  • For your 2015 Chevy Spark I recommend the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 523174-1 along with the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 for an extremely sturdy and easy to operate setup. The Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 523174-1 is custom designed for your Spark and its easily removable drawbars allow for a really clean look on the vehicle when you aren't towing.

  • What are the Differenced Between EZ4 and EZ5 Roadmaster Base Plate Kits for 2016 Chevy Spark
  • The difference between the EZ4 Base Plate kit part # RM-523185-4 and the EZ5 kit # RM-523185-5 is that the EZ4 uses twist-lock drawbars while the EZ5 uses drawbars held in place by pins and doesn't require the use of a crossbar. I would go with the EZ5 if it were me since not having to use the crossbar is just one less thing to worry about. 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....

  • High Low Adapter Needed for RV to Raise Hitch Height When Flat Towing
  • We do offer extender/riser combinations, also know as high-low adapters, for situations like yours. I have included a link to all of our high-low adapters for you. It will take just a couple of steps to determine which adapter is right for you. First we will start determining the rise that is needed. Since you want the setup as level as possible, you will want to measure the height from the center of your hitch pin hole on the RV to the ground and then the distance from the center of the...

  • Observation System to Replace Voyager AOM681
  • You can use the wiring you have now since it basically is just the running light circuit ran to the area for the camera you can use essentially any camera setup but we don't have anything that uses the same connector. You can use the Furrion Vision S part # FOS43TASF which has the best reception and overall performance.

  • How to Flat Tow 2019 Chevy Spark LT with Manual Transmission Behind Motorhome
  • I found the owners manual for your 2019 Chevy Chevy Spark and under the recreational towing section I found basically all you have to do is put the vehicle in neutral and disconnect the negative battery terminal since you have a manual transmission. Since the battery gets disconnected you would need an outlet kit part # RM-9332 to power the supplemental braking system. The automatic transmission Sparks have to be towed on a dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. For a base plate...

  • The 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter part # HTAD is compatible with Class I hitches like you have so it would be a great option. Keep in mind that using a hitch adapter like this cuts the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent due to added leverage and movement.

  • How to Power Roadmaster RM-9400 Even Brake to Dinghy Tow 2015 Chevy Spark
  • Roadmaster recommends using a 12-volt outlet kit like # RM-9332 wired directly to the vehicle's battery. You can then use the 12-volt accessory circuit from the 7-way on the motorhome to provide a trickle charge to the dinghy's battery. According to Roadmaster and the owner's manual, there really is no need to disconnect the battery as long as you're getting a trickle charge from the motorhome's 7-way.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack for a 2017 Chevy Spark

This receiver will install by getting bolted under the Spark to the body frame.

  • Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for 2013 Chevy Spark
  • Supplemental braking is required by law when flat towing a vehicle. Even if the vehicle is smaller like your 2013 Chevy Spark. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. Since your vehicle will require the battery get disconnected when flat towing you'll also need the outlet kit part # RM-9332.
