Question:

Hi, I watched a video about hooking up a 2014 Ford Fiesta to a Motorhome. In the video a list of required components is listed, but I wasnt able to get a total mount in terms of price. If I have a motorhome with existing hitch installed and an existing brake controller installed, what would my total cost be for the flat tow set up? I am looking at the Roadmaster Falcon tow bar/baseplate with wiring kit, safety cables and pins. What is the cost of the electric brake kit and the total overall cost of all the components needed? Thanks

Expert Reply:

In order to setup a 2014 Ford Fiesta for flat-towing you'll need a base plate kit, tow bar, towed vehicle wiring harness, and a supplemental braking system. I have attached a list of these for you below. Please note, you can't use an electric trailer brake controller to activate the brakes on the towed vehicle as they are hydraulic, not electric.
