Question:

what do you recommend for the installation of the BX2625 to my Lincoln? I already have the Aladdin tow bars, safety cables and electrical cable from MH to vehicle. How long due you estimate for the installation of base plate and vehicle wiring? Thanks

It's probably a safe bet that it's going to take 4+ hours to complete everything, assuming that you don't run into any issues along the way.

Depending on where you live and where you're towing, State laws may require you to have a supplemental braking system for your toad. I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO proportional system # SM99251 . This will apply the brakes of your tow vehicle in proportion to the braking used on your motorhome, which is for added safety and to reduce the wear and tear on both vehicles.

If you're not using magnetic tow lights, you will also need a relay like the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay kit # RM-88400 to keep the toad's brake lights from being overridden by the turn signals of your motorhome when braking during a turn
