Tow a vehicle?
Looking to tow with our Class A motor-home. Must the vehicle be rear wheel drive, manual transmission, rewired, running to operate the brakes? I need to know this to make the right choice. Thank you i...

I use relay's that are powered by the RV on the solenoid and the actual contact is powered by the vehicles battery that is charged by the RV's charger via the 7 pin connector.
It works this way, turn signal lever for left turn, electric pulses are sent via the yellow wire to the toad's left rear light housing and energize the relay that has positive current coming from the toads battery, every time that the solenoid is on the relay is closed and the light bulb turns on, I do not use the vehicles wiring at all just the light bulbs that are there, spliced and soldered wires with shrink tubing.
With this method I turn on five lamps with the turn signals or ten lamps with the emergency flashers, the brake lamps work the same way as the do the parking lights, this gives me bright lights that do not dim when I step on the brakes or turn signals, installed in 2002 and never had a problem.
