Video Transcript for Breaking Down the Blue Ox 6-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord with 6-Way, Round Plugs
Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Blue Ox six wire coiled electrical cord. This is a six wire extension cord that can be used for multiple towing applications, but most commonly, it is gonna be used for running power from your RV to your towed vehicle. This does include two six-way round female plugs that will mount onto your RV and your towed vehicle for a quick, easy hookup. You can see these do have these spring-closed lids that are gonna help protect your connections when you're not hooked up. And then when you do plug this in, it's going to have a locking feature on it.
So as you lower this lid, it's going to lock onto that cable, so it's gonna help prevent accidental disconnects. And so you'll lift that up, and then pull out the cable to disconnect. This cable is a coiled design, so it is going to keep your cable up off the ground, prevent it from dragging and tangling, but when you need the overall length, it will stretch out to over seven feet in length, and so it is going do a good job of providing that connection for you, even if you're taking turns and that sort of thing, it's going to move, stay up off the ground, but still give you that length that you need. This does have silicone-encased wire connections that are going to help prevent any corrosion, so it is gonna hold up well for you and last you a nice long time. And it is made here in the USA, so you can trust it's made to the high quality standards that we've come to know and trust for products that are made here in the US.
So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..

Product came early and it met our needs to be able to hook up all the lights we needed on our tow car that had our bikes on the back, we needed extra lights for the top of the car as the bike cover covered up our car lights

Had to change the plug ins on both vehicles but they were included with the cable and were not hard to replace.
They were in need of replacement anyway so it all worked out.

far I am quite pleased. I installed the Blue Ox base plate on my 2012 Wrangler yesterday afternoon. Complete installation took about 3 hours and worked exactly as it should have. Mechanical experience and a good set of tools are very helpful.

Was very happy with the service. Good price. It took a little longer than I expected as this company had to get it from Blue Ox. I would have been happy to get it straight from Blue Ox but I know they don't sell retail. Overall, very happy with etrailers service.

Cord has plastic plugs instead of metal, so they won't last as long. I needed the cable but not the female ends, and wish I could have bought only the cable for a lesser price.

- Recommended 6-Way to 6-Way Flat Towing Coiled Cables Hey Bob, welcome back. Blue Ox has that exact cable with 6-way plastic connectors now or Roadmaster has it with the 6-way metal ones that came with the BX88229 kit. Both have the round female plugs included with them though. I have listed them below: Blue Ox 6-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord with 6-Way, Round Plugs item # BX8862 RoadMaster 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Cord Kit with Mounting Brackets item # RM-1466 What vehicle are you flat towing?
view full answer... - Can 4-Flat Plug On Jeep Wrangler Be Used For Light Bar On Bike Rack While Flat Towing? Hi Charles. Yes, you can absolutely use the 4 way plug on your 2011 Jeep Wrangler to power a light bar on a bike rack while flat towing. Since your Jeep is already receiving the lighting signals from the motorhome through the 7 way to 6 way harness, that 4 way connector on the Jeep will carry the same tail, turn, and brake signals. Does your bike rack already have a built-in light bar? If not, the Curt Auxiliary LED Indicator Lights # C53201 are a great option that can be added to virtually...

view full answer... - Adapter For Trailer With 6-Pin Round Plug And Vehicle With 4-Flat Hello Kevin. We do have an adapter you can use for this purpose. Take a look at the Adapter 4 Pole to 6 Pole and 4 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 37175. This will connect to the 4 flat plug on your car and will allow you to connect the 6-prong round plug on your boat trailer. The white ground wire will need to be grounded to the vehicle frame. You can leave the other two wires disconnected, but this will only operate the lights on the trailer.

The 12V power pin can be used to maintain the battery on your towed vehicle. If you have a different wiring setup other than the part that I referenced then I will need to know exactly what your setup is so that I can give you an accurate answer. I have attached a picture that...

To start you will need a trailer end 6-way connector # PK11604 and 5' of # DW04923-1. The # DW04923-1 is sold in a quantity of 1' so for 5' you will need to order a quantity of 5.

- Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Ford Edge Titanium Behind a Motor Home with Unified Tow Brake SystemFor tow bar wiring to activate the tail lights on your 2015 Ford Edge Titanium when flat towing it behind a motor home you have a few options. But since you are using a supplemental braking system I recommend using 6 diodes. First you would need the 4 diode kit, # RM-154, and then 2 additional diodes, # RM-792. You would then wire it up like the picture I have included. This will only work if the motor home also has turn signals that are on a different bulb than the brake lights. If the...

You will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the towed vehicle, and a supplemental brake system. If your Mini is not the John Cooper model the base plates I recommend are part # BX1307. The tow bar I recommend is the Blue Ox Alpha, part # BX7380. The safety cables are included with the tow bar. For tow bar wiring I recommend part # BX8869. To connect the wiring to the motorhome we offer a couple options. You...

You could go to your local hardware store to find screws/bolts that will hold it to your bumper or receiver. Or a better route would be to use Curt Mounting Bracket for 4-, 5-, or 6-Pole Round Trailer Connector # C92CR which is a bracket and hardware set to install a round 6 wire plug on a hitch receiver, frame, or bumper of a vehicle.

You will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the Elantra, and most states now require a supplemental brake system. If your Elantra is not a GT the Blue Ox base plates, part # BX2331 would work well. The tow bar that would also work well is the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar, part # BX7380. This tow bar is designed with a motor home mount and will work well with the BX2331 base plates. This tow bar...

I found one online for the 2013 Fit from Honda and it states that you can tow the vehicle behind a motor home. There are special instructions for the automatic transmission you will want to look at so be sure to check your owners manual. You will need 5 items to flat tow your fit. First you will need base plates, # BX2253. These provide a safe mounting location for a tow bar. For a compatible...

Both will have 4WD high and low settings indicated by up or down arrows and both will have a neutral position. Flat towing a vehicle like your Silverado 3500 requires a number of components, all of which are outlined in the linked article. These include...

The ground wire is 12-gauge but all other circuit wiring is 16-gauge.
view full answer... - Which Tow Bar Wiring Diode Kit is Used to Flat Tow a 2003 Chevy Tracker Behind a Motor HomeThe diode kit recommended for your 2003 Chevy Tracker is actually the 6-diode kit # 154-792-118158. Those 2 additional diodes will allow the turn signals and brake lights to be separate on the Tracker when it is being towed. When using a 4-diode kit such as # 38955 the red brake lights will function as both brake lights and turn signals which is perfectly legal if that is what you are worried about. Since you already have a 4-diode kit at the very least you will just need 2 more diodes,...

- Why Are There No All-In-One Flat Towing KitsThe reason that no one offers an all-in-one flat towing kit is that vehicles differ so much in their dimensions, weight and in the available access to the frame for securing the base plates that it would be just about impossible to design one kit that would work on most vehicles. Although we cannot offer you a one-box kit we can still help you select each of the required items to safely and legally flat tow your Jeep Wrangler. You may care to start with the linked article on flat towing...
view full answer... - Is The Blue Ox 6-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord Available Without The Sockets? Hey Peter, thanks for reaching out. We can definitely get you a replacement for the Blue Ox # BX8862, but unfortunately Blue Ox doesn't offer just the coiled cable by itself. All of the replacement umbilical cords come as a complete assembly with cord and the sockets. I know that's probably not the answer you were hoping for, especially since the connectors are still in good shape. At this time, replacing the entire # BX8862 assembly is the only option Blue Ox offers. What vehicle do...

Along with the bulb and socket kit you will need an electrical cord and connectors to go from the towed vehicle to the motorhome. Blue Ox recommends the 4-Wire, Coiled Electrical Cord with 4-Way connectors, # BX8861 if your motorhome needs a 4-Way round connector, and the 6-Wire Coiled Electrical Cord with 6-Way round connectors, # BX8862 if your...

I have linked a video showing an example installation. I also recommend coiled extension kit # BX8862. Another is to use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120 since they are not vehicle specific. This is a low cost option that you could use until such a time that other kits become available.

You can use the Blue Ox base plates, # BX3321. In order to use your Falcon tow bar you will have to use adapter # RM-031 that adapts the Roadmaster tow bar for use with the Blue Ox base plates. If you need safety cables, I recommend the straight cables, # RM-646, because the Falcon all terrain tow bar has cable guides on each arm. For lighting, you can use the Blue...
