As the instructions for the Roadmaster # 1012-1 base plates aren't very detailed, I've contacted my contact in the Engineering department at Roadmaster who was able to find a photo for you. The photo I've provided shows the front suspension sub frame bolts on the driver's and passenger side. The photos aren't the clearest, but they're clear enough to help you locate the bolts. view full answer...
After looking at some interior pictures of a 2001 Suzuki Vitara I think the best place to install a P3 brake controller, # 90195, would be in that small pocket in front of the gear selector. The controller will have to be pointed nose up but you should be able to mount that bracket near the top forward side of that pocket and get the controller to fit.
The P3 can be tilted. The newest models can be mounted a full 360 degrees in the direction of travel, see instructions link. view full answer...
The Curt Breakaway Battery Charger part # C52025 only charges the breakaway battery while the trailer is plugged into the vehicle and the vehicle's battery charge line circuit is active (it could be constant on or keyed with the ignition).

The Curt trailer wiring harness part # C55372 is a confirmed fit for your 2001 Suzuki Vitara.
The connector you would be looking for is located on the inside of the driver side tire jack compartment. It is taped to the vehicle wiring harness just forward of the jack compartment. If you still don't see it try removing the taillight assembly to gain further access. That is something a customer had to do with their similar Vitara. view full answer...
You have a couple of options for towing your 1999 Suzuki Vitara behind a motorhome without splicing into the vehicles wiring.
The first, and easiest, option if you are not going to be towing often would be to use a Magnetic Towing Light Kit, item # RM-2120, with your vehicles 4-way flat connector.
The second option would be to use the RoadMaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, item # RM-155. With this kit you will run wiring from the motorhome trailer connector to the vehicles taillight... view full answer...

From what I could find online it looks like you can flat tow your 2002 Suzuki Vitara. The only time you will need to modify something is if it is a RWD automatic. I wasn't able to access an online version of the owner's manual for a 2002 Vitara though and since that is the final authority you will want to check that out first before purchasing your vehicle.
If the owner's manual confirms this then you need base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental... view full answer...
