Expert Answers about Chevrolet Tow Bar Wiring
- Securing Cables of Wiring Kit RM-152-98146-7 to etrailer Tow Bar e74ZR
- With a wiring kit that has straight cables like your Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7, all you need to do is wrap the wiring cables right around the arm of your etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR.
This is the common practice for straight cable wiring kits; this will safely allow your cables to be up off the ground so they don't drag or get damaged.

view full answer... - Can I Dolly Tow a 2000 Jeep TJ Wrangler
- From what I was able to find in the owner's manual of the 2000 Jeep TJ Wrangler, you're not supposed to tow the vehicle on a tow dolly that leaves only 2 wheels on the ground (I do believe it's because of the transfer case). You can either flat tow the vehicle or tow it on a trailer/dolly that keeps all 4 wheels off the ground. In order to flat tow your TJ you'll need base plates, a tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables, supplemental braking and in most cases, a high/low adapter. I've...

view full answer... - Can Flat Tow Wiring Harness for 2011 Honda CR-V be Connected to Trailer Wiring Harness
- That is an excellent question. The difference between a trailer wiring harness like the Curt # C55106 and a flat tow wiring harness like the Hopkins # HM56300 (similar to the Curt you mentioned) for your 2011 Honda CR-V is that the trailer wiring harness sends power to trailer lights while the flat tow harness receives power from your motorhome. So even though they connect to the same circuits, they serve different purposes so they aren't interchangeable.
