• Flat Tow Setup for 2025 Bronco with the Least Amount of Modifcation
  Hey there, I completely understand wanting to keep your new Bronco as clean and unmodified as possible while still getting a solid flat tow setup. For a 2025 Bronco with the capable bumper, the best confirmed base plate option is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect kit, part # RM92ZR. This is designed to work with that bumper, but I do want to be upfront that there will still be some light modification involved. You’ll need to trim a small section of the bumper and drill a few holes for the...

• Recommended Flat Tow Wiring Harness for a 2025 Jeep Gladiator
  Hey Fred, welcome back. There is no flat towing wiring harness with built in diodes that doesn't require splicing into your Gladiator's lights. You will definitely need the diodes regardless of what flat tow braking system you're using. The diodes separate your turn and brake signals so the individual functions work correctly while connected to your RV. They also prevent feedback. I have two options for wiring harnesses that I recommend for your 2025 Jeep Gladiator. They come with the...

• Towing Lights that Bypass the Tow Vehicle's Wiring and Are NOT Magnetic
  If you don't want to tap into your 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler's wiring to tow and your top does not have any metal for our magnetic lights, then we have one other option available for you, the Demco LED Light Bar for Towed Vehicles w/ Wireless Transmitter # DM36MV. This light bar uses suction cup to attach to the roof or trunk and has a secondary connection by straps. This may work for your soft top, but I would suggest finding something with a suction cup on your roof first to test how well...

• Does the Vehicle on a Demco Kar Kaddy Tow Dolly need Additional Tail Lights When being Towed?
  Good question Len, thanks for asking! The Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093 has DOT compliant brake lights, tail lights, turn signals, marker lights and a license plate light, so additional brake/turn lights on the towed vehicle are generally not required. That said, lighting requirements can vary by state or province, so we recommend checking the regulations for the areas where you'll be traveling just to make sure. Some owners also choose to add magnetic tow light like # DM36MV to the vehicle...

• Best flat tow wiring for 2012 Jeep Liberty

This kit ties into your Jeep’s existing tail light wiring and gives you a dedicated plug at the front of the vehicle so your motorhome can control the brake lights, turn signals, and running lights just like it should while towing. It’s a very clean...

• Can Demco LED Tow Light Bar for Towed Vehicles Charge Towed Vehicle Battery When Used
  Hey Ed, the trailer wiring portion of the Demco LED Tow Light Bar for Towed Vehicles w/ Wireless Transmitter # DM36MV that you referenced can allow the 12 volt charge circuit to pass through. It would plug into a 7-way but the output side is a 6-way round which is a style of connector that has enough pins for a 12 volt charge circuit. What are you flat towing?

• Can I Use A Diode Kit On A 2024 Lincoln Nautilus
  Hello Dennis. There is not a lot of information out there on the 2024 Lincoln Nautilus as far as flat tow wiring. Based on what I can find online, a diode kit cannot be used on a 2024 Nautilus. The only approved solution for brake lights at this time are magnetic tow lights such as the Demco LED Light Bar for Towed Vehicles # DM36MV, which is what I recommend.

• Is The Demco LED Light Bar For Towed Vehcles DOT Approved And Legal For Use
  Hi Chris, Yes, the Demco LED Light Bar for Towed Vehicles w/ Wireless Transmitter # DM36MV is approved and legal for flat towing your vehicle. It's designed to attach to the rear window with a suction cup and face rearward so that others on the road can clearly see your light signals. There could be separate laws depending on the area you're traveling through so you'll need to check with those municipalities but you really shouldn't have an issue unless your rear window is dirty and not...

• Why Wouldn't Demco Wireless LED Tow Bar Lighting Kit DM36MV Work with Mercedes Sprinter
  German vehicles like the Mercedes Sprinters have trailer wiring that just does not like to work with LED lighting like what the Demco part # DM36MV provides. But thankfully we have an adapter that was designed to solve this problem with the Curt 7-Way Adapter part # C57003. The error code you are seeing is for a "bulb out" or basically the vehicle thinks you have a blown taillight.

• Can the Demco LED Light Bar Be Connected to a Splitter
  Hey Steve, so in regards to your first question I don't see anything wrong with using a splitter and an extension cord with the Demco LED Light Bar for Towed Vehicles w/ Wireless Transmitter # DM36MV as long as it's getting 12V, and your cords are protected, it doesn't matter. For your second question, there is not really a way to tell but since your Jeep does not have to have it's battery disconnected to flat tow, you shouldn't end up with a dead battery. If it turns out you need to...

• What Flat-Tow Setup do You Recommend for My 2017 Ford F-250?
  I have a great solution for you. Since you say that you are looking to flat-tow multiple vehicles, I strongly recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR. This system is a much more reliable and higher-quality system than a Brake Buddy system. Also, with the Patriot, you do not need any additional extra vehicle wiring to use it in another vehicle. You simply remove the Patriot from the F-250 into the other vehicle. For the F-250, you need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay...

• Does 2021 GMC Yukon With Demco Air Force One Need Wiring for Lights
  Hey Norman! The Demco Air Force One # SM99243 only handles braking. One way or another you need a supplemental braking system and this was the right choice with the air brakes. I'm not 100% sure what parts you have right now but every flat tow setup needs some form of wiring for the lights or a separate tow bar light like the one you described. Most people install Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267 which ties into their vehicle lights. If you go this...

• Plug And Play Taillight Wiring Harness For Flat Towing A 2021 Ford F-150
  To avoid splicing into your 2021 Ford F-150's wiring I recommend the Demco Wireless LED Light Bar for Towed Vehicles # DM36MV. This will allow you to simply plug into your RV and suction cup/strap down the tow lights to your vehicle and go. I recommend using some Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors, 2 oz. Item # 11755 on the 4 pole connectors to prevent corrosion.

• Flat Tow Second Brake Light Solution for Chevy Blazer
  Hi Marty, you’re definitely thinking in the right direction here, and I can see exactly what you’re trying to accomplish with adding a brake indicator at the very back of the Blazer. What you’re running into is normal for this type of setup. The 7-way on the Blazer’s hitch is not being powered by the motorhome for brake lights, because your lighting signals are already being carried through your 7-to-6 flat tow wiring. The brake output pin on a 7-way is meant for trailer brake controllers,...
