1.
UniversalWiringKit
This kit uses a system of diodes
to connect the towed vehicle’s turn
signals to the motorhome’s.
Diodes prevent electrical feedback
and protect both vehicles’ electrical
systems.
The kit comes complete with:
• four ‘Hy-Power’ diodes
(more diodes may be purchased
separately)
• a 30-foot strand of 4-wire elec-
trical cord
• three feet of split wire loom
• a six-foot power cord
(connects electricity between the
two vehicles)
• a ring terminal
• wire connectors
• cable ties
• step-by-step instructions

2.
TaillightWiringKit
A self-contained wiring system
that bypasses the towed vehicle’s
lighting with a set of independent
plugs and sockets mounted inside
the taillights.
The wiring is routed from the tail-
lights to the grille area.
Since the towed vehicle’s electrical
system is bypassed, this kit elimi-
nates the concern of voiding the ve-
hicle manufacturer’s warranty.
Important: the towed vehicle’s
taillight must have room for an extra
socket and bulb inside the lens hous-
ing.

vehicle’s electrical system.
• fits all vehicles
• magnets hold lights securely
• eliminates electrical damage to
the towed vehicle
• heavy-duty vinyl casing for
maximum wire protection

Towing and Suspension Solutions
By law, a towed vehicle’s turn signals, running lights and brake
lights must mimic the motorhome’s. There are three ways to
accomplish that:
1. installing a wiring kit with diodes
2. installing a wiring kit with bulbs and sockets
3. adding a magnetic tow light kit to the towed vehicle
Each method has its advantages. Whichever one you
choose, ROADMASTER has a kit with all the necessary
components, and step-by-step instructions.
Brake-LiteRelaykit
If you’re installing a supplemental braking system, chances are you’ll need a
Brake-Lite Relay. It must be installed in the majority of towed vehicles, to enable
the towed vehicle’s brake lights and turn signals to illuminate in tandem with
the motorhome’s, as required by law. Comes standard with Even Brake
®
.
• all wires and components included
• includes easy-to-follow instructions
