We are back and we did a thing! We traded the dually and bought a used Jeep Wrangler, manual transmission so we could tow 4 down if we purchase a motorhome. We installed a Roadmaster nighthawk. Then we did a test tow with Lynn's Silverado Duramax. It worked like a charm! Stay tuned because we are scheduled to do another thing tomorrow morning... If we can actually go through with it.🤪

Yep, I did pretty much the same thing except for my vehicle is an F150 so I can haul my bike in the back. I too cut off the 4 way connector and put on a 6 pin connector except that I am going to go with a Readybrake tow bar that has a surge brake in the tow bar. I also will use vacuum pump to keep the front differential from turning on the truck. I will have to install a cable through the firewall but it's a once and done kind of thing and I don't have to lug around a box for the brakes. Keep the good stuff coming.

Congrats! I love towing my same Jeep as yours, but a 2014 hardtop I bought used in 2017 as a flat toad behind my puny 23 foot class C. Fine for me and my two cats. I have a different Roadmaster system and use a brake buddy vantage select. Camping world installed it and my wiring needs to be squared away. Now just the brake lights and marker lights work. Turn signals are hosed. I need to square it away but seldom drive after dusk anyway.

Congratulations! Can’t wait to see the big dully. Question, we are residents of Florida and no brake for the toad is required. Apparently, Ohio is different. But, if I read the law correctly, if I’m pulled over by the men in blue in the Buckeye State, I’m still good to go because I’m registered in Florida. Am I mistaken? We will be back in Ohio this summer, pulling our toad with our 30 foot class C and we even went from Charlotte to PA to Ohio with no issues.

@kpoutdoorcustomz137 3 года назад
I may be confused about the relay that you added for the brake light/turn signal issue. When you tow the Jeep the ignition is off. So when the brake system applies the brake pedal you will not have brake lights. Correct? The turn signals will work all the time but the brake lights will only work when the ignition is on, which is not the case when flat towing a Jeep. Did I miss something?
@WanderingWagners
@WanderingWagners 2 года назад
You got it right. You don't want the braking system to activate the brake lights or it'll cancel out the turn signal if it's on.
