  • Wiring Umbilical Included With Roadmaster # RM-576 Sterling Tow Bar

  • Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with Trailer Wiring
  • It's the tow bar wiring part # HM56200 that's preventing the trailer wiring from working. If you have to have trailer wiring and tow bar wiring this is not the solution.

  • With a wiring kit that has straight cables like your Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7, all you need to do is wrap the wiring cables right around the arm of your etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR.
