Roadmaster Universal Diode Wiring Kit Installation - 2020 Chevrolet Equinox

Hey neighbors, it's Brad at etrailer. And today I want to walk you through a look and the installation of the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit. Now, this kit allows the lighting functions of your coach to be transferred to your vehicle, which in this case, we have a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. So as you can see, the turn signal on our coach is on, and it's also transferring that on our vehicle, which for people behind us, it makes it easy for them to see what you're doing. So the diode is installed behind your tail light to your factory wiring. These prevent backfeed from the motor coach to protect what wiring you have in your vehicle. more

Roadmaster Diode 7 to 6 Wire Coil Kit Installation - 2020 Lincoln Nautilus

Hey everybody, how's it going Today we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit here on a 2020 Lincoln Nautilus. So what is a diode wiring kit and why do we need it Well, it's actually pretty simple. It's gonna be a required component for our flat-tow setup. It's gonna take the signals from the motorhome lights and transfer them over to the vehicle, because in a lot of cases, the lights on our motorhome are not gonna be visible because we have the vehicle blocking them. Therefore, we need a way to transmit the signals to let other motorists out on the road know what signals we're gonna be making, so we can arrive at our destination safe and sound without breaking any laws. So the Roadmaster diode wiring kit certainly isn't the only option to transmit the signals from the motorhome to the towed vehicle. more
