I'm not completely understanding why you're needing an adapter, and why it'd need to reach around the bumper. Which hitch are you using? I'd recommend using the Curt Class II receiver hitch, part # C12054.
I'd recommend simply using a cargo carrier that's designed for a 1-1/4 inch receiver like the 20x48 Curt cargo carrier, part # C18110. Using an adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity (maximum amount of downward force that can be safely applied to hitch) by half. You'll avoid this... view full answer...
Thanks so much for the photos as they were very helpful; they show your trailer's drums are 12 inches in diameter, and that you do have a 5-bolt brake mounting flange. To switch from hydraulic to electric trailer brakes you are correct you would be able to use your current coupler as well as drums, and we do have the parts needed for you to switch, which are the following:
- Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA

First you need the base plate kit which you have already picked out part # RM-523162-4 which is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Cadillac SRX without cruise control.
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. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

Yes, there is an exterior connector for the trailer wiring harness. Tekonsha has a Wiring Harness for your 2017 Cadillac XT5, part # 118720, that will provide a 4-way trailer connector for you.
If you already have a trailer hitch installed, like part # e62AR, the connection that you will be looking for is just up and to the driver's side of your 2017 Cadillac XT5. Just connect the wiring harness that I mentioned earlier and you are good to go!

The factory plug on your 2014 Cadillax SRX will only work with a 4-way harness since it only has the functionality for the trailer lights. You will need to install the 4-way and then add a 7-way to it.
The most reliable option for a 4-way is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118259. Once installed, you can use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. This kit comes with the adapter, wiring, breakers, and everything else you need to upgrade to a 7-way. view full answer...
I recommend installing the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523179-5 on your 2020 Cadillac Escalade. This will require cutting 3 holes in the lower fascia of your front bumper for the mechanical and electrical connections. The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676 is their best selling tow bar. The aluminum and stainless steel construction provides for superior corrosion resistance over several years of use. You may need a High-Low adapter like the... view full answer...

To install the Hayes Engage Trailer Brake Controller # HA81760 on your 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT you will need the Universal Wiring Adapter # HA81789-HBC. The wires for the installation are bundled under the dash as there is not a factory connector like some other vehicles. I have linked below an installation video for a Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller # 90195 on a 2009 Escalade as it will show you the location of the wiring. The video also shows you the wiring under the hood... view full answer...
From what I've been able to determine from my research, all of the 2017 Cadillac XT5 have the plug that is used to connect a trailer wiring harness, so the Tekonsha # 118720 should work for you. If for some reason the plug has been removed, you would need to hard-wire in a harness like the Curt # C58044, but this is extremely unlikely. view full answer...
The 2004 Cadillac Escalade AWD can be flat towed by using a transmission lube pump from Remco Towing. You will also need base plates, a tow bar, safety chains, lighting, and supplemental braking.
For base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster XL base plates, # 199-5. These base plates are compatible with numerous Roadmaster tow bars and the draw bars can be removed when not towing the vehicle. For a compatible tow bar, I recommend the RoadMaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-422.... view full answer...
I don't have any information about which wire color you're needing, but what you're looking for is the wire that only shows signal with the brake pedal pushed. In a situation where the brake stoplight switch isn't easily accessible, or can't be found I'd recommend installing an auxiliary switch like the part # RM-751441 offered by Roadmaster. These switches are typically used for flat towing a vehicle, but they'll also work perfectly for this purpose. The switch is simple to install and... view full answer...

The correct Roadmaster base plate kit for your 2014 Cadillac SRX is the Roadmaster part # RM-523162-4. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
For braking you don't use a standard brake controller like when towing and instead you use supplemental braking which is a similar concept but different. 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... view full answer...

I have a creative solution for you. Unfortunately, we do not carry a customized-fit option for a hitch on your 1962 Cadillac DeVille convertable. The only option we have is to use a universal hitch like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide # C13701. The Curt universal hitch comes with adjustable brackets that will fit frames between 18-51 inches wide. In order to make sure that your frame falls within these dimensions, I recommend that you measure your frame (from side... view full answer...
It sounds like you are wanting to flat tow your 2013 Cadillac SRX behind your RV.
For a supplemental braking system, I really like the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251. This proportional system will activate as soon as your RV's brake lights go on and apply the brakes in your Cadillac with the same intensity that you are braking with inside the RV. It is a one-time setup, meaning you will not need to remove or activate anything each time you tow. The actual operating unit and actuating cylinder... view full answer...
