When looking at a supplemental system like the Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System # RM-9100, the air line will connect to the air brakes on the motorhome. This kind of braking system is meant to be used with a motorhome that has air or air over hydraulic brakes. If you do not have air brakes then we will need to find another option for you.
If you are looking for a system that remains installed on the vehicle being towed then I highly recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental... view full answer...
There are a few options for a braking system that will work with your 2001 Jeep Wrangler TJ. This includes two different styles, 1 being a portable system (can be removed and has to be set up each time) and the other is a fixed system (stays in place, not easily transferable). I have included an option for each below that fits your TJ. Personally, I prefer the fixed system because it does not require you to set it up each time you flat tow and take it out each time you want to use your... view full answer...
The towing wiring harness 4-Pole Flat part # 118694 for the 2017 Chevy Spark is different than the wiring needed for the tow bar to flat tow the vehicle. There is not a plug and play option for tow bar wiring on the Chevy Spark. I recommend to use the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs part # RM-155 which will give you a 6-way plug on the front of the vehicle and an additional bulb in the tail lights so you are not splicing in the vehicle's wiring. You will be bypassing the vehicle's... view full answer...
This is a good question but there isn't a supplemental braking system for flat towed vehicles that allows you to use a standard trailer brake controller. For a simpler setup that is similar to what you mentioned wanting you could use the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TRwhich rests in the floorboards of the towed vehicle and uses a wireless remote that installs in the cab of the towed vehicle. view full answer...
The first thing you need to flat tow 2008 Honda Fit is the correct fitting base plate kit which for that you'd want the Blue Ox # BX2252.
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. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the diode kit,... view full answer...
Both Jeeps (all models) and Honda CRV's can be flat towed (with a few steps to ensure your transmission is safe) and I recommend the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # SM99251
A supplemental braking system is a must when towing a car or truck behind your RV. Without it, the weight of the towed car can create a safety hazard, strain your RV's brakes, or affect your RV's warranty. Most states require a supplemental braking system.

In order to safely apply brakes while flat towing your Jeep Wrangler you need a supplemental brake system. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX83FR is designed to be installed on a trailer and apply hydraulic trailer brakes so it won't be compatible with a Blue Ox tow bar OR the bakes on your Wrangler.
For your application I recommend going with the Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494 because it is removable so you can install it in different tow... view full answer...
I checked with Roadmaster and they do not show any restrictions for the 2000 Dodge Dakota and the Even Brake, # RM-9400, so you can use it with your truck. You will want to consult the vehicle owners manual for specific information on flat towing the truck.
Most states do require a supplemental braking system when flat towing. The Even Brake is a proportional system that will apply the Dakota brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and... view full answer...
Besides the base plate kit and the maybe the wiring kit used, you should not have any issues using the components used to flat-tow your GMC Yukon XL to flat-tow your 2012 Ford Edge.
The item you selected, Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 4408-1, would be the correct kit for your 2012 Ford Edge. The # 4408-1 kit features removable draw-bars to make the base plate kit less visible when the vehicle is not being towed.

No, when you are flat towing a newer vehicle, like a 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, the odometer will not count the miles.
I would be happy to recommend a flat towing set up for your Trailhawk along with the Tow Bar and Braking System you have requested. I recommend going with a permanently installed braking system since you have a new vehicle. This will pay off in convivence in the long run over the universal ones that have to be pulled out every time you drive your Jeep. I have linked... view full answer...
The best option for flat tow wiring on the 2020 Jeep Wrangler is Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267. This will provide a 6-Way round harness on the front of the Jeep Wrangler that you can to your RV with the included flexible coiled cable.
If you are planning on using a supplemental braking system, you will need a stop light switch kit part # RM-751490 which will alert you when the Wranger's brakes are being applied while flat towing.

It cannot, as the system you mentioned is for trailer brakes; what you need is a supplemental braking system designed for flat towing, and for your 1998 Ford F-150 I like the Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494.
This will activate the brakes in your F-150 and is a portable system which means it isn't a permanent install so if you change your towed vehicle you can still use it and not have to buy a brand new system. The other parts needed to flat tow your... view full answer...
Yes, the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit part # 1011-3 and the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar part # RM-020 are a fit for your 2003 Suzuki XL-7 and will work well together. In order to complete a flat-towing setup you are going to need safety cables, flat-tow wiring, a supplemental braking system, and a possible high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations on each of these parts for you below.

The first thing to do when you're wanting to flat tow a vehicle is to check the owner's manual to ensure that your vehicle is capable of being flat towed and following any steps it lists to be ready to flat tow. The equipment you need to flat tow is a tow bar, tow bar wiring, base plates, safety cables, and a braking system. I have the following recommendations for your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee below:

The brake controller that comes with the Brake Buddy Stealth Supplemental Braking System # HM39530 is proprietary.
This controller is actually modeled after the Hopkins Agility Trailer Brake Controller # HM47295 and I've asked Brake Buddy if the Agility can be used as a replacement and they said that the flat-tow profile used with the Brake Buddy Controller # HM39533 is different than a regular electric brake controller so the one that comes with the Stealth HAS to be used with that system. view full answer...
Yes, you can flat tow your 1999 Chevrolet Suburban using the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit, part # 3101-1 with the RoadMaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar, part # RM-522.
I have included installation instructions for these parts as well as an installation video of this tow bar installed on a Chevrolet Sonic. The vehicle is different but the installation will be similar.
For lighting there are several options. If you will not be towing often then I recommend a magnetic kit like # RM-2120.... view full answer...

Yes, all states require a flat towed vehicle to have a supplemental braking system installed. For your 2018 Chevy Equinox I recommend a Demco SBS. There are two different Demco SBS Supplemental Braking Systems, the Stay-IN-Play item # SM99251 and the Air Force item # SM99243. The Stay-IN-Play is for motorhomes with hydraulic brakes and the Air Force is for motorhomes with air brakes.
This system permanently installs and will not be in the way when you are driving your Equinox. The operating... view full answer...
