• Why Does 2017 Jeep Renegade Require Custom Fit Trailer Wiring Harness
  There's a couple reasons you'll have to install a custom trailer wiring kit for your 2017 Jeep Renegade and wouldn't be able to just hardwire in a 4-way. Mainly your taillight circuits on your Jeep aren't the right style for trailer wiring. You need to have the taillight circuits so that the stop and turn signals are on the same wire and then the running lights are on a different one. Also your vehicle taillights aren't rated for the extra amperage draw of trailer wiring so you need a kit...

• Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle
  Although we do not have a custom fit hitch available for your 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, I have a hitch that should work for you. Take a look at the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C13701. This is a universal style hitch receiver that will fit frame widths of 18 inches to 51 inches and can be bolted or welded to the frame. Since the frame of a Chevelle is not 51 inches wide, you will need to make sure that you have enough clearance past the frame for the longer cross tube or the...

• Easiest Way to Hook Up Trailer Lights for Double Towing
  The easiest way to hook up the lighting is to use a junction box # 38656 along with 4-flat connector # 18172, which you can then mount using the brackets # 18144 and # 18140. Then you'll need to run the lights from your camper to the junction box and then to the 4-flat connector. Just to note, you are not going to be able to use the 7 way and the 4 flat at the same time.

• Adapter for a 6-Way Round on a Harley Davidson Trike to a 4-Way Flat Trailer
  It does not appear that any of the 6-Way to 4-Way adapters are going to work because of the unique pin out that is on the 6-Way on your 2013 Harley trike. You would essentially need to make an adapter to match the pin out. You will need a trailer side 6-Way, # PK11604, and a vehicle side 4-Way, # 18172, cut to the length you need. Then you just attach the wires in the right place to match the 6-Way you have. On the 4-Way end the white wire is ground, yellow is left turn and stop, green...

• Using Ford LED Hitch Cover on a 2014 Ford Focus when Flat Towing and When Driving
  Since you are towing the Focus behind the RV, you would not use wiring harness # 118549 for that purpose. This harness would be used for the Focus to tow a trailer and not to tow the Focus with the motor home. I do understand what you are trying to accomplish though and why you selected that harness; the Ford LED hitch cover # CR-017F has to plug into something! But if you want to use the cover all of the time and not just when flat towing the Focus you will need to have the wiring harness...
