Expert Answers about Smart fortwo


  • What Voltage Drill Should be Used with Trailer Valet 5x
  • 18 volt drills would be the best as they are quick and strong. But realistically a 12 volt powered drill would work too with the 5x part # STC-V211. The drill attachment needed is the part # TVDA.

  • What Base Plate and Wiring Harness Do You Recommend for Flat-Towing a 2013 Smart fortwo?
  • When choosing a base plate for your 2013 Smart fortwo, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1987 over the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 52285-1 because you will not need to purchase an additional adapter when using the Blue Ox plate with your Blue Ox tow bar. Apart from not needing an adapter, the Blue Ox has a very straightforward installation with a bolt-on process. If you need safety chains with your setup, I recommend the Roadmaster 80" Coiled...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Adaptor For Roadmaster Tow Bar
  • There are two adapters you can choose from for your Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 and Blue Ox Base Plates # BX1987. You can either use the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter # RM-031 or the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Roadmaster Tow Bars # BX88151. Both of these adapters will work well, so if it were me I'd go with the better price option. I've attached an article with an adapter table to show this fit (as well as others) to assist.

  • Can 2015 Smart Fortwo be Towed on Tow Dolly
  • I found the owners manual of your 2015 Smart fortwo and they state that for tow dolly purposes you are supposed to have the rear axle on the dolly and the front axle on the road. Check out page 171 of your manual for more info and procedures. You can then use a tow dolly like the Roadmaster part # RM-2050-1.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Smart fortwo
  • First let's start with a base plate kit for your 2014 Smart forwo. For that you would want the part # 52285-1 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 2, # RM-520. The telescoping arms and the fact that it stores on the RV and not the vehicle make it one of the easiest to use. For safety cables you can use...

  • Would Furion Vision S Camera Bracket be On 2012 Itasca Cambria 30C
  • In 2012 the RV manufacturers weren't equipping their campers with camera brackets so most likely what you have on your 2012 Itasca Cambria was added later on. There's a really good chance it was a Furrion setup which the part # FOS05TASF would fit right to but even if you had a different brand bracket this kit comes with a new one so worst case scenario you'd just have to replace the bracket which is pretty simple.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Smart Car Behind a Motor Home
  • To flat tow your 2015 Smart car behind your motor home you will need base plates on the car, a compatible tow bar to connect the car to the RV, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates I recommend the Roadmaster EZ base plates # 52285-1. These base plates feature removable arms so that the base plates can't be seen when you are just driving the Smart car like normal. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520.

  • Recommended Tow Bar for 2015 Smart ForTwo
  • The # 52285-1 base plate kit is compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars. I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2, part # RM-520. The Falcon 2 features a self-aligning design that would make hooking up your ForTwo easy without the need to have the car perfectly lined up behind the motorhome. The Falcon 2 actually includes the crossbar and quick disconnects that comprise part # 910021-00, so you wouldn't need to purchase those separately. If you'd care to see an install video for the base...

  • Are US and UK Base Plates Different for a 2015 Smart ForTwo
  • There very well might be different regulations for flat towing a vehicle in the UK when compared to the the USA. In the USA there will also be regulations for each state so you will need to check with the local authorities of the states you will be traveling through when you plan your trip. Unfortunately, I do not have any exact information as to what those regulations might be as it can vary from state to state and from country to country.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2008 Smart fortwo Passion
  • According to Curt Manufacturing, their Class I # C11020 hitch is a fit for all 2008-2014 Smart fortwo models except for the Barabus model. Since the Passion is a trim level, and not a specific model, the hitch will fit just fine. If you were needing a cargo carrier or bike rack, be sure to choose something that's compatible with a Class I hitch. Curt's hitch warranty stipulates that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 must be used for non-trailer loads like cargo carriers or bike racks. I'll...

  • Recommended Single Bike Platform Rack for Bike with Full Fenders
  • The Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack # KU64FR will allow you to carry a bike with fenders if they are mounted in a way that will allow the clamping force needed to secure the bike without damage to the fender. With plastic fenders I don't recommend using that bike rack as it could deform your fender. For your RadCity Commuter bike, you could look at how the RockyMounts HighNoon FC Solo Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Wheel Mount # RKY87RR mounts. It has extra features...

  • How to Make a Charge Wire for Flat Towing Vehicle with Tow Vehicle with 4-Way

Now for an umbilical to go from the 7-way to a 5-way you will want to use the part # HM47075. You will then need to use the part # 47515 to convert the 4-way on your toad...
