Finished wiring up my tow vehicle (2012 CRV) and hooked it up to our motorhome (2005 Damon Challenger) for the first time.
All seems to work... I used diodes and the only "glitch" is that the amber turn signal lights light up solid when I hit the brakes (along with the brake lights) They do blink when I signal (with the brakes applied or not) so I think I'm ok.
Total cost to me - approx $500 for the baseplate, diodes, wire, a couple of 6 pin round recepticles... (when I bought my MH it included a blue ox towbar, a brakebuddy and the umbilical)
Thanks to another member here (FIRE UP) for all the help/advice. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard either and my savings was VERY significant.
