view full answer... - Recommended Battery Charge Line for Motorhome with Toad
- If you are only using a 4 way from your motorhome it won't have the 12V power line to charge your battery in your toad. If you use a 7-way then it has that already integrated if it is connected properly. I recommend using a 7-way on your motorhome which if you only have a 4-way means using a kit like # ETBC7L and # 12-1-1 for any extra length needed. Then I recommend using the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for...

view full answer... - Ballmount for Towing Rental Trailer With 1994 GMC Jimmy
- The Curt Class III you mentioned, part # 18083 would be an excellent choice. To choose the correct ballmount, we typically recommend measuring the receiver height of the vehicle and the coupler height of the trailer. The difference between these two measurements would be the rise or drop needed for your ballmount. If the receiver height is taller than the coupler height, use a drop. If the receiver height is lower than the coupler, use a ballmount with a rise. I have linked you to an FAQ...
view full answer... - Best Brake Controllers for a 2000 GMC Jimmy
- If your 2000 GMC Jimmy came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector then the only item you will need is the brake controller itself. The vehicle will already have wiring for a brake controller located under the dash and to the left of the steering column. It is held together with a white tag.
For a brake controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable. If you have limited space the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite # RED44FR is a great option as...

- Are you sure you have a 1992 S15 Jimmy and not a 1991? We don't have an S15 made after 1991 so most likely you have a 1991 like what this fits. This hitch # 13083 the S15 models from years 1983 to 1991.

- The axle tag may be wrong but you really don't need to look into this too much further as you have given me the two bits of information that I need to confirm the correct braking assemblies and that is the number of bolts on the brake mounting flange and the size of your braking assemblies. Based on this, I can confirm the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA are a fit and will work on your trailer. These are also commonly used with hubs/drums that have a 6 lug pattern.

- I would recommend you get a CURT Trailer Hitch # C13020. This hitch is a custom install hitch designed specifically to work on your 1997 GMC Jimmy. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.
Both of the hitches that you referenced would not work for your vehicle. The Valley Hitch # V75300 is designed to be installed on square RV bumpers and the CURT Hitch # E-3S does not have the correct bolt pattern for what you need.
We are located in Wentzville,...
view full answer... - Installing Brake Controller in 1998 GMC Jimmy with Cut Off 4-Way
- The kit you'll want instead of the # 37185 is the part # ETBC7L as it comes with the same 4-way to 7-way adapter but it also comes with the wiring needed to install a brake controller like the Curt # C51180. Since your 4-way was cut off you'd need to also cut the wire off of the 7-way adapter and hardwire the connections there.
Since 4-ways use standard colors you'd just need to wire them color for color. For butt connectors to make these connections you'll want the # DW05714 for each...

- There are base plate kits available for your 2000 GMC Jimmy with 4-wheel drive. Check out the Roadmaster kit # 165-2. This base plate kit is confirmed to work on 2000 GMC Jimmys with 4 wheel drive.

view full answer... - Base Plates, Tow Bar, Wiring, and Safety Cables to Flat Tow a 1999 GMC Jimmy
- If you have a regular model 1999 GMC Jimmy (not an S-15 model) then you will need to use a tow dolly like the RoadMaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes, # RM-2050-1, as there are no base plates available for the Jimmy.
If you have an S-15 Jimmy, there are base plates available depending on what model you have.
For a Jimmy Envoy, 4 wheel drive and not a Black Diamond, ZR2, or Xtreme, use # 179-2.
