Flat Tow 2013 Chevrolet Spark
Question:
We just purchased a 2013 Chev Spark to flat tow behind our 24foot Minnie Winnie. We already have all the major parts of a towmaster, just need the base plates for the Spark. Can I purchase these alone?

There are 2 models of StowMaster Tow Bars available, the # RM-501 and the # RM-504. Both are a coupler style and rated for 6,000 lbs. with one for a 2" ball the other for a 2-5/16". For the 2013 Chevrolet Spark, the StowMaster tow bars will match with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit, # 523174-1.
For a lighting kit, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267.
I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System, # BLU37TR. This is easily installed without major modifications to the Spark, you may also need the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, # RM-9332 to power it.
