On the GM tow package wiring under the dash of vehicles like your 2011 Cadillac Escalade, there are typically 5 wires: ground, 12 volt power, output to trailer brakes, input from stop light switch, and illumination. If you have the brake controller red wire connected to the illumination wire this may be causing the problem.
It is also possible that there is a bad ground connection. You can test this by attaching the white brake controller wire to the negative battery terminal of a separate... view full answer...
The 2018 Cadillac Escalade with flush rails only requires a 59" bar. Since you want to install two of the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading Item # TH898, and they require bars that span past the mounting feet I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 60" Long - Qty 2 Item # TH711500 and the Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point - Qty 4 Item # TH460R. The crossbars are aluminum construction and have a 220lb... view full answer...
It sounds like you have things pretty well figured out. The Reese Pole-Tongue Adapter for Weight Distribution Systems # RP58393 is the perfect solution for adding weight distribution to a pole-tongue trailer like yours. It won't matter if you mount it on top or below the trailer tongue, it can handle your 7,800 lb trailer.
The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # RP66559 is also compatible with this adapter. This weight distribution system is a great choice and... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V XD - 2" # C15324 will not require any trimming or cutting to install. The installation is not difficult for this hitch and the bumper already is shaped in the hitch location. The only thing you need to do is lower and remove the spare tire and then reinstall after installation. I've attached the installation details to assist. view full answer...
I do not think you will have a problem carrying your 66 lb ebikes on the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # TH903202, provided you follow this piece of advice. Now this advice is not from me, but from ebike manufacturers speaking about the best way to transport their bikes on your vehicle. You should always remove your batteries from your bike when transporting them on a bike rack. If you follow that advice you will not have to... view full answer...
From the picture you provided, I can say that you are almost there. The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3016. I included a picture for you to check out, but it's actually the port directly above the white one with the blue housing on the left hand side. It looks like it will be a snug fit, but wont cause any issues. I included an install video for you to check out, but it is on a Silverado and it didn't have that blue and white plug, but should still help. view full answer...
I checked the specs noted in the online owner's manual for the 2007 Cadillac Escalade and on page 378 it does indicate a maximum trailer weight of 8100-lbs for the Escalade AWD with 6.2L engine and 3.42 rear axle ratio.
If the trailer has a dry weight of 6000-lbs then it is quite likely that by the time you fill the propane tanks, water tanks, load your food, supplies and recreational gear you could have an actual loaded trailer weight much closer to your Escalade's limit.
There is a... view full answer...
We do carry a front hitch for your 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT. For that you would want the Curt Hitch part # 31302 which is a confirmed fit.
I attached an install video that shows the hitch being installed in a similar Chevy Tahoe. view full answer...
For your 2016 Cadillac Escalade you will be good to use a 4 diode kit like the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-98146-7. The way that the wiring on your Escalade is set-up isn't necessarily as big of a deal because the battery on your Escalade will be disconnected and the lights will be receiving their power from the motorhome.
I have included the installation instructions so you can check our how the installation process takes place.

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... view full answer...
When installing a weight distribution system on a vehicle with self leveling suspension such as your 2008 Cadillac Escalade you will want to hook the trailer up to the vehicle first and let the suspension level itself out before you do the initial setup. This way the WD system will be set up properly for how the vehicle will be when the vehicle is being used. view full answer...
We do have a universal fit towing mirror from K-Source. It's part # KS3891. I've seen some feedback that these have worked for the 2018 Cadillac Escalade and they fit perfectly.
They're designed to work with factory side mirrors that are between 4-1/2"-11-1/2" tall and have a lip alongside the mirror face.
I've linked to a video review of this mirror for you to look at. view full answer...
Dual cam sway control can only be used on Reese weight distribution systems that have spring bars with curved ends for the cams to ride on. The Pro Series systems use spring bars with straight ends so you can't add a dual cam setup to them.
Best option would be to go with a new Straitline system that will allow you to use your current shank.
The part # RP66074 would be the kit to use if your tongue weight falls between 600 and 1,200 lbs. The part # RP66083 then is for if you have a tongue... view full answer...
The particular Timbren Suspension kit you referenced, part # TGMFC1588H, is intended for a front axle application in the 2-wheel drive version of the 2000 Cadillac Escalade. If your Escalade is a 4 wheel drive model this kit will not fit. We do offer a similar front axle jounce spring kit that will fit your 4 wheel drive Escalade, part # TGMFK35C, but this would really only be necessary if you will be using a snow plow or other heavy front-mounted accessory.
Please note that suspension... view full answer...
It is normal for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 to be on even when your 2008 Cadillac Escalade is turned off, and it goes into sleep mode after 15 minutes of not sensing movement to preserve your battery.
The reason for it always being on is that's how it saves your preset settings, if it was turned off/unplugged each time the vehicle was turned off you would need to setup the controller each time.
I included a video of the # 90195 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
On a 2019 Escalade, the plug you're looking for is in a junction box on the firewall to the left of the brake pedal. The junction box has a black cover, which will need to be removed and the # 3016 harness you'd looked at will plug into the socket shown in the provided photo. The top photo shows the location of the junction box, the bottom photo shows what the Junction box looks like with the cover removed and the exact location where the harness plugs in.

I have a solution for you but the 2015/2016 Cadillac Escalade has a new mirror design and none of our mirror manufacturers have a fit listed yet, but a universal towing mirror could still work.
I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your truck. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure... view full answer...
CIPA Replacement Driver Side Mirror # CM27372 will fit the 2005 Cadillac Escalade that has manual mirrors, but since you noted your Escalade has heated/powered mirrors you would lose those functions if you installed this mirror. For a replacement heated/powered mirror use part # KS62062G for the driver's side and part # KS62061G for the passenger side.
If your mirrors have LED turn signals built in to them then instead use parts # KS62134G and # KS62133G. These can be painted to match... view full answer...
