For your 2009 Pontiac Vibe and your Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar # RM-522, I recommend you start with the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 523156-1 which are confirmed to fit your vehicle. If you don't have safety cables, I recommend the # RM-643.
For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will give you a clean 6 way on the front of your vibe, give you a clean coiled connector cable, and allow you the functions like battery maintenance. It will protect your system while utilizing your tail lights.
For your supplemental braking, I recommend the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # SM99251. This will give you a proportional braking system that will apply the brakes to your Vibe with the same intensity and at the same time you hit the brake pedal in your motorhome. This system only requires adjustment at install and then becomes a plug and play system that you won't even see. It is extremely reliable and our installation team's favorite.
Finally, you will need a high-low adapter. I've attached an article to assist and have also linked the page to your options.
This will give you a complete system for your 2009 Pontiac Vibe.
