Towing a 2015 Hyundai Elantra Behind a 2018 Tiffin Allegro Using the Roadmaster RM2000-1 Tow Dolly  

Question:

I have a 2018 Tiffin Allegro 36LA gas class A motorhome on a Ford F53 24,000lbs chassis. We will be towing a 2015 Hyundai Elantra with automatic transmission. What is the list of components that I will need to successfully tow, and availability of all parts. Will be leaving November 15, so need everything working and tested prior to that date. Dont want any road issues. Thank you

Since your 2015 Hyundai Elantra cannot be flat towed, you will need to use a tow dolly, like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 that you referenced.

This is a great tow dolly that can tow a vehicle that weighs up to 4,250 lbs so it will work great for towing your Elantra. It does come with a 4-Way flat connector already installed that activates the light functions. If you would like to utilize the brakes, which I recommend doing, then you will get a 6-Way, like part # PK11604, or a 7-Way, like part # PK12706, (whichever matches the connector at the rear of your motorhome) to replace the 4-Way flat. All of the wiring needed to activate the brakes is included.

Aside from that the only other thing that you may need to install is some magnetic tow lights like the Optronics Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK to ensure that people can see your light functions since the lights for the tow dolly are on the sides. You will simply need to splice the pigtail into the light functions at the front of the tow dolly.

We do offer some accessories for the Roadmaster tow dolly that you might want to consider as well. Using the Spare Tire Carrier # RM-2000-7 and Spare Tire and Wheel # RM-200330-80 are great to have handy in case you experience a flat while traveling.

To protect your Elantra from road debris you can also install the Guardian Shield Mounting Bracket # RM-2000-8 and use the Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000.

I have attached some review videos for you to reference as well.
