Video Transcript for Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring RM-156-25 Review
Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Roadmaster Battery Charged Line Kit for towed vehicles. Now this kit will allow up to 15 amps from your RV's battery to be used to maintain the charge of your towed car's battery while the car is being towed, and it does provide just 15 amps to avoid overcharging. This will connect the battery to your 6-way or 7-way plug at the front of your towed car. Receives the power from your RV, so it does require a separate charge line. Now if there's no charge line present in your RV, it will require Roadmaster's Motor Home Battery Line, which is part number RM-156-75, which we do sell separately on our website, and is listed on this product page as a related product.This part will include everything laid out here on the table. The 14 gauge wire, the split wire loom, the circuit breaker, all the hardware and connectors to hook it up, a couple of cable ties to take up any slack in the wiring, and even a nice set of detail installation instructions on how to install everything.
This part is made in the U.S.A. That should do it for the review on the Roadmaster Battery Charged Line Kit for towed vehicles.

Ordered 3 parts: RM-156-25; RM-156-75 and DW05745-10. All received very quickly, as is the case when I purchase from etrailer. More importantly, I get a 'live person' when I call for assistance and the service rep. is always knowledgable ( not an answering service that "will have someone call back". Time was spent with me answering all my questions and providing suggestions and opinions when I as for them, related to my project. Great company, great service - keep up the great work! 693892

I have a battery charger cable from my RV to the towed car. My battery is in the rear so the instructions state I can attach the wires to the battery connector points up front. But then it says to attach the charger thing as close to the battery as possible. Question - Do I put the charging thing in the rear or the front 582538
Comments
According to Roadmaster, its best to install the circuit breaker which is the small box with the two terminals on it that I believe you were referring to as close as possible to the battery.

I installed this baseplate on my 2003 Honda CRV myself. It was a challenge for an inexperienced mechanic but successful in spite of that. Following the clear instructions, the unit fit well into the CRV chassis. Installing it myself has also given me confidence in towing that I may not have had by giving that task to someone else. I wired the CRV and RV 6 way and 7 way connectors including power to charge the CRV's battery while towing. After towing the car for several thousand miles, I am very satisfied with the base plate, tow bar, and installation. 681269

this does not isolate your battery from feeding back into your motorhome, this is simple a circuit breaker with a piece of wire and connectors. if it was a real kit it should have a protective diode to insure issues in the towed vehicle do not interfere with the charging system in your motorhome, as it is this is just a jumper between the alternator/battery in the motorhome and the alternator/battery in your towed vehicle. 477658

I bought and installed base plate and wiring on a 2018 Ford C-Max hybrid car. The wiring was a little complicated due to the hybrid setup on the car, however, everything worked out well. I have done this on several other cars I have towed behind my motorhomes. All products and help from etrailer.com was excellent. The video presentation was very helpful. 681635

I ordered all the parts required to safely flat tow out 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk from etrailer.com. The only part they didn't have was the Mopar Flat Tow Enhancement kit Jeep requires to flat tow this model. Ordering from them was great, the website is easy to use and I was able to locate all the pieces compatible with my specific vehicle. The expert recommendations help my decision choosing the right parts. I ordered from etrailer even though I found some of the parts on other websites a little cheaper. I chose to pay a little more because of all the effort etrailer has put into installation videos and guides. I was very pleasantly surprised to learn from etrailer that they have a price match guarantee! So my equipment consisted of the following Mopar Flat Tow Enhancement Kit (from Jeep) Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles Mighty Cord 7-Way RV Style Trailer Connector - Trailer End WesBarg 7-Way, RV-Style Connector w/ 6' Long Coiled Cable Trailer End Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket - Vehicle End Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount - 6,500 lbs Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Blue Ox Tow Bar Cover - Aladdin, Aventa LX, Aventa II The installation videos are great but not all inclusive. Take the time to read the instructions that come with the parts. This is a major project, I took about 30 hrs over a full week but as you'll see in the pictures I took s few extra steps to make a cleaner look. Some of those extra steps: The base plate install requires the bumper be modified cutting off a flange on each side, I spray painted this to prevent corrosion. In the install video of the baseplate on the drivers side they use an extra quick link (not included) to run the safety cable around the wiper fluid reservoir. I took the time to remove it and run the safety cable behind it. I didn't want our nice new vehicle to look like it can be towed so I played the brake away switch and 7 way trailer plug behind the license plate, so when not being towed our vehicle looks great! Some things to be aware of. The Brake air cylinder that mounts to the brake pedal with four bolts may need longer bolts, it did on our Jeep. Spend the money for weather tight heat shrink crimp fittings. The Hopkins wire harness was about 1.5 feet short to get to my plug location. Buy extra zip ties, electrical tape and split loom. I recommend reading all the various installation manuals and watching all the videos because the various components integrate together and if you install one at a time you'll be doing a bunch of extra work. The brake light relay is a real pain in the butt, not because of the hardware but because of the location of the brake light switch which is very hard to get to. Overall I am very happy with the products and how the installation looks. We haven't towed it yet but do not expect any problems. 410271

Still very happy with our purchase. We’ve towed over 10k miles and have had zero issues with our tow setup. I’ve shared my experience with several other RVrs and recommended your company for their needs. Thank you,

The products I ordered were all delivered earlier than I expected and were of good quality. All the products are installed and work as they were designed to perform. When researching what I needed on the web I had some questions. Kim P. answered all my questions and proceeded to take my order so I didn't have to complete the order on line. If you are lucky to get Kim on the phone rest assured you have a dedicated employee who will get you the answers you seek. 470810

I am glade the products are available. I am happy with the guick shipping & delivery. However, there are a couple of issues with the rectifier I received with the towed vehicle charge kit I recever for my Chev Spark. 1. 2 self tapping screws were included in the kit. However, there are no tabs on the rectifier for the screws to attach the rectifier to the car. 2. The posts on the rectifiers are to long for attaching one ring terminal. 3. There should be rubber or plastic cover for the terminals to prevent accidentally shorting them. Other then these issues, I am grateful for the kits, if they work as planned it will be great. One less thing to do when towing my Chev Spark. I hope these issues will help improve your product. 664411

First, the customer service was excellent! Then after installation we have taken a long trip totaling over 1000 miles. The longest leg of the trip was almost 8 hours driving. The charge line worked perfectly, and we had no problems whatsoever with the battery! What a relief from having a dead battery at the end of each trip! 663782

Product helped me hook the battery on my tow vehicle to charge it when being towed. The recommendation of doing the install during the mounting of baseplate saved a lot of work and time on the videos on etrailer. The corregated wire cover tends to let the wires slip out thus not a 5 star rating. 639352

- Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015-2018 Ford F-150 Behind a Motorhome
- In order to flat-tow a thirteenth generation (2015-2018) Ford F-150 with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome you are going to need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tail light wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. There may also be a few other smaller components that are needed depending on options the vehicle is equipped with.
For a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-676. The Nighthawk...

- The Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency Portable Braking System # BRK2016 referenced in your question will be powered by your Honda Fit's battery, so if you will be towing for long periods of time or if the vehicle is not started periodically, it's possible that the battery can be drained.
I recommend checking the owner's manual for your Honda Fit for any guidelines or steps that need to be taken before flat towing. Many vehicles will require that the battery be disconnected for this reason....

I recommend installing this base plate using Loctite threadlocker # LT37420 to keep your hardware from vibrating loose over time.

One of the best tow bars on the market is the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, part # RM-676. It's a non-binding tow bar that makes it easier to connect on unlevel ground. The arms are also self-aligning to...

A better option for you would be to run a charge line kit like part # RM-156-25 from the tow vehicle to the toad. If you are towing the vehicle behind an RV than you would also most likely need a charge line kit for the RV like part # RM-156-75.

- Magnetic tow lights, like part # TL21RK, do their job just fine, are less expensive, and don't require much to setup so they're not a bad option by any means. The only real drawbacks to them is that you need to set them up or take them off each time you change from towing to driving the Jeep. They also have a chance of scratching the Jeep's paint since they're being attached to its surface each time. We often recommend them if you're not going to be towing the vehicle very often or if...
