Fiat 500. But the only way to know for sure if there is space is to drill a tiny hole in the back of the tail light assembly and then use a depth gauge (straightened coat hanger) , push it in the hole until it stops, mark the depth on the hanger, then measure that distance. You will need at least 2-1/4 inches. In addition to the wiring you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, and...

  • Options for Hauling a Kayak and Bike With a 2012 Fiat 500C Convertible
  • I may have a solution for carrying a kayak and a bike with your 2012 Fiat 500c convertible. It is not recommended that anything be carried on the roof of a convertible. The use of a light weight trailer like the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer, # Y08106, to carry a kayak and a bike might be an option for you. I recommend checking your owner's manual to determine if your Fiat 500c convertible is approved for towing. If your Fiat convertible does not have a hitch installed, the Curt Class...

  • Fat Bike Adapter Kit for Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Fat Bike Adapter Kit for Curt Platform Bike Racks Item # C18091 will not fit on your Swagman XC 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64650. Instead, why not use Swagman's very own Fat Bike Adapter # S64674? This is labelled as for Swagman's XTC bike racks, but I can confirm that they will also work on your Swagman XC bike rack # S64650 and it fits tires up to 5" wide. I see you have one bike mounted, but just a head's up for when you want to mount two it that you...

  • Parts Needed to Operate Electric Brakes on Roadmaster Tow Dolly to Tow a 2014 Fiat 500L
  • It sounds like you're trying to power the lights and brakes on the Roadmaster RM3477 tow dolly. To do this you will not want to connect the dolly to the Fiat that's being towed but rather to the RV that's towing it. I assume the RM3477 has a 4-way connector on it because Roadmaster dollies often do. Even though they need a 7-way to power the brakes. What you'll need is a 7-way trailer connector like # 277-000141. This has a junction box attached to it which will make it easier to connect...

  • Wiring 2012 Fiat 500 Sport For Flat Towing Behind Motorhome
  • The Tekonsha T-One connector, part # 118546 is actually meant to be installed on your 2012 Fiat 500 so it can tow a trailer. It isn't meant to deliver the taillight/turn/brake lamp signals from your motorhome to the Fiat when it's being towed. In other words, the harness is meant to output taillight signals to a trailer, not to receive taillight signals from a motorhome. To wire your Fiat 500 for flat towing, and also to power your Patriot II and keep the vehicle's battery charges as...

  • To flat tow your 2013 Fiat 500 you need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Please note that the online manual for your Fiat 500 states that you can only flat tow your vehicle if it has a manual transmission.

  • Parts Needed to Attach a Roadmaster Tow Dolly to a Thor Freedom Elite 24FE
  • When using the The Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 to tow your 2018 Fiat 500X behind your Thor Freedom Elite 24FE, the tow dolly will do the signaling, not the vehicle. Therefore you need a 7-way trailer connector for both the tow dolly and motorhome unless you already have them. For the motorhome, I recommend using the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 with the Universal Installation Kit part # ETBC7. Since your motorhome is larger than...
