Parts Needed To Tow Car with Car Dolly
Question:
I will be towing a car dolly with electric disk brakes with a 2006 Fleetwood Bounder Workhorse chassis. What do I need to safely do this? Controller, wiring, connections, etc. Tail lights for towed vehicle as well. Thanks

Expert Reply:
A car dolly like # RM-2050-1 comes with electric brakes, adjustable wheel nets fitting tires ranging from 12" to 16", tail/brake lights and a 6-way round trailer connector. Use of a towing dolly does require an electric brake controller that mounts inside the towing vehicle and that activates the tow dolly brakes when the motor home brakes are applied. One of the most popular is the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. You will also need a wiring kit, part # ETBC6. This kit includes everything needed to establish the 6-way wiring required to use a tow dolly behind your motor home.
I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to check out.
