Recommended Tow Bar Wiring For 1999 Chevrolet Tracker Being Flat-Towed Behind Motorhome
Question:
Is there a custom fit wiring harness to connect the lights on a 1999 Chevy Tracker to tow it behind a motorhome?

Expert Reply:
The tow bar wiring kit I recommend for your 1999 Tracker is the Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles with Separate Lighting, part # 154-792-118158. You will need to hard wire the kit to your vehicle lighting which may mean you have to remove the tail lights to get to the wiring on your Tracker. We do not offer a custom wiring kit for your vehicle.
I have attached a couple drawings that show how the wiring needs to be run on your vehicle you can check out.
If you have a 7-way connector on the back of your RV I recommend using an adapter like part # PK12716. This plugs into the 7-way connector and provides a 4-way connector for the tow bar wiring harness.
There are 5 things you need when towing a vehicle. You need base plates for the towed vehicle, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the towed vehicle like # 154-792-118158, and most states now require a supplemental brake system. If you do not have the other items I mentioned let me know and I can make some recommendations that will work for you.
