Expert Reply:
It sounds like you want to flat tow a 2000 GMC safari behind an RV, and you need a flat tow wiring kit to operate your tail lights on the Safari. I would recommend the Roadmaster # RM-152-98146-7 Universal wiring kit which includes everything you need to connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your towed car. Diodes prevent feedback and wire your car to operate as a combined system. Includes a 7-way to 6-way straight adapter cord.
If you only want the tail light diodes, you can use the Roadmaster # RM-794 diodes.
If you would like to flat tow your Safari, you should first consult your owner's manual or dealership to determine if you can safely flat tow it. If so, you will additionally use the Roadmaster # 3138-1 Base Plate Kit, # RM-645 safety cables, # RM-522 all-terrain tow bar, and Brake Buddy # HM39524 supplemental braking system.
