Lights Needed For Dolly Towing A 2017 Ford Escape Behind A Motorhome
Question:
I have a 2017 Ford Escape that I would like to tow behind a motorhome on a tow dolly. Do you have a wiring harness for connecting Escape to motor home trailer connector?

Hey Dan,
If you already have the dolly and just need some lights then you can just use some magnetic lights like the Optronics # TL21RK. These simply plug into the 4-pole connector on your motorhome to transfer the signals back to the lights that you can stick on the roof at the back of the vehicle. Any excess cable can be round up and secured in place by the windshield wipers.
If you haven't picked out a tow dolly yet then I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. This comes with build in lights in the fenders as well as electric brakes to ease the burden on your motorhome.
I've attached video links below for both parts to give you a better look at how they work.
