• Can A Brake Controller Be Added To A Supplemental Braking System?
• There is not going to be a brake controller that is going to work with your Roadmaster 9700 Braking System due to it being a supplemental braking system that has its own braking power and operation built into the unit. This unit will activate the brakes on your towed vehicle whenever the motorhome brakes are applied, and will use a preset pressure - light, medium, heavy, or emergency braking. However, if you're wanting to add a brake controller like # 90195 to your vehicle that is separate...

• Flat Towing 2015 Honda Fit EX-L Automatic Behind a Class A Motor Home
• When it comes to deciding if any given vehicle can safely be flat towed with all wheels down that determination goes to the vehicle's manufacturer. I reviewed the online version of the owner's manual for the 2015 Honda Fit EX-L and in the section titled Emergency Towing there is a statement on page 428 that says "...towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the transmission." No mention is made if this refers to all versions or only to versions with the automatic transmission....

• Magnetic Battery Powered Lights to Be Mounted on a Trailer
• We do have some magnetic lights that operate on batteries. They're technically emergency lights but they have a constant shine setting. Of course they will not operate as brake or turn signals which I cannot recommend you tow your trailer without. A few examples: # HF18R-HD # HF18R-MB # HF18A-MB You might want to have your truck checked by a mechanic, if you haven't already. I know it will cost more money but if you're paying a shop to perform the repair it should solve the problem...

• Parts to Add 5-Pole Wiring to 2014 Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet for Boat Trailer Surge Coupler
• You can use the Curt 4-pole wiring harness kit # C59236 along with 5-pole adapter # 20036 since there is no 5-pole kit for your 2014 Nissan Murano Cross Cabriolet.

• Blue Ox Tow Bar Base Plates and Wiring for 2011 Honda Element
• If your Element is not an SC model, you would use the BX2232 base plate kit. Neither Blue Ox nor Roadmaster offer a base plate kit for the 2011 Honda Element SC. The Blue Ox Alpha, part # BX7380 would be a great choice for you. The Alpha includes safety cables, is self aligning and will easily fold up against the rear of the motor home when not in use. To wire your vehicle so its tail lights work in tandem with the RV, you would need a Coiled Electrical Cord and Plugs, part # BX8861 and...

• Parts Needed to Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller on a 2001 GMC Savana 2500
• The brake controller and wiring options for a 2001 GMC Savana can be tricky. If you have a bundle of wires in the jack storage compartment, I would ask that you test them for function using a circuit tester like # PTW2993 and label them. If you find that you have 7 wires (left turn/brake, right turn/brake, running lights, 12-volt power, reverse lights, brake controller output, and ground) then you can use the Pollak 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket, # HM40975 and Pigtail Wiring Harness,...

• Wiring Harness for 2003 Toyota Tacoma to Allow Installation of Hopkins Backup Camera HM50002
• The Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera and Hitch Aligner System # HM50002 is designed for use with a 7-way-equipped vehicle since that type of connector provides the reverse light signal to activate it when you're backing up. Since your Tacoma has only a 4-pole flat trailer connector (which does NOT include a reverse light signal) you'll need to add one. The Hopkins system uses a round U.S. Car connector format for installation. You will need to install Hopkins Universal Wiring Harness...

• Parts Needed to Install a Trailer Brake Controller on a 2008 Nissan Titan
• In order to install a brake controller on your 2008 Nissan Titan, you will only need the brake controller and a wiring harness since all of the other components are already in place.

The vehicle specific wiring harness for a 2008 Nissan Titan is # 3050-P. The adapter plugs in a 6-pin connector on the...
