What Components are Need to Tow a 2010 Chevrolet HHR Behind a 22 Foot Gulfstream BT Cruiser RV
Question:
Im trying to order all the parts I need to tow a 2010 Chevy HHR behind a 22ft Gulfstream BT Cruiser. I plan on ordering a Roadmaster XL base plate, a Sterling Tow Bar 4 or 6 wire? and a Roadmaster Brakemaster with breakaway. Does this sound reasonable and are there any wiring kits, etc. the mechanic will need? Thanks for any help you can provide.

It sounds like you pretty much have all your ducks in a row. The mechanic will need one more thing to complete your setup. He will need some sort of tail light system for the Chevy HHR. You can use a temporary light kit that uses magnets, like part # RM-2120. Or you can use a diode system like part # RM-154 that the mechanic will wire into the HHR so that when in tow, the factory HHR tail lights will be actiavted by the motorhome.
I have added a link to the part numbers below as well as a video of the diode kit being installed.
