2006 CRV - Which wiring kit did you use. Thanks

Thanks, AVA. Been a difficult decision for me. I have decided to use the Roadmaster All-in-one with the 4 diodes setup. It will use the brake lights on my crv as my turn signals also. Since my brake lights will activate when the switch is off in my car, I will also wire a brake light relay switch that will keep my brake lights from coming on unless the car is running (in normal mode only, not while being towed). Wow, this is confusing. Basically, unless I wire the brake light relay, my normal brake light activation will override the signal from the motorhome.

I've been telling folks about this for decades and, some just don't get it that the toads brake lights are activated when the toads brake pedal is used for auxiliary brakes, ON SOME VEHICLES!!! It doesn't happen on all toads. And your thoughts of using a relay for that very situation is great.

But, on wiring your '06 CRV, that's a piece of cake too. On our '11 CRV, I did all the wiring for towing, as I've done on all our toads. I used some Radio Shack (now defunct) diodes that cost me a whopping $3.50 for four of them only, as usual, I only use two in my wiring.

I also used a " 2 wire to 3 wire" tail light converter.

Now, when I was done, my AMBER turn signals on the CRV worked as well as the regular brake lights. In other words, when someone was following us and we were towing, the CRVs tail lights acted the same EXACT WAY towing it, as they did when driving it. It was an easy job to do. If you'd like more info, please feel free to ask.
