How to Tow a 2010 Toyota Prius Behind an RV
Question:
I need to have my 2010 Prius’ brake lights and running lights operate from my 2000 Winnebago Journey 34B when it’s being towed. What do you have?

Expert Reply:
We actually do not carry any wiring to tow your 2010 Toyota Prius because per the owner's manual (And all the other sources I've looked at) that vehicle cannot be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. It has a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) which will be damaged during flat towing. Intsead it's recommended to tow the Prius on a dolly.
The Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 includes brakes. I recommend our # HS381-9000 kit because it includes everything you need. You may also need some additional wiring # 10-1-1.
If you're already towing the Prius on a dolly and just want to add additional lighting you can use a magnetic light kit, like part # TL21RK.
