Can Power Cable on Nighthawk Tow Bar be Run on Opposite Side of Tow Bar
Question:
1st: Can the light wiring be run down the right-hand as installed tube instead of the left? My plugs are all on the passenger side of the MH. 2nd: Where does the LED strips get there power from? Ive looked at the parts drawing and the installation, and can not see how the LEDs are wired. Thank You.

I was talking to our shop manager about this and you can't really move the wiring harness on the Nighthawk tow bar # RM-676 from one side to the other. It is unlikely to be a problem in terms of length because the coiled cable does stretch. Another option is to use a small extension such as # TLW6021 which is 24 inches long.
Part of the issue is that the LED lights run off of the running light wire in that harness and there isn't a way to access it. At least not easily.
