  • Plug In Wiring Adapter For Connecting Tekonsha P3 Trailer Brake Controller On a 2022 Jeep Wagoneer
  • You will need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # TK93VR to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 on your 2022 Jeep Wagoneer. This adapter allows you to plug directly into the tow package wiring for your Jeep and the other end will connect to the P3 Controller.

  • Can The Crossbar Be Removed From The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar
  • Since you have a crossbar-style baseplate with the # RM-521453-4 you would need to fill out the # RM-ARMS form linked below and reach out to Roadmaster to get replacement direct-connect arms in order to drop the crossbar. Once the arms are replaced you'll be able to take the crossbar off the Falcon 2 and just use the quick-disconnect attachment points on the tow bar to connect directly to the baseplate.

  • Does The Rampage Rock Rage Bumper Have Add-On D-Rings And What Is Needed To Flat Tow A 1999 Jeep TJ
  • The Rampage Rock Rage Front Bumper for Jeep # RA97801 doesn't have a D-ring add-on option so you'd have to have a qualified fabricator weld D-rings in to the bumper if you wanted them. You'd also need to have that fabricator ensure that the bumper is properly secured enough to the frame to be able to tow from the D-rings. If you end up being able to tow from the D-rings then you'll want either the Roadmaster # RM-035 (3/4" thick D-rings) or RM-035-1 (1" thick D-rings) and a Roadmaster...

  • Determining Wire Functions To Install The Tow-Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System
  • I always recommend checking the functions of your wires instead of just going off of an instruction manual's color guide or video to ensure you are splicing the correct wires together during installation of a diode kit like your Tow Ready Tail Light Isolating Diode System with 4-Pole Connector # TR118821. You can do this by checking the wires with a circuit tester like # PTW2992 to see which wire goes hot when each specific function (brake/left turn/right turn) is active. Note: If your...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2023 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  • For a complete setup you need a tow bar, base plate, safety cables, wiring, supplemental braking system, and more than likely a high-low adapter. The Blue Ox Alpha 2 # BX7380 comes with safety cables so that takes care of the tow bar and cables. The # BX1139 is confirmed to fit as long as you have the factory plastic or steel bumper. The # RM-15267 also fits the 2023 Wrangler Unlimited. Just be aware this is not intended for models with the ParkSense feature. If you have that on your...

  • Is The Curt C96JR Compatible With The Roadmaster Invisibrake RM-8700
  • Hey Chad, so we really cannot recommend using the Curt # C96JR (58964) with the Roadmaster Invisibrake # RM-8700. Like you said, the Invisibrake requires diodes in order for the unit to function properly. Instead, I recommend using Roadmaster Diode Kit # RM-15267, which will contain the necessary diodes. Keep in mind that if your Jeep is equipped with the ParkSense feature, you will need to use the Smart Diode Kit # RM63MR along with two additional diodes # RO54FR.

  • Is Curt Spectrum Compatible With Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System
  • The Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System # DM86VR is a standalone system so no brake controller is required. The same is true for our other supplemental braking systems for flat towing. The Stay-IN-Play senses the rate of your RV's deceleration and triggers your towed car's brakes to slow down at the same rate just like a proportional brake controller. The Curt Spectrum # C51170 is only designed to work with trailer brakes.

  • Will Curt Adjustable Tow Bar Fit Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
  • The Curt Adjustable Tow Bar # C19745 you purchased will not fit any base plates. It is specifically designed to mount on a flat metal section of your bumper using the universal bumper brackets. If you want to use the # 1439-3 on your 2012 Jeep Wrangler you would need a tow bar like the # RM-520. Keep in mind, this base plate kit is only designed to fit the Call of Duty- MW3 Edition and the Warn Elite bumper.

  • Curt 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness Continues To Have Trailer Lights On When Ignition Is Switched Off
  • First thing you will want to check Steve is the settings on your 2020 Jeep Cherokee. Often times the running lights can stay on even after the ignition is switched off which would explain why the Curt Harness # C56406 allows the trailer lights to remain on after the ignition is switched off. Since this harness ties into the tail lights on your Cherokee to get their signal they should operate only when the vehicle lights operate. If the lights on the trailer are coming on when the vehicle...

  • What Info Is Needed to Add Brakes to Utility Trailer
  • Hey Morris, to determine what would be needed to add brakes to your trailer will come down to a few things. First we'd need to know the axle capacity of the trailer, it would need to have brake flanges on the spindles, and we'd need to know the wheel bolt pattern. I attached a help article that will walk you through this entire process. And then to allow the brakes to activate in the event of a disconnect you would need to have a breakaway kit installed like the # 3802336.

  • Troubleshooting Blown Fuse for T-One Trailer Wiring on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler
  • Hey Mike! It sounds like you've got a wiring harness like the Tekonsha T-One # 118786 installed on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler. This uses a 15 amp fuse which may be why you're still blowing fuses since you're using 10 amps instead. Try using the 15 amp rated fuse and if that blows as well it means you have a bad ground connection somewhere, whether that's the ring terminal on the white wire (which needs to be connected to a clean, bare metal surface) or you have some other wiring that's damaged...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler
  • It sounds like you are talking about the Mopar 82215209. We don't mess with the OEM parts or have any information on them other then what can be found online. I can say no matter what a hitch is rated for you will be limited to the actual capacity of your model of Jeep. The etrailer Hitch item # e98856 is a class III hitch which is rated for 3,500 lbs of towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. It can be increased to 4,000 lbs and 400 lbs when used with a weight distribution...

  • Recommendation for Roof Mount Bike Rack for 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Thule WingBar Roof Rack
  • In order to mount your mountain bikes to a Thule WingBar roof rack, # TH711500, # TH480R, # THKIT1656, on your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, you will want a roof-mount bike rack. The bars are also available in black using # TH711520. The bike rack I recommend is the Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier # TH599000. This bike rack supports your mountain bikes at the wheel, and will not contact the bike frame or require the removal of either wheel. The rack installs on the AeroBlade crossbar...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Behind Motorhome
  • The first thing you'll need to flat tow your 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk is a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. For that I recommend the Roadmaster Direct Connect kit part # RM-521451-5 as it's easy to connect to and also really well made. I attached an install video for this on a 2019 Cherokee for you to check out as well. 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....

  • How to charge towed vehicle with RV.
  • The Nighthawk has built-in wires that can be used to charge your towed vehicle's battery when you also use Roadmaster charge line # RM-156-25 on the vehicle side to connect to the towed battery. If you don't have charge line coming through your RV's 7 way already then you'll also need the RV side charge line kit # RM-156-75. The Demco Duo does not charge the battery. The running lights on your towed vehicle should be turning on via the wires coming from the RV to your Towed vehicle via...

  • Hey Darrel, the best solution for you would be the Kwikee Electric RV Step 28 Series part # LC3747453 which has the drop you are wanting plus is similar enough dimensionally to what you have now that it would replace what you have pretty easily.

  • Battery Charge Line Kit Needed for a Motorhome to Towed Vehicle
  • Thanks for reaching out, Paul! The circuit breaker that comes with the Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 is designed to protect your 2020 Jeep Wrangler, but you'll still want to install one on the motorhome side to protect the motorhome battery bank. We actually have the Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75 which is essentially the same thing you just installed, but it comes with longer spool or wire to reach the length of the motorhome. I've attached...
