  Hey Michael, welcome back! Since your 2020 Ram 1500 has separate brake and turn signals you're also going to need the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter item # 118158 and two extra diodes item # RM-792.

What kind of motorhome do you have? You can add this...

• Wiring Kit to Flat Tow a 2017 Ford Focus SEL Hatchback with Separate Wiring
  The differences between the two custom wiring kits you mentioned is the vehicles they are designed to fit. However, neither of them fit your 2017 Ford Focus. Part # HM56200 fits a Jeep Wrangler JK from 2017 and 2018 and part # HM56007 fits a Focus but it's the sedan model from 2012 to 2014. These kits offer a simple plug-in installation behind the vehicle's tail lights. Unfortunately, this option isn't available for your 2017 hatchback. Instead I recommend part # TR118821 that does...

• Wiring Up Reverse Lights on Trailer to Use as Both Reverse Lights and Utility Lights
  In order to use your reverse lights as utility lights you would have to have a separate 12 volt power wire running to the lights. You would need a switch and you would need diodes to prevent back feeding. You would need to run some wire from the 12 volt circuit on the trailer connector back to the reverse lights. A switch will need to be installed in line with the main power wire going back to the lights. Diodes would be needed at each light you will be wiring up. Take a look at the picture...

• How To Get New Arms For A Baseplate On A Used 2020 Jeep Wrangler
  I believe you have Roadmaster baseplates like # RM-521453-5 instead since the Curt baseplate that's confirmed to fit your 2020 Jeep Wrangler is a different style than what you have pictured. You best bet to confirm would be to remove the underbelly skid plate to get a better look at them to confirm. If they are Roadmaster branded then you'll need to fill out the form under the Installation Details on # RM-ARMS, which I've also attached below and send it in to Roadmaster to get the correct...

• Are the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diodes Water Tight
  As long as you are not exceeding the 85 amps at 12 volts per diode max load then you can definitely use the configuration in your diagram. I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster who said that the connections are not watertight but the internal components are. You would either need to find a way to make the connections watertight (as you mentioned in your diagram) or simply wipe the connections off if you were to go off-road with your 2011 Jeep Wrangler and get the diode(s) wet. We have...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Ford Edge Titanium Behind a Motor Home with Unified Tow Brake System
  For tow bar wiring to activate the tail lights on your 2015 Ford Edge Titanium when flat towing it behind a motor home you have a few options. But since you are using a supplemental braking system I recommend using 6 diodes. First you would need the 4 diode kit, # RM-154, and then 2 additional diodes, # RM-792. You would then wire it up like the picture I have included. This will only work if the motor home also has turn signals that are on a different bulb than the brake lights. If the...

• Can Diodes be Used to Combine Brake Lights and Turn Signals
  What you need is a converter to take the separate turn and brake light circuits and combine them. You will need converter # RM-732. It will take the separate signals and combine them so on the output side you have a green wire for right turn and brake and a yellow wire for left turn and brake. A diode is just a gate. It cannot discern the difference between the brake signal and the turn signal. So if you were turning left or right and braking at the same time chances are the higher draw...

• Roadmaster InvisiBrake Battery Charging Capabilities While Flat Towing
  Yes the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System Item # RM-8700 will connect directly to your towed vehicle's battery and charge it while driving unlike most braking systems that would actually drain your battery.

When using TrailerMate wiring with the InvisiBrake, it will be necessary to purchase an additonal two diodes, ( item # RM-792 - sold...

We don't have an installation video of this wiring harness on a Bronco...

• How Does Tow Vehicle with Separate Turn Signals from Stoplights Get Wired w Diodes for Flat Towing
  A 4-way would not be able to carry a separate brake light from a turn signal but if you used a signal converter and a kit with additional diodes you could separate out the turn signals from the stoplights. For most people it's easiest to wire vehicles with separate turn signals from stoplights as a combined setup which is what I would do. This won't use the amber turn signals of your Mini at all but what is now the stoplight/running light bulbs would control all three circuits and would...
