Got the Cruze and MH all set up!
Holy Schmoly! That was a LOT of work!!
Starting at the Motorhome and working my way back...
1. installed the dash light for the ReadyBrake system
2. 4 inch drop receiver
3. Ready Brake into drop receiver and set up in the Cruze (this was a PITA!!)
4. Blue OX Alpha Tow bar
5. Blue OX Base Plate (another HUGE PITA!)
6. Blue OX 7 to 4 pin umbilical cord
7. Blue Ox Tail Light kit (adding the bulbs to the taillight housing)
Total of about 10 hours (broken up over a couple of days).
Took it for a drag... it tows great!! ALl the lights work... the brakes work! The brakes DO NOT activate when the MH Engine Brake slows the coach.
I got a couple of quotes of >$3k to have it all installed. I did it all myself for $1200.
Time for a beer.. or 6.
