  The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if your 2007 Chevy Tahoe can be flat towed and if there are any specific requirements, restrictions, or recommendations. As long as your Tahoe isn't a hybrid model use base plate kit # DM9518200. I like the Demco kits beause there's nothing to remove when you're not towing and you can barely see them on the vehicle. For a compatible tow bar use the Dominator # DM9511008 which is rated for 7,500...

• Will the Brake Lights Over Load when a Brake System Applies Pressure to the Pedal
  Yes, the brake lights will go on when the Even Brake is applied. The diodes in a typical tail light wiring kit, like part # RM-154, protects the system so that when the Even Brake is activated, it essentially over rides the signal coming from the RV. Since you purchased RM-155, you should not have a problem. The signal from the RV is sent to the bulbs that came with RM-155. The signal that is sent when the Even Brake applies pressure to the pedal goes to the factory brake bulbs. So you...
