• 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...

• For a 2013 Honda CR-V we have the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2258 that will work well with your Blue Ox Tow Bar.

• How to Keep Blue Ox Patriot II from Draining Battery in 2008 GMC Sierra 1500
  
• Since the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56101 has built-in diodes you will not get any feedback through the wiring. No additional wiring or kit is required to keep that from happening. Depending on how far you are traveling and how much braking you are doing, it could be possible that the Blue Ox Patriot II # BRK2016 would drain your battery, especially if the ignition key has to be left in the on position. To help eliminate the possibility of your battery becoming drained...

• You can connect the Replacement LED Monitor Light # SM99612 to the blue wire of the breakaway switch that comes with the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 but since you don't have to disconnect the battery on your 2004 Jeep Liberty you can just route the wire to the cold side of the stop light switch. This is located behind a panel under your steering wheel and you will need to find what wire is related to this. When we did some testing we found this to be the white wire with the brown stripe...

• Braking System Runs Down Battery on a 2016 Chevy Equinox
  
• The problem you are having isn't a battery in the Patriot itself. But this is a pretty easy fix. As you may have read in your vehicle owner's manual to avoid running the battery down while flat towing your 2016 Chevy Equinox you will need to remove fuse 32 from the instrument panel fuse block. You can use a fuse bypass, # RM76510, to make this process as easy as flipping a switch. Removing the fuse also means that the Patriot will not be getting any power if it is plugged into a vehicle...

For that you would want the Roadmaster kit part # RM-524431-5 that has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. The arms of the kit are removable so when you aren't flat towing the vehicle you wouldn't have two large metal arms sticking out of the front of the vehicle.

• Recommendation for Disconnecting the Battery or Running a Hot Wire When Wiring a Jeep Toad Vehicle
  
• You could route the power wire from the RV 7-Way trailer connector to the Jeep battery to help maintain the Jeep battery when towing. The problem is that the 12 volt circuit will most likely not be able to keep up with the amperage draw on the Jeep battery when towing, because of the distance from the RV charging system, and you would need trailer connectors to accommodate the extra wire on the tow bar jumper harness and the Jeep. I recommend installing an Auto Battery Disconnect, #...

• Recommended Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015-2018 GMC Canyon or Chevy Colorado
  
• The GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado are practically the same vehicle with 2 different names. When it comes to flat towing they both have the same instructions and fits. For the 2015-2018 model years you can flat tow a 4WD but you cannot flat tow a 2WD. Whichever way you decide to go, make sure it is a 4WD so you can flat tow it. A complete flat towing setup includes a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low...

• Wiring Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Jeep Wrangler
  
• It sounds like you've created your own umbilical to go from the 7-way on your RV to a 7-way on your Jeep. The Hopkins connector # H20043 is 4 feet long, which isn't going to be long enough to bridge the gap of space for flat towing. You're going to need at least 6 foot umbilical. For a 6 foot 7-way molded cable use # H20044. We typically don't see 7-ways on the front of vehicles, for a great 7-way to 6-way umbilical with a 6-way (which is most common) connecter and mounting bracket I...

• Maintaining Battery in Vehicle Being Flat Towed Behind RV
  
• First, you will need to confirm that the vehicle is suitable for flat towing. From what I have read on page # 319 through 321 of the owners manual, your GC can be flat towed if the transfer case has a Neutral position. If your 7-way on your RV has a 12-volt power feed (typically the pin in the 1:00 position), you can use that circuit to maintain your battery, however it will not charge a discharged battery. We offer a Flexo Coil Umbilical kit, part # RM-146-7 that would work well...

This will have you add LED's to your tail light housing for a clean...

• 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...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali Behind a Motor Home
  
• To keep a maintenance charge on the battery I recommend using a harness such as # RM-146-7 with the tow bar wiring you will be using so that you can install a charge line kit, # RM-156-25, from the front of the truck to its battery. The charge line kit uses the 12 volt power pin on your motorhome's 7-way to provide a maintenance charge to the battery on your 2015 GMC Yukon XL. It won't charge a dead battery but it will keep the truck's battery from dying while you're towing it. We...
