• Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector or Tow Bar Wiring Harness to Charge Battery on a 1994 Ford Mustang
  If you are looking for a tow bar wiring harness for the front of your 1994 Ford Mustang that plugs into a 7-Way then I have a solution though there are no custom fit wiring harnesses available. You can use a magnetic kit such as # C-ATL20A. But instead of using the 4-Way flat at the front you would need to instead wire in a 6-Way using # RM-146-7. The 7-Way end will plug into the RV. The other end will plug into the 6-Way that you will mount at the front of the Mustang. The wires from...

• Comparison Of Roadmaster And Blue Ox 7-Wire to 6-Wire Coiled Electrical Cord
  The difference between the # RM-146-7 and # BX88206 coiled 7-wire to 6-wire cord is minor. The Roadmaster cord can be expanded to 8-ft and the Blue Ox expands to 7-ft.

• Does the Battery Have to be Disconnected to Flat Tow a 2015 Chevy Suburban Behind a Motor Home
  The battery should be disconnected because your 2015 Chevy Suburban has some feature that draws power when the vehicle key is in the towing position indicated in the owner's manual. If you leave the battery connected then what will happen is the battery will drain unless you stop frequently enough to let the Suburban motor run so the alternator can charge the battery back up. But there is a way to provide a maintenance charge to the vehicle battery when flat towing it with the battery...

• Is the Roadmaster 7-Way to 6-Way Connection Cable Waterproof?
  The Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit # RM-146-7 is a water resistant cable, but it is not waterproof because of the electrical connections. The connections will stand up to extreme rain without issue, but are not designed to be completely submerged. Using dielectric grease like # 11755 will help keep moisture and debris out of the connections as well, but won't allow the connections to be submerged. Many people that use this kit will also use the Roadmaster Battery Charge...

• Connecting 12 Volt Power From RV to Battery on 2010 GMC Sierra through 7-Way to 6-Way Cable
  I can explain how to attach a wire from the 6-Way connector in Roadmaser kit # RM-146-7 to the battery on your 2010 GMC Acadia. The center pin on the 6-Way is the 12 volt circuit. Attach one end of a wire to the back of that 6-Way, center pin. Then route the wire in such a way that it does not make contact with any hot or moving parts under the hood. Route the wire over to the positive battery terminal and attach it to a free stud with a ring terminal. For wire you can use # 12-1-1,...

• Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for Roadmaster All-Terrain Tow Bars
  For the all terrain tow bars the non-coiled wires are recommended since the arms telescope and the all-terrain bars come with guides. But if you really wanted to use the # RM-146-7 with an all-terrain bar you can technically still do it. A better recommendation would be the # RM-98146-7 as this is a straight cord. However, I attached a picture that shows the # RM-146-7 being used with the Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 which is an all-terrain tow bar.

• Recommendation On Using A RoadMaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit on a 2016 Ford Focus Hatchback
  Yes, it is possible to use a 7-way to 6-way coil cable to connect between your RV and your 2016 Ford Focus Hatchback. You will need the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit, # RM-146-7. Once you have the Roadmaster Universal Diode Wiring Kit, # RM-154, installed, the front 4-flat plug can be cut and removed. The 4 wires are then wired into the 6 pin connector. The connector is installed on the front of the focus. The Flex-Coil cable can be installed between the 6 pin connection...

  To extend the 7-Way trailer connector out from the back of your truck to the mount on the SuperTruss extension I recommend # TLW6036 which is 36 inches long. Then you could use the Flexo-Coil kit # RM-146-7 like normal.

• Can Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Coiled Cord be Used on Vehicle with Blue Ox Base Plates/Tow Bar
  You can definitely use the Roadmaster # RM-146-7 over the Blue Ox # BX88206 even if you have a Blue Ox base plate kit/tow bar setup. The only time that you need to use specific wiring is when the wiring is built-in to the tow bar. If you don't already have the wiring on the vehicle then you ay be interested in the Roadmaster Kit # RM-15267 instead. This has the same connectors that you mentioned plus the diodes and wiring needed for a complete installation. This kit is pretty universal,...

• Can Battery on 2015 GMC Terrain be Charged While Flat Towing it Behind a Motor Home
  Check the owners manual for the vehicle you intend to flat tow because you may or may not have to disconnect the battery to flat tow it. If you do not then it is possible that there is some feature that could drain the battery while in tow. And of course if you do have to disconnect the battery it would not drain. To provide a maintenance charge to the vehicle while in tow you would attach a charge wire to the battery and connect it to the Terrain side connector. I recommend using a...

• Durability and Compatibility of Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit
  Roadmaster over-builds their products and we have not heard of any issues with coiled extension kit # RM-146-7 so I believe that you will like it and that it will last a good long while. The 6-Way connector in the kit will fit Blue Ox base plates. If it is a snug fit or off just a little you can get a deep well socket to gently bend the posts on the base plate.

• Charging Battery on 2005 Jeep While Being Towed Behind Motorhome
  In order to get power from your motorhome to your 2005 Jeep while you're flat towing you'll need a working 7 way with 12 volts. Since the front of your Jeep has a 4 way flat on it you will need to change out the plug because all 4 wires are being used. The tail light circuit won't have enough power to charge the battery and run the lights on your Jeep, however you won't be forced to rewire everything, just the plug on the front of the Jeep. If you don't have 12V at the back of the 7...

• Base Plate for 2014 Jeep Wrangler With 1 D-Ring Bumper Mounts
  We have exactly what you need to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Wrangler with an off-road bumper that has 1" D-ring brackets, the Adapter for Jeep D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motor Home Mount Tow Bars - 1" Thick # RM-035-1. As the name of the product states, however, they will require a Roadmaster tow bar as there are no adapters to use with a Blue Ox tow bar. For this I highly recommend checking out the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 because it has long arms...

• How to Change Out 4-Way at Rear of Motorhome to Work with 7-Way on Trailer
  Thank you for the pictures! What you may be able to do is install the Hopkins # HM47210 on your motorhome to replace your current 4-Way round connector. I'm guessing the 2 wires for your brake controller system are for 12V power and for the brake controller signal. If this is the case then you will need to connect the following functions on your motorhome wiring with the following wires from the Hopkins connector: White - Ground Yellow - Left Stop/Turn Green - Right Stop/Turn Brown...

• 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter that Has 14 Gauge Wire for Power and Ground Circuits
  We have the Roadmaster 7-way to 6-way coiled adapter part # RM-146-7 which has 14 gauge for the 12 volt power and ground circuits. The reason the Blue Ox has a ground wire with a heavier gauge is that if more than one circuit was active on the the heavier ground circuit would be beneficial as all of the circuits have to run back through the ground.

  If your 2020 Spark is equipped with a manual transmission it can be flat towed, otherwise you'd need to use a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1.

For a towbar, you cannot go wrong with the Falcon All Terrain,...
