Video Transcript for Review of Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring - RM-146-7
Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Roadmaster Seven Wire to Six Wire Flexo-Coil Kit. Now, this cord here will allow you to connect your motor home lights to your towed vehicle lights. The adapter cord can be used for multiple towing applications, so it is perfect for running power from the RV with the seven-way round plug, to your towed vehicle or trailer with the six-way round plug. It will include everything shown here on the table.
Just gonna zoom in. It's gonna include this flexo-coil cord with the seven-way round, the six-way round, the six-way socket, and the six-way mounting bracket with the hardware. Now, this flexor-coil cord can extend to more than eight feet, yet it'll still contract to prevent dragging and tangling of your cord. They use silicone injected plugs to prevent corrosion, and the electrical cord itself is resistant to water, oil, and chemicals. The plugs have been wired to standard electrical codes, meaning the center pin on the six-way plug right here is wired to 12 volt auxiliary power.
There are two different industry standards. And again, this one will have the center wired to 12 volt auxiliary power. Now, it is always recommended before towing that you use a test light to verify the motor home and tow vehicle matches before you're connecting the plugs. And one last note I do wanna mention on this, the flexo-coil cords are not intended for use with the Roadmaster All-Terrain tow bars, or any other tow bar that includes cable channel guides. You do only wanna use straight cords with those types of models.
But that should do it for the review on this Roadmaster Seven Wire to Six Wire Flexo-Coil Kit.

eTrailer was very helpful in choosing the correct hitch for our rv and car. They also provided a special brake application in the car that makes it super easy for toad braking.
I am 72, and I hook up this toad and pull it with confidence. The instructions to hook up the toad was presented with ease. They knew exactly what they were doing, and we didn't rush through the demonstration. I would recommend eTrailer to anyone.

Vehicle; 2019 Chevy Equinox 2.0 liter Turbo AWD

Since I installed these parts we have towed the Equinox about 20000 miles and havent had any problems with any of the products. They work exceptionally well. Very Happy

Wired up the 6 wire receptacle in place of the flat 4 plug and mounted to the base plate. Looks great. Checked that wires from MH match this for proper operation.

Product Review:
This is my second set of this kit. Setting up another TOAD. Very easy to install. Nice screw terminals with big enough holes for appropriate cable gauges. Everything you need is included. Even nuts/bolts.
Yes, I could have just ordered the receptacle for my second TOAD, but having a second cable as a spare is not such a bad idea ;)
Site Review: E-trailer is super easy to navigate. Easy to check out via CC or paypal...and you get follow up emails. No chasing after tracking numbers or order status' ... All diagrams and product data is available. If it isn't they'll get it for you ASAP. Top notch service IMO.

The 7 to 6 coiled cable from etrailer.com came the next day and is exactly as described. After having ordered the same item from another professional online hitch-seller in Texas, paying for the item, and waiting 3 weeks without even a thank you for your order or status of the order, I finally had to call and leave a voicemail, then call back the next day to find out the order might ship on Friday. Needless to say I cancelled the order and called and spoke to Jan at etrailer.com who handled my order and verified each item was in stock and would ship the next day. Boy was I surprised when the driver delivered my package at noon the next day. A real Professional company. Buy with confidence.

Perfectly. I always know the the electrical connection between the Motorhome and the towed vehicle will function as designed whenever I hook the two together.

Efficient and exactly what I needed! Th anks!
by: Dale H06/13/2020
This is a must have to connect your "toad" to your motorhome. It works very nicely with the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit with 4 Diodes.
Highly recommened.

by: Rick12/24/2022
Well made product. Have ordered a number of products and have never been disappointed. The service is excellent, all those I spoke with were knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend anyone needing a setup to tow a vehicle behind an rv go to etrailer, outstanding company!

Sturdy connector to give us the extra flexibility and length
by: Debby 09/16/2023
just what I needed
by: Paul09/27/2018
You get what you pay for, I paid for quality and that's what I got. This plug has not failed me yet, it was exactly the plug I needed to operate the towed vehicle brakes and additional line for battery charge while towing. Great product and I must say all the videos on etrailer are top notch quality and very helpful.
by: Sammy C.03/16/2014
Etrailer.com is a great place to shop. I experienced fast shipments and received orders were accurate. These products were just some of the products that I purchased for towing a 2014 Jeep Compass. I also purchased a Blue Ox Aventa LX tow bar and baseplate!

High quality. Received fast.
by: Jdhow04/05/2017
Works great! Can't beat etrailer fast delivery. Had to change receiver female socket on RV to position above hitch bar as kept bending on driveway. Nothing to do with this product though.
by: Lloyd K05/21/2014
If you're pulling a toad vehicle this cable has the 12v power going to the proper pin for charging your toad battery (some don't). It is well constructed and should last for years. I added a little silicon sealer to the ends where the cable meets the connector to assure water won't get in.
by: Ray 06/29/2023
Work well.... as described
by: Greg 07/01/2023
Great products and service
by: Roy03/20/2017
Received the product in a timely manor and installed it. Every time I hooked the toad all the lights worked the proper way. I only towed with the Motorhome on several trips and I am looking forward to another traveling season.
Thanks ETRAILER.
by: Steve06/01/2016
Purchased 7 wire to 6 wire coil kit and drop down receiver adapter. Had them sent to me while I was away on a trip. Timing was perfect.
Not my first purchase from e-trailer and definitely won't be my last.

- Will The Blue Ox Base Plate # BLU67XR Fit A 2022 Ford Bronco Badlands With Modular BumperYes, The Blue Ox Base Plate # BLU97XR is designed to fit all models of the 2022 Ford Bronco with a modular bumper. During the installation it will require some trimming of the bumper which includes the fascia, plastic and/or grille and some minor drilling. If you have not yet purchased a tow bar, the tow bar wiring kit, a braking system, and safety cables I will give a few recommendations for you below and some features that put them ahead of the other towing accessories that we carry.

I have the RoadMaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit, # RM-146-7, that is 8 feet long, but you would need to remove the 6-pole plug and attach the Hopkins Wiring Harness with 5-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - Vehicle End - 5' Long Item # HM37908, to give you a 5-Flat vehicle end or the Tow Ready 4-Flat Vehicle End Harness, # 18002, to give you a 4-Flat vehicle...

First you will to use the Roadmaster 7 Wire to 6 Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7. This kit will include a 6-way round connector that you will need to install onto your Honda CRV. You will need to cut off the existing 4-way connector and connect the wires to the 6-Way. I will attach a picture below to help you further. You will need to be sure to match...

- Is A Battery Disconnect Needed for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler To Prevent Dead BatteryThere isn't a battery disconnect required for the 2015 Jeep Wrangler. If it was required, it would state this in the owner's manual. In regards to the key position this would be listed in the flat-tow setup procedure for your vehicle which is in the owner's manual. I would not have any additional information outside of this. That said, the battery going dead is an easy fix as all you need to do is install a charge line between the motorhome and toad using the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line...
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Add Charge Line To a 2018 Jeep Cherokee Being Flat TowedIf you are already using a 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7 on your 2018 Jeep Cherokee, you will only need the Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25. Your RV should already have power on the 7-way, but if you do not have power on your charge line the Kit # RM-156-75 will allow you to add power to the 7-way on your RV. If your Jeep is only using a 4-way connector for tail lights you will need to add the Kit # RM-146-7 for the charge line.

view full answer... - Durability and Compatibility of Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil KitRoadmaster over-builds their products and we have not heard of any issues with coiled extension kit # RM-146-7 so I believe that you will like it and that it will last a good long while. The 6-Way connector in the kit will fit Blue Ox base plates. If it is a snug fit or off just a little you can get a deep well socket to gently bend the posts on the base plate.

- Recommended Tow Bar Wiring Kit For Flat Towing A 2024 Jeep Wrangler With ParkSense There unfortunately are no plug-and-play wire harnesses available for a 2024 Jeep Wrangler with ParkSense Proximity Sensors at this time so you'll need the Roadmaster Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM47ZR. You should have the socket and umbilical cord with your Nighthawk tow bar, but if you don't you'll need part # RM-146-7 as well. The Invisibrake # RM-8700 will require that you tap into the brake light switch on your Wrangler, which isn't useable...

I recommend using Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420 for this installation. For your vehicle wiring, I recommend the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56304 which is the easiest kit to install with no splicing required and connects directly to the Honda wiring harness behind the tail lights. You will also need the 48" Long 4-Pole Loop...

This is fuse #32 in the instrument panel fuse not to be confused with the engine bay fuse panel. In order to remove said fuse I recommend using a bypass since it does not require you to physically pull the fuse each time, but rather flick a switch. I recommend the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass part # RM76511 which offers a plug-in install. That...

We do not have the EZ2 base plates available for your vehicle. The biggest difference between the 2 base plate kits is that the # RM-521567-4 sits further back when installed for a cleaner look. Both systems feature removable arms and are compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars, so either one will work great with your Falcon 2. It sounds like you are...

This will fit the Blue Ox Adventurer, Aladdin, Allure, Alpha, Avail, Aventa, and Trion tow bars. If you have a different model tow bar let me know and I will help find an adapter or replacement. The Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56204 will plug directly into the taillights on your Liberty. This can connect directly to the motorhome via the 4-way connector that is on...

You can use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120. But instead of using the 4-Way flat at the front you would need to instead wire in a 6-Way using # RM-146-7. The 7-Way end will plug into the RV. The other end will plug into the 6-Way that you will mount at the front of the Mustang. The wires from...

- Flat Towing 7-Way cord That Will Add Charge Line to 2009 Jeep WranglerYou need the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7. It will have you cut off your 4-Way on the Jeep and wire in a 6-Way receptacle to give you an additional charge line circuit for your 2009 Jeep Wrangler. It is a better wiring connection as well as the 6-Way has a stronger connection that won't pull from the socket when towing. The entire cord is coiled to keep from dragging while towing as well. I recommend Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25. It utilizes a circuit breaker...
view full answer... - Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 2004 Jeep LibertyIn North America the 2004 Jeep Cherokee is actually referred to as the 2004 Jeep Liberty. Due to the design differences from the 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee you will need a different base plate kit for the 2004 model. All of our products are designed for the US market. If you have a 2004 Jeep Liberty the base plate kit number you would need is the Blue Ox # DM9518126. I have linked all the base plates for the 2004 Jeep Liberty for your convenience. In addition to base plates to properly...

It does however come with new mounting brackets as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Parts to Flat Tow a 2002 Jeep Wrangler with a Blue Ox Base Plate KitThank you for all of the information! The tow bar I recommend pairing with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1118 on your 2002 Jeep Wrangler is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e47ZR because it's at a good price point, comes with safety cables, and has some height adjustability in the head unit to help minimize the need for a high-low adapter. To add wiring I recommend combining the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56202 with the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit #...
view full answer... - What Causes the Battery To Die On a 2017 Buick Envision While In Tow Even With Fuses PulledThe fuses you will need to pull/disable prior to towing a 2017 Buick Envision are the #29 Body Control Module 1 and #32 Body Control Module 2 which are both located in the instrument panel fuse block which is in the passenger glove box. That said, there is still a chance your battery could drain on longer trips so the solution for you is to install a charge line between the toad and motorhome, the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-156-25. If you are only using...
view full answer... - Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for Roadmaster All-Terrain Tow BarsFor the all terrain tow bars the non-coiled wires are recommended since the arms telescope and the all-terrain bars come with guides. But if you really wanted to use the # RM-146-7 with an all-terrain bar you can technically still do it. A better recommendation would be the # RM-98146-7 as this is a straight cord. However, I attached a picture that shows the # RM-146-7 being used with the Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 which is an all-terrain tow bar.
