• Flat Towing Setup For 2016 GMC Yukon Denali
  
• As long as the 2016 GMC Yukon Denali has 4WD with a two-speed transfer case that has a Neutral and 4 wheel drive low setting, you can flat tow it with all 4 wheels on the ground behind the 2018 Allegro Bus. If the GMC has 2WD, it has to be towed with a dolly with the rear wheels off the ground. When flat towing or dolly towing, the battery does need to be disconnected. You can use a Roadmaster quick battery disconnect part # RM-766. The Roadmaster battery disconnect allows you to wire in...

• Coiled 7-Way to 4-Way Recommendation for Towed Vehicle
  
• Yes, we have the Wesbar # 787196 which is an 8 foot long 7-way to 5-way. I know you need a 4-way but this will work well as the fifth circuit would just not be used.

• 7-Way to 4-Pole Wiring Adapter to Allow Use of Pilot Oval LED Brake Light Hitch Cover CR-017
  
• It sounds like your 2014 Toyota Tacoma has a 7-way RV-style blade trailer connector, like the part shown in the linked photo. To connect this type of trailer wiring to the 4-pole flat type used on the Pilot Oval LED Brake Light Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover # CR-017 you will need an adapter such as # HM47065, # HM47365 or # MT70086. These and all such adapters are shown on the linked page.

• Are RV 7-Way to 4-Pole Wiring Adaptors Vehicle-Specific
  
• Trailer wiring adapters like Hopkins # HM47065, Pollak # PK12716 and Hopkins # HM47365 are not vehicle-specific products. They will work on any vehicle that has the appropriate connector. The coiled wire adapter # HM47065 that you referenced combines a trailer-side (male) 7-way RV-style plug (that mates with the 7-way socket on your Ram 3500) with a vehicle-side 4-pole flat type plug. This wiring adapter carries only lighting signals (stop, turn and tail) but not other functions like...

• Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for 2001 Ford Ranger
  
• For tow bar lighting for your 2001 Ford Ranger you would want the Hopkins Kit part # HM56004 which is a custom fit setup for your vehicle. The connectors plug inline with the taillight connectors on your truck and allows your RV to control them. If your tow vehicle has a 7-way you would want the part # HM47065 to use as an umbilical adapter to span distance between RV and Ranger.

• Is The Base Plate For 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk Compatible With The Blue Ox Tow Bars 10,000 lbs?
  
• We have two base plate options for your 2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk that are compatible with the Blue Ox Tow Bars with use of an adapter. The baseplates we have for your vehicle are the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # RM-521446-4 or the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # RM-521446-5. However, neither option is a fit with Active Air Shutters. The EZ4 base plates are compatible with Blue Ox Tow Bars like the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motor Home Mount -...

• 7-Way to 4-Way Adapter for a 2016 Honda Pilot with Factory 7-Way Trailer Connector
  
• You could use 7- to 4-Way adapter # HM47065 if you need the extra 3 feet of length the coiled cable provides. If you do not need the extra length you could use adapter # PK12716 and the trailer's 4-Way would plug into the back of it (which would be plugged into the 7-Way). I have linked video reviews of both adapters for you.

• Available 7-Way to 4-Pole and 5-Pole Wiring Adapters
  
• Yes, a 4-pole flat type trailer connector can mate with a 5-pole flat. The additional circuit on the 5-pole side would obviously not be connected. But we do have 7-way to 4-pole cord-type wiring adapters too, similar to 7-to-5 adapter # A57CCB, such as # HM47065, # C57271 and # MT70086. We also have plug-style adapters such as # HM47570 that convert a 7-way to 4-, 5- and 6-pole, all in one product. All wiring adapters are shown on the linked page.

• Recommended Components For Flat-Towing 2007 Saturn Ion
  
• From my research, I found that the Ion can be flat-towed if it is not the Red Line model. When flat-towing any vehicle, you will need 5 items. You need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the vehicle, and most states now require a supplemental brake system. The base plates I recommend for your Ion is the Roadmaster EZ Base Plates, part # 523118-1. The tow bar I recommend is the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar, part # RM-020. Since you need to tow the Ion with the tow bar...

• Adapter for a 7-Way Connector on a 2010 Toyota Tacoma and a 4-Way on Magnetic Wiring Harness
  
• It sounds like the magnetic kit you have uses a 4-Way flat connector and the truck has a 7-Way blade style connector. There is an adapter you can use. Several as a matter of fact. I have included a link to them for you to view. A simple option like # PK12716 is all you would need. But since you are flat towing, you may need some extra slack so going with a coiled adapter like # HM47065 may be the best way to go.

• Brake Lights Not Working When 2013 Audi Q7 is Hooked up to Boat Trailer
  
• On the trailer side of wiring the stop signal is connected to both the left and right turn signals. Because your turn signals are working I don't believe that the problem is the Hopkins Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole with Tester and Cover # 47345. The problem is most likely that the trailer has a bad ground or the harness is being overloaded when you connect your trailer to your 2013 Audi Q7. The only way that the connector would be the issue is if it was damage in some way or if the connectors...

• Necessary Equipment for Towing 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind Motorhome
  
• According to my research, if your Grand Cherokee has a manual transfer case with a Neutral position, it can be flat towed, unless it has the Quadra Trac I 4 wheel drive system. There is a specific procedure that must be followed, which is outlined in your owner's manual. From what I read online, the Jeep WJ (Grand Cherokee 1999-2004 model years) is a popular vehicle to flat tow. The WJ is lighter than later models, which makes it good for flat towing. In order to flat tow your Grand...

• Is There a Different Sized Plug Version of the Wesbar 787207?
  
• The simple answer to this is going to be no, because trailer connections adhere to an industry standard in order to ensure compatibility between different manufacturers and for end user convenience. Trailer connector adapters like the Wesbar # 787207 will be the same size as something like the Hopkins # HM47065 -they are all going to have the same dimensions assuming they're the same type of connections (7 flat, 4 or 5 blade, etc.). For these reasons, the 7 way end on the Wesbar # 787207...

• 7-Way to 4-Pole Tow Bar Wiring Adapter Needed to Connect RV to Vehicle
  
• The adapter needed will depend on which 4-pole connector is used on the vehicle. For a 7-way to 4-pole flat connector, use part # HM47065. If the 4-pole connector has the round plug, use the 7-way to 4-pole round adapter, part # HM47043.

• 7-Way to 4-Way Adapter Recommendation
  
• I have a better solution for you, but technically the part # HM47065 that you referenced would work go from a 7-way to a 4-way connector. What would be a better solution would be the part # PK12716. This will plug right into your 7-way and will allow you to connect your 4-way to it.

• Using Ultra-Fab UF48-979033 Motorcycle Carrier for 400-lb BMW Motorcycle
  
• The Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier # UF48-979033 will fit the 2-inch hitch on your 2015 Ram pickup and will provide a 500-lb capacity for your 400-lb BMW motorcycle. You'll also want to check your hitch to confirm its tongue weight (TW) capacity and to check your owner's manual to verify the truck's TW rating. Both the hitch and truck have to be rated for at least 500-lbs of tongue weight since both have to handle the combined weight of the bike itself plus the 51-lb weight of the Rage...

• 7-Way To 4-Way Adapter Recommendation For 2003 Hummer H2 Towing A Rented Trailer
  
• Since the owner's manual on your 2003 Hummer H2 states it has a universal 7-way connector on the back, we have an adapter that will work fine for you. I recommend the Hopkins Heavy-Duty, Coiled Trailer Connector Adapter, part # HM47075. This connects to the 7-way on your Hummer and gives you a 4-way connector to connect the trailer to. As long as the 4-way connector on the trailer you are renting has the standard 4-way flat connector attached, using the # HM47075 should take care of...

• Base Plates and Flat Towing Equipment for 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hardrock Edition
  
• The Roadmaster # 1444-3 MX Baseplate Kit you referenced is specifically designed for use with a Rubicon Hard Rock model. It will fit your Wrangler Unlimited as long as it has the stock front bumper without a winch or a brush guard. You'll also need safety cables like # RM-643 and a Tow Bar like the Roadmaster Falcon 2, part # RM-520. The Falcon 2 is easy to use, featuring auto centering and locking arms so the vehicle doesn't need to be perfectly lined up with the tow vehicle in order to...

• Is Hopkins # HM47065 7-Way to 4-Pole Adapter Compatible with 2015 Toyota Tacoma
  
• The Hopkins # HM47065 is not a vehicle specific item, it will work in the 7-way of any vehicle and allow a trailer or flat towed vehicle with a 4-pole flat connector to receive lighting signals from the tow vehicle. The # HM47065 would typically be used for flat towing a vehicle, while an adapter like part # PK12716 would usually be used for a trailer.

• How to Adapt 4-Pole Trailer Wiring for Connection to Truck with a 7-Way Trailer Connector
  
• No worries, we can help you! If your trailer still has a 4-pole plug like the one shown in the linked photo then you may be able to use a simple adapter like # PK12716 or # HM47065 to connect your trailer to your truck's 7-way. If you have just the wire leads then you can make a more reliable permanent modification to the trailer so it matches your truck's connector without the potential reliability issues that can occur when using adapters and the extra connections they create....

• Will There be an Issue with Steering when Flat Towing a 2016 Ford Edge
  
• I looked up an online version of the owner's manual for your 2016 Ford Edge and it didn't say anything about a concern with the steering. I recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual and then, if you still have questions, a Ford dealer who would know more details about that end of the flat towing process. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If...

• Available 7-Way to 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Adapters
  
• We do offer trailer wiring adapters that can allow connecting different wiring formats such as a 4-pole and a 7-way. But as you noted, if you convert 7-way vehicle wiring down to 4-pole trailer wiring you do naturally lose 3 circuits: 12V auxiliary power, reverse lights and trailer brake power. All such adapters are shown on the linked page. I suggest using a cable type adapter like # HM47065 since it provides strain-relief, unlike the solid adapters such as # PK12716.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Jeep Wrangler Behind a Motor Home
  
• There are at least 5 things you will need to flat tow your 2013 Jeep Wrangler: base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For a great clean look I recommend the Demco tabless base plates # DM9519292. They're barely noticable. You do need to have the factory bumper for the Sport model in order for them to fit. If you have a different front bumper let me know what it is or send me a picture. I attached a picture of the base plate kit installed so you...

• Do Fuses Need to be Pulled on 2012 Chevy Silverado when Flat Towing
  
• I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 and it states that if it is a four-wheel-drive model it can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. The manual does not state that any fuses need to be pulled or that the battery needs to be disconnected. I do just recommend verifying this information in your copy of the manual in case you have a slightly different model. In order to flat tow your truck you will need a base plate kit,...

• Tow Bar Wiring to Dolly Tow a 2014 Toyota Corolla Behind a Motor Home
  
• Since you already have converter # 118158 all you will need is the 4-diode kit, # RM-154, and 2 additional diodes, # RM-792, to make a 6 diode kit. I have included a video of an example installation you can use as a guide and a link to the instructions for you. To connect to a 7-Way connector on the RV you can use a 7-Way to 4-Way adapter, # HM47065.

• Adding a 4- and 7-Way Connector to a 2009 Pontiac Montana with 4-Way Trailer Connector
  
• To add a 7-Way trailer connector to your 2009 Pontiac Montana with a 4-Way you will need # 37185. Your 4-Way will plug into this adapter's mating 4-Way. You will need to ground the white wire to the van frame. This adapter has both a 4- and 7-Way connector so you will retain the use of the 4-Way. The remaining wires on the adapter are blue for electric brakes, purple for reverse lights, and black for 12 volt power. You already mentioned not using the trailer brakes so the blue wire...

• Adapting a 7-Way Trailer Connector on an RV to a 4-Way Flat on a Towed Vehicle
  
• If the coach uses the 7-Way RV style connector with blade style pins then you can use coiled adapter, # HM47065, with the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit, # HM56000, or similar tow bar wiring that has a 4-Way flat end. If the coach has a 7-Way round pin connector then you can use an adapter such as # 118709. But you will likely need a 4-Way extension, # HM47115, to reach from the front of the vehicle to the coach. If your coach has a 6-Way round pin connector then you would use...

• Is Wiring Adapter Available to Connect 4-Flat and 4-Round to 7-Way Vehicle End Connector

If local laws don't require you to use both the lights on the tow dolly as well as additional lights, I recommend only using the lights that will be most visible on the road, likely the additional taillights. We have one wiring adapter that will allow you to connect the 7-Way blade-style connector...

You can either use an adapter like the Hopkins # HM47065 or you can change out the 7-Way connector on your 2014 Toyota Tacoma for the Hopkins # HM48470 which will give you both the 7-Way and 4-Pole connectors. I recommend going with the 2nd choice (part # HM48470) since it is a permanent solution that will accommodate both trailers...

If you have a round 7-Way Round connector on your tow vehicle and you are wanting to connect the 4-flat connector on the cargo carrier light kit, # 20174, to it, you can use the Hopkins Heavy-Duty Trailer Coiled Wire Adapter for 7-Way to 4-Wire Flat, # HM47065.
