- Pollak 6-Pole Trailer Wiring Socket # PK12720 Recommendation for Flat Towing a 2011 Honda Fit
- I would recommend you remove the 4-wire flat plug and replace it with a Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Plastic Trailer Wiring Socket, part # PK12720, like you mentioned.
This way you would not have to use an adapter which would give you a cleaner install and give you one less component that could potentially fail on you.
I attached an FAQ article on tow bar wiring below for you to check out also.

- I reached out to my contact at Valterra, and the Rope Light Trak Dual Utility Track for RV Awnings - 18' # A30-0600 along with the Valterra Mini Rope Light for RV Awning Utility Slot - LED # A30-0625VP should be removed after each use before rolling your awning back up.

- EcoHitch is very secretive about the install instructions they offer for their hitches like the # 306-X7273 that fits your 2016 Honda Fit but I am going to email you a copy of the instructions to you in a separate email. The install is not overly difficult but it will take a reasonable amount of time to pull off.

- There is no drilling required when installing the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24776, on a 2007 Honda Fit. It is a bolt-on application. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Hidden Hitch.

- If a car has separate amber turn lights then it is a 3-wire system. My research shows your car is a 2-wire system since it's taillights have no amber portions.
Installation of the Tekonsha wiring harness # 119250KIT is straightforward. The black wire is connected to the supplied extension piece using the included butt connector and the other end is routed up to the engine compartment where it connects to the battery + terminal through the supplied fuse holder.

- The New Body style does not have a port under the dash for a brake controller. You have a bundle of 5 loose wires under the steering wheel, just off to the left. You will need to splice your brake controller into these wires. I would recommend the Tekonsha P-3 brake controller, part # 90195, for your vehicle. It is a proportional controller that can be easily moved from one vehicle to the next. It is designed for use with electric and/or electric over hydraulic trailer braking systems....

- Pull the fuse panel beneath the dash to attach the red power wire to the hot side of any fuse that is powered only when brake pedal is depressed. The location might be 11 or 37 but you will need to test for function using a circuit tester like # PTW2993.
See the Roadmaster video I attached of the at the 3:26 mark to show you how to test for function but the fuse panel will be different (2008 Honda Fit) as fuse panels have changed throughout the years.

- There are a number of options for routing the hot lead to the battery when installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118767 in your 2015 Honda Fit, but since this harness mounts outside the vehicle the best option is to run it along the exterior of the frame and up through the engine compartment. You can use Wire Loom # 7509-1 and Cable Ties # DW05726-10 for this.
I have added a link to a help article on routing a hot lead to the engine which I strongly recommend checking out.

- When installing the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24920 on your 2015 Honda Fit you will indeed need to first detach the exhaust from the rubber isolators so that it can be lowered. Then after the hitch is in place Draw-Tite recommends bending the hanger spears downward just about 1/2 inch to allow for additional muffler clearance when reattaching it. This isn't necessarily a requirement as you might get sufficient clearance as is, but just something you can do if you find...

- The Roadmaster Falcon 2 all-terrain tow bar, part # RM-522 can use either base plate kit, the # RM-521571-5 direct connect or the # RM-521571-4 crossbar style base plate kits. You'd just remove the crossbar from the tow bar. Most folks find the direct connect simpler and quicker to use, but as you said, since you have the crossbar there's certainly no reason why you can't use it. It's pretty much a matter of personal preference.
Roadmaster does indeed recommend the # RM76512 to bypass...

- Yes, you can install Hopkins 12-Volt Socket with Utility Light # HM55125 in place of your existing light. But the socket/light is only available with the wire. Even though would will not need the extra wire its always good to have extra wire laying around. You can never have too much wire!

view full answer... - Will the Brake Lights Over Load when a Brake System Applies Pressure to the Pedal
- Yes, the brake lights will go on when the Even Brake is applied. The diodes in a typical tail light wiring kit, like part # RM-154, protects the system so that when the Even Brake is activated, it essentially over rides the signal coming from the RV.
Since you purchased RM-155, you should not have a problem. The signal from the RV is sent to the bulbs that came with RM-155. The signal that is sent when the Even Brake applies pressure to the pedal goes to the factory brake bulbs. So you...

- Yes. That is what a 4 pole connection does. The 4 pole on the trailer connects to the vehicles 4 pole connection and the vehicle provides the same functions as the taillights for the vehicle and trailer. So you will have left and right signals, and brake lights. The last wire (white) is ground.
The wiring for your 2009 Honda Fit is a little different as it has brake lights that are separate from the turn signals. The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118420, is the correct harness...

- The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7286 is an excellent option for a 2013 Honda Fit, it's the only one with a 2" receiver tube opening in fact. In regards to trimming, this will be very minor. I have attached a photo that lets you know exactly how much is needed. I will say that the trim they provide to cover the cut marks makes for a very clean look. I personally love the fit and finish of EcoHitches.
