• Could Tow Bar Lights be Used on Tow Dolly
  If you wanted to use the Peterson Tow Light Kit # PE26UR on a tow dolly you certainly could as they would cover the basic taillight functions, but they were intended to be closed in the trunk or hatch of a vehicle. This light kit is magnetic, so it securely attaches to any metal surface with strong magnets. You could also look at another magnetic light kit like part # TL21RK.

• Installing MaxxTow # MT70097 Magnetic Mount Tow Lights Permanently on Vehicle
  The Peterson # PE26UR Magnetic Tow Lights could be modified by doing some cutting and splicing to work as you describe. You would attach the connector of the wiring harness at the front of the vehicle and run the wiring under the vehicle. Following the frame member or an existing wiring harness works best.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Hyundai Accent
  I did some checking and it looks like the 2014 Hyundai Accent is only flat towable if it is the manual transmission model. The 2014 Honda Fit can be flat towed with either transmission style but it is not recommended to exceed 65 miles per hour. I would recommend consulting the owners manual of either vehicle or contacting a dealership to be sure. We only carry base plate kits for the Hyundai Accent though. So that might be the deciding factor. If you were to get a manual transmission...

• Correct Base Plates and Other Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2013 Mini Roadster
  The correct Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 2013 Mini Roadster is part # BX1307. I understand you are hoping to save some cash and make the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1303 work but that is really just not feasible as these base plate kits are custom fit to exact vehicles. The mounting flanges are in entirely different spots so I can only imagine the amount of modifications needed would far exceed the value of cutting cost.

• Flat Towing 2015 Honda Fit EX-L Automatic Behind a Class A Motor Home
  When it comes to deciding if any given vehicle can safely be flat towed with all wheels down that determination goes to the vehicle's manufacturer.

No mention is made if this refers to all versions or only to versions with the automatic transmission....

• Can 2014 Kia Soul with a Manual Transmission Be Flat Towed
  I did some checking and your 2014 Kia Soul with a manual transmission can be flat towed. Your Roadmaster tow bar can be used but you will need a new base plate kit as they are all custom fit for specific vehicles. For a base plate kit you'd need the # RM-522114-4. Aside from that most of the flat towing components from your old vehicle can swap to the Soul but it really depends on what you have.

• Only One Brake Light is Working with the Peterson Magnetic Tow Light Kit
  You will want to verify that both brake light signals are working at the RV side trailer connector. Unplug the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights # PE26UR, and use a circuit tester such as # PTW2992 to test the pins on the 4-Way while someone sits in the RV and runs through the lighting functions. The most likely cause of this is a bad ground or dirt/corrosion in the trailer connector on the RV. It would take a very small wire brush or small screwdriver to clean on the 4-Way. This recently...

• Using Peterson Tow Light Kit, # PE26UR, with a Tow Dolly Already Connected to RV Trailer Connector
  The Roadmaster Tow Dolly with electric brakes, # RM-2050-1, also already has lights on it which is why they did not provide an additional socket for lights. It also has a 4-Way flat trailer connector with extra blue wire for the electric brakes and not a 7-Way. Since your RV has a 7-Way, what I recommend is to change the connector on the tow dolly to a 7-Way, # PK12706, and then you can use the Hopkins mutli-tow adapter, # HM47570. This connector will allow you to plug in the 4-Way on...
